i cant complain really its nicer to be this huge and minorly uncomfortable in grey weather than it is when its 104* out!
i am leaving here in a few minutes. dropping Addy off with Papa, then on my way!

What a cutie pie!

Tiff, I hope your mama blessing is wonderful! Wish I could go. Sadly, I think the last time I looked at the clock was 3 AM. Really. NO. MORE. COFFEE.

Thanks!

When they are done there would you send 'em over here pretty please?

I keep asking for a house elf (to be treated wonderfully well, I might add), but no one seems to have one on hand.....

Ok, so we got Mr Silly-Potty a timer... it beeps... he LOVES it. He is all on board to wear underweat just so we will set it, then 30 minutes later, he sits on the potty- yay! But today, we had to bring the potty out by the stero, so he could listen to pirates while he peed.

This seems like a good idea. I will have to remember it for when we get to the underwear stage. Somedays I think we are close. Other days, not so much. She is mostly waking up in the morning dry to go on the potty. She will go pee pee on the potty throughout the day if you place her on it. But if you ask her if she had to go she always shakes her head no. She does not poop on the potty and if she has poop in her diaper she will run away from you shaking her head


Just a little toilet update for any one who is interested.


Have a wonderful mama blessing today, tiffany!

I think this calls for one of the only times you may say "Kiss my Ass" and not mean it in a derogatory way....it's a boo boo and it needs a mooch!
:
Hydrocortizone cream for itchin', but other than that, I've got nothin. Sounds uncomfortable to say the least....

the mama blessing way great! tiff looks so happy and ready to become a mama of two now......thanks for letting us be a part of it and for sharing your fears with us. you'll do beautifully!

and thanks to arwyn for putting it together--wish i could have done more to help. i think it was a complete success so pat your self on the back--literally, do it. now. i am watching you.

(ps: i love brisen and he can eat my nose anytime.)

so i am so
right now b/c i felt crampy at the gatheirng, like i'd started my period which would be BS b/c i should ovulate anyday now. apparently removing the mirena can cause bleeding for who knows how long! so this isn't *really* a period--will i still ovulate? if i do will the bleeding flush out any baby-to-be's?? i am freakin'. thought everyone should know.
