kiddos and preggo update

Look at that sweet smile, could you ever believe she is a major drama queen/dad manipulator? Hadley loves the camera, only if she gets to look at the picture right after you take it AND she loves to be the one taking the picture. Can't tell you how many times this week I found my camera in an odd place with some crazy pictures on it.

Going to the bathroom is a sibling event. Whenever she realizes Hayden is going potty she joins in. Mostly trying to help him put his underwear back on. She comes to me all the time she wants to sit on the potty. But out of the 50 times she has sat on the potty (on her own will) she has only actually found a surprises in there once. I think she just wants to be like the rest of the fam.

This is her pushing face! K, so here is my funny story this week. Got home from a long and hot stroller ride. I was more than in need of a shower. So I hit shower, I can hear the kids playing outside the door for awhile and than...silence. So I hurry and finish up to investigate. Than Hadley walks in saying "yucky mom, yucky" I noticed what I thought was a smooshed raisin from the stroller ride on her shirt and hands so I follow her lead to the kids bathroom. I walk into Hayden next to the potty with poop all over his shirt, hands, toilet seat and floor with his pants and underwear in the garbage. Hayden looks up at me like deer in head lights and says " I cleaning it mom, see I cleaning it with toilet paper." He had started to go and than hopped on the toilet made a mess on the seat and he and Hadley had tried to clean up the mess by spreading it around the seat with toilet paper. So no it was not a raisin on Hadley's shirt. A huge mess! But so hard not to laugh. Hayden is totally potty trained and it's very rare to have an accident. He even stays dry during naps but night time is another story. I tried a sticker chart to motivate him for a new toy but after a few nights he lost interest, which makes me think he CAN stay dry but he is to lazy to get out of bed at night. Any suggestions that worked for you and your kiddos night training?

Here is a 20 week picture of baby #3. This pregnancy has definitely took it toll. As I look back now I think I was in a depression along with the morning sickness the first 16 weeks. Gaining weight so fast with no energy to do anything about it really got to me. It just sucks to work so hard to loose weight from Hadley (the biggest I had ever been!) and see it come all back so quickly. I am learning to embrace my new figure and hope I have the ambition to loose it all again. The hormones have definitely come into play the last few weeks. Lets just say I made it the first half of pregnancy but I don't know if my husband will make it the last half. He deals with my emotions pretty well, but I can be a wreck within a snap of a finger!

Hayden asks to make cake for dinner and cookies for breakfast all the time. If you ask him what time it is 80% of the time his response it "ice cream time!" He has a big sugar tooth but not really. He never finishes what he starts. Hadley on the other hand. Eats her's within seconds and than hits up mom or dad and when thats gone she goes to finish up what ever treat Hayden has left.

Look how big my baby is! When I had Hadley it felt like I remembered everything about babies and things came back so quickly when she was born. Now It seems crazy to think a little baby will be joining us and I have forgotten all my little tricks!
