Finished work for the summer( teacher) and am excited to be home with DS and for the first trimester.

Here is DS dressed for a wedding last weekend.

So cute watermelonseed!!! We loved Penny as a name for DD but it would have been terrible with our last name.

maddisonrose how do I say this without creeping you out/losing friends hmmm... your husband is good looking!

lol rebeccabunch! I would have to agree maddisonrose!

[maddisonrose]

LOL rebeccabunch and stephne I don't mind. But definitely can't tell him or his ego will explode. He's still flying high from the other weekend when he was getting Mexican takeout and the bartender asked if he was single and looking to go out on a date!

I also am scared we might be team diapers for lyfe with DS. He has zero interest in using the potty beyond playing with the flusher

I'm trying to motivate myself to work today. I had several large deadlines on Monday that wrapped up some of my projects, but now the motivation to do projects that need to be finished in August is lacking.

dragonflyinn, did you use a specific method/incentive to potty train? We're just starting with our DD and are a bit clueless. Your DD is so cute with her backpack!

I read "oh Crap- potty training" (you can get on amazon) and basically followed that. It's similar to 3-day method except flexible & doesn't expect you would do it all in 3 days. It breaks it down into stages & you just move on to the next stage when they're ready. We didn't really need incentives since DD loves praise & doing things for herself-- once she realized she could be in control it got so easy & she really wanted to do it right. Feel free to ask me anything, we loved that book & a bunch of moms on my other BMB have used it and had success!

Haha thanks, she is a super ham so we can always get her to cheese for the camera!

I got my panorama results back. Low risk and it is boy!

dragonflyinn, Thanks! Ordering it from Amazon right now. I'm very ready to be done with pull-ups/diapers for DD.

+1 read this book. Followed it to a T. Worked very well for DS1. We trained right at 3.

DS2 is a totally different kid. I plan to train in August at 22 months. I'll report back on how it goes with my troublemaker.

ETA LOL not 22 months - 34 months!

Awh that stinks! I really like it and and it is actually a nod to my maiden name, too 😉

Names are SO hard. We are struggling with a girl name this time around

Yay for good ultrasounds and test results! We should get our Sneak Peek test back tomorrow. If I am being honest, I probably prefer another girl so we can reuse clothes but I know DH is dying for a boy.

This is us. At least this time around I'm not afraid to say what I want lol. He used to get his feelings really hurt with DD when I'd say how badly I wanted a girl...being a firstborn son he REALLY wanted to have a firstborn son too. But now that we have DD and he Loves being a girl dad, it doesn't bug him as much hahaha. He still would love a boy. I'd love a girl next so we could reuse clothes & then #3 could be a boy haha.

Thanks for the rec on that book, dragonflyinn. DS is 2 in August and I don't think he is ready/interested yet but I feel like I should do some research. I feel like maybe we'll try next spring break or so. I feel like it will be easier when it is warm out and we can spend a lot of time in the yard. 

[dragonflyinn]

amesie you are SO cute and I adore N of course. And I want that swimsuit for C!!!

I was so overwhelmed thinking about it & that book really helped.

I wouldn't say I'm intentionally potty training DD right now, but she's taken a sudden interest to being naked all the time and remembering to use the potty when she's naked over the last couple days. Last week DS was taking her to pee every time he went and she'd happily go with him and go lol. So I'm still half diapers, half naked baby, but I did order some underwear for her to see if that helps her remember too. It would be super exciting if she potty trained before baby is born! DS was a little over 2.5 when he took an interest to it and it didn't take too long, she just turned 2 earlier this month so I wasn't really thinking we'd focus on that yet.

this is exactly me too. DH would probably prefer a boy, but i secretly would love another girl just so I don't have to buy all new clothes! Haha. Plus I love having sisters and I want to give that to N. obviously I would love a boy too, but out of convenience I'm leaning for a girl

[maddisonrose]

amesie you and your dd are soooo cute! I wish my blump looked that cute

flippinchica yay congrats on both news!!

9+4 today so no bump in sight. I wish DS would potty train. He's gone poop on the potty a few times but never pee. And for the past month or so he had been flipping out when I put him on the potty so we stopped for awhile. I tried again last night and he sat for awhile and then pooped in his diaper when he got off. I usually ask him if he wants to go poop on the potty when he's obviously trying to poop and he always tells me no. It's still earlish at 22 months.

Here he is!

So many cute kids in this thread!

As for me, I'm feeling relieved! Even though I am now 24 DPO I can't stop peeing on tests. It just felt like such peace of mind watching them get darker each day. This morning's test was a bit fainter than the past few days and I started panicking, but I had a scheduled beta already today anyway and my number was 20,000 which they said was great. The doubling time was strong too and I got to schedule my first US for next week. Trying to tell myself NO MORE POAS.

I'm finding certain symptoms are showing up early this time. Mostly the "things shifting around" stuff like round ligament pain, sore abs, and even lying on my back, which causes my heart to pound sometimes. I didn't get any of that until WAY later last time. I hope that doesn't mean I'm in for a more uncomfortable pregnancy.

Yes, I knew I would find out soon so I was waiting till then

[benandjerrys]

We tried a few months ago with oh crap dragonflyinn. I loved the method but it was a huge fail for us. I plan on trying it again in a few weeks after she turns 2.

Eta: there is an oh crap Facebook group which I have found helpful as well. The author is available for phone consultation which I did. $20 for 10 min or so.

Also it is available on audible if you don't have time to read the hard copy.
