Potty Training Update and D-Day

Potty Training Update:

Well, I guess it's been 3 weeks since we started potty training! It's definitely had it's ups and downs, but over all B has been doing great! We have had quite a few days with no accidents at all, and most of her accidents are just because we're busy playing outside and we both forget about the potty. I do expect some sort of regression (with the arrival of our new baby any day now!!), but I think I can proclaim her as [daytime] potty trained! Yay! Obviously I still need to help her wipe her bum and wash her hands, but I would rather do that then wrestle her into a clean diaper multiple times a day. I am glad we started potty training early. I know it wouldn't work for every kid but B actually has an interest in the potty and is proud of herself for using her potty-which I think is essential!


Jared made Mr Sleepy Sheepie his very own potty

Panties are the bomb!
In other news, I'm 40 weeks pregnant today... any time now baby! I'm starting to feel prepared. No, my house isn't as clean as I would like it, but despite my cleaning efforts we live here and we all attribute to the daily messes..and since I'm running low on 'nesting' energy I'm starting to accept that. I got a hair cut a few days ago which was very important to me, it had been almost a year since my last one..oops. My freezer is pretty full with meals, buns, soup, muffins, cookies, etc. I'm still adding to this stash quite regularly.
I'm really hoping and praying that I don't have to be induced with this baby. With B I was 2 weeks late and had to be induced. This time I'm trying many things such as Red Raspberry Leaf Tea, Evening Primrose Oil, lots of walking, squats, etc.. Hopefully something will help trigger my body into labour on it's own.. It's worth the try!
Story time with daddy :)

 
Cheeeesseeee
