Yay for Pee Pee! Today for the first time Kinsley (my 25 month old daughter) went pee pee on the potty for the first time! If you could only see the silly dancing that came from my husband and I after! LOL. We have had her potty for a while now, but with so much going on we haven’t really pushed the training into high gear. But today when I told her that I had to potty (which seems to be about every 10 minutes nowadays) she asked if she could come too. So half expecting her to just watch me like usual we headed to the bathroom. Once we got there she asked if she could try too. I was caught so off-guard. After yelling to Kyle, he brought her her little pink potty that so far had done nothing but act as a hiding spot for various toys. I removed her shorts and diaper, she sat down, and I sat down, and… both began to pee!! The look on her face was priceless, she was very clearly proud of herself for going, and we were beyond proud of her.

Was something wrong with me? The baby?  After only a few minutes the Dr. came in. First she checked the baby’s heartbeat with the doppler, that was good. Ok, one thing down. Then she checked to see where my uterus was.

This has been such a crazy week, and its only Wednesday! On Monday I had my 25 week check up with Dr. Jones, or so I thought. After my husband taking time away from work, and meeting me there so he could entertain Kinsley I was told that I had gotten my days mixed up and my appointment was on Tuesday. Ahh… Thankfully the great girls there were able to squeeze me in so that I was still able to see the Dr, and hadn’t wasted half of the morning getting myself and Kins ready and across town to an appointment that didn’t exist. After waiting only a few more minutes I was in with Dr. Lyncourt. I have seen all of the Dr’s at the office with either this pregnancy or with Kinsley, and Dr.
