Although I have been rather lax on my posting I thought this warranted a post even if it is kind of old news. I’m knocked up J  My due date is October 30, though after the gong show of Amelia’s delivery this time I am being pre-scheduled for a c-section, woop woop! It is all book in our calendars, Oct 17^th child removal, Oct 18^th start of the sleepless nights, fun fun! 

Amelia is somewhat excited; she has named the mystery thing in my tummy that makes me feel like hell “Jellybean Smartie”. Although she usually refers to it as a “he”, if asked she is rather adamant that it is to be a girl. I felt pretty horrible for the first trimester but now I am getting over it though I still have wicked headaches.  I felt like abit of a delinquent mom yesterday when I was sitting on the stair messaging my temples and then I popped a couple Tylenol, Amelia came and sat beside me and put her hand on my leg and asked “ Mommy, is Jellybean Smartie making your head hurt again?”.

Amelia is doing well though the transition to “school” has been abit hard on all of us. I think it has been a big adjustment for Amelia and she has become much more attached to Hank (her blanket), she used to have him when she went to bed but now he is getting dragged around the house and even makes it into the car (though there is still a firm no Hank during meals or out in public). These days she demands much more snuggle time with us which I think is because she isn’t getting all the snuggles that she used to get at Heather’s L

In other news Amelia is pretty much accident free these days and she is in underwear fulltime during the day, woop woop. We started trying to potty train her a long time ago but it was abit of a disaster, and she got frustrated and stubborn about it. For the last 4 or 5 months we had pretty much put it on the backburner and would take her to the potty when she wanted but we didn’t harass her. Then shortly after she started school I was talking to her teacher and I explained what had happened when we tried potty training last time and she said well if you want to bring in underwear we can try them out during the day. We did that and we haven’t really looked back, she had one day with two accidents at school and has had a couple accidents at home but other than that she has been really good. I guess there is defiantly something too “they will do it when they are ready”.
