The Cushy Tushy!!

Mommy decided that it was time to really try and potty train Hailey, so we hopped in the car and headed to Wal-Mart. What we found is 'The Cushy Tushy!' When we got home and set it up Hailey got on and sat, and sat, and sat. She sat on it from about 2:30 - 6:00, and never went even a drop. By that time she was pretty sick of sitting and wanted to get off but I wouldn't let her. She looked up and me, with a scowl, and said very matter of fact, 'Take it back to the store.' And I said, 'Don't you want a treat?' And she said, 'No, take it back to the store!' I couldn't believe it! But... we didn't give up and finally, at about 9:30 that night, she went! Boy was she proud!! *I love you Hailey, I'm so proud of you!

Summer Fun!

Yesterday, Daddy went and bought the girls a new swimming pool! After we blew it up, which took FOREVER, we took it outside and filled it up. WOW!! The girls had so much fun. They splashed and played for hours. Thanks Daddy!!

Holy Crap!!

Me and my neighbor decided that we needed a date with our husbands so we talked earlier this week and planned that we would trade babysitting. She has two little girls and so do I. Perfect. I was to take her girls Friday and she would take mine Saturday.
So today she brought them over and as she was leaving she says,.... "----- needs to go to the bathroom. Just make sure she flushes and washes her hands. " So I do and all is fine.
Then about 5 mins. later I notice that someone is in the bathroom. I knock on the door. No answer. So I open the door.... and that's when the smell hits my pregnant nose. POOP!
I open the door the rest of the way and find, poop on the floor, poop ON (not in) the the toilet, and worst of all, poop all over the little girls hands and feet!! Yes, I said feet. So I striped her down and let her shower herself while I put her clothes in the washer. I'm laughing about it now but I can tell you, it's a good thing I'm a Mom in the first place or I think I would have thrown up! I am still not really sure how she managed to get it everywhere but IN the toilet, but she did.

Our Baby!!!

Today we had our first prenatal doctors visit! We had the girls come with us, and we thought that we were only going to be able to hear the heart beat, but.... my doctor surprised us when she told us that she likes to do an ultra sound in the first trimester so that they can, more accurately, determine how for along you are. (I guess that's important so that they can do the proper tests at the right time.) We were so excited!! The girls thought that it was so cool. When we were done, Ashlynn was sulking. Anthony asked her what was wrong and she told him that she wanted the baby out NOW! It was pretty tough trying to explain to a four year old, why the baby couldn't come out now. I tried to explain to her that the baby would be smaller than her barbies baby, and that it would die because it was to small. I think she KIND OF understood after that because then she wanted to know HOW the baby grows. She's such a curious child!
We will find out what we're having on Aug. 19! Yeah!! Overall everything is going good. Our Doctor told us that we have a very active baby and that because we could SEE the heart beating, it drops the chances of a miss carriage from 40% to 1%. That's very nice to know because you could see its little heart just a pumpin'. The baby was also raising it's hand up and down. The Doctor told the girls that the baby was waving at them, but i think it was sucking it's thumb!! It was all so amazing! And,..... I haven't gained even 1 pound (for now) That's exciting because I'm trying to be careful this time. I DO NOT want to gain 50 pounds again, but if I did, it's all worth it!!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

For Father's Day the girls and I got up and cooked Anthony eggs & toast! The girls even got to butter the toast ALL by themselves! Boy was there a lot of butter!! Then we took it all in to Daddy,.. in bed! Lucky!! Later on, we decided to make Chocolate Chip Cookies for a treat. They turned out so good!! Happy Father's Day Honey, we love you!!
