Potty training day 4 (a day late)

Forgot to do potty training update 4 (yesterday): my first day of potty training on my own!

Bm in the night time pull up. Liam refused to go potty on the toilet in the morning (we are noticing he is like this in the morning, perhaps holding it or maybe he honestly does not need to go?). Due to wet diapers we've had in the mornings (in the past), I started worrying about causing a bladder infection, so I went ahead & took him to the pool (even though I told him he couldn't go if he didn't go potty!). Of course, he went a little in the swim diaper (expected that & was hoping he would).

After swim, I put him in a pull up. We came home, ate lunch & slept most the afternoon away. Pull up wasn't soaked when I removed it (like I expected it to be) but he definitely used it during nap time.

At some point in the afternoon/early evening, he went potty on his toilet w/o me even knowing it (had to of been while I was making dinner, that's the only time my eye wasn't on him!). Kev came home from work & found pee in his potty (it definitely wasn't there after nap time).

Kev and I discussed the progress (or lack thereof). We've agreed to keep trying, but we are offering pull up's if he hasn't gone (we don't want him to get a bladder infection). We will continue like this until I take him to his 24 mo. Check up on the 12th. I'll discuss our progress/concerns with her then and see how she thinks we should proceed. Until then, we don't want to discourage him or cause any undue anxiety or medical problems, so we will just play it by ear!

Therapy...

Not being silent about our loss is looking to be the best therapy for me during this difficult time. Through Facebook I've had countless friends reach out to me and share their stories of loss. Although it doesn't make me feel better, as we're talking about too many babies in heaven, it does make me feel less alone. So I was diagnosed w/ blighted ovum. Meaning the gestational sac and placenta was growing inside of me (the ultrasound showed it was indeed around 7 weeks along) but the baby stopped developing and was reabsorbed into my uterus. Problem is, the placenta is responsible for pregnancy symptoms, so my body still thinks it is pregnant, but there is no longer a baby or embryo. So, until I actually miscarry the tissue, I will feel pregnant. I don't know how to explain how I've been feeling the past few weeks. At first I thought it was just my uneasy feelings of this pregnancy being "unplanned" and so close to my previous pregnancy. It took me a wh...

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...
