Potty Training, take 5 or 6...

We started with potty training again last week. I think I may have mentioned it in my last post. If not, it was AWEFUL! I really didn't think I would survive. We were more laid back over the weekend with the boys going to a friends, church, the children's museum, etc. I didn't want to have to worry about Braylen not in a diaper since he wasn't telling me when he had to go. We have been back at it for 3 days now, & he has had 1 accident in 3 days. He is doing AWESOME! I'm so proud of him. He is just now starting to tell me he needs to go, but not consistently. He has gone poo in the potty twice also. He thinks thats funny & tells me it's "big poo-poo"& it's "ucky". He got a new potty yesterday. The one we had works just fine & he had used that all day on Tuesday, but I'm having a hard time getting him upstairs everytime he has to go. He goes willingly, but my big pregnant butt is exhausted! We got a "froggy potty" from Target...he loves it. I think I have to get another one because that's the only one he wants to use now. He won't go in the old one he had downstairs. We have gone up to the "froggy potty" everytime today. He did have one accident today & it's partly my fault. He had just gone poo & ended up having an accident about 10 minutes later. So, Braylen is well on his way to being potty-trained, he is going to end up an M&M addict, & we both may live to see his 3rd birthday!

Tucker has no interest in the potty, but lots of interest in the M&M's that come after! Tucker isn't doing much new, but he can sing the songs for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins & VeggieTales. I love to listen to him sing. He may not have all the words, but he uses his made-up words to the tune & does the motions.

I had my 24 wk Dr appt today. I had gained another 4 lbs & I'm measuring 25 cm. Baby's heartrate was in the 150's & everything looks good. We talked about delivery options & we will see how things are going around 32 or 36 or so weeks. It seems I could be a good candidate for VBAC but I have to keep in mind that at the slightest hint that this baby may have problems like Braylen we will head to the OR. She did say that I will have her no later than 39 weeks - June 2, whether its VBAC or scheduled c-section. I have already grown out of a pair of my maternity jeans, so only being pregnant 14 1/2 more weeks sounds pretty good right now!

love the belly shots! Want to do a stand in for me? lol!

Braylen is doing awesome with the potty training, he's gonna be a pro in no time...and wow hard to believe he's going to be 3 so soon. Josh also has a great interest in the M&Ms that follow pottying at our house - I'm pretty sure they are both going to be M&Ms addicts.

I'm wondering how long I have to keep up the M&M's...will he be in Junior High & still ask for M&M's after he pees?
