SAVE THE DATE

Beanette's C-section has been scheduled and she is due to arrive April 28 at 12:15 pm. I am so happy to have a day and know when she will be joining us. It does add pressure to get everything done, but let the countdown begin!

I meant to post these pictures about uhhh, a month ago, but time has gotten away from me. Anywho- Mason has moved out of the highchair and into his booster seat. He loves being at the table! Meal time is a bit more messy as he know picks up the plate, tips it over, pushes away from the table, etc. But it's another marker that we are moving out of baby stage and more more into our toddler phase. He also loves to play at the table in his booster seat!






I had another ultrasound last week to check on Beanette. Since Mason was early, now that I am in my third trimester they will start to see me every two weeks to check my cervix and make sure she doesn't make an early appearance either. So far my cervix looks great and Beanette is weighing almost 3 lbs (76%), I could see her breathing on her own and as always she was too busy to stay still long enough for a decent picture. She is laying very low in my belly (which isn't a big deal) although it could put added pressure on my cervix. I go next week for my next checkup and Steve and Mason can come! (the hospital hasn't allowed children to come due to flu season but they are now letting loose a little) I am excited to have Steve and Mason see her- Steve hasn't seen or heard her since 20 weeks- Mason 16 weeks!

Needing a little privacy

When we went for Mason's 18th month appointment, our pediatrician suggested we get a potty, and have it around for about a month before trying to introduce Mason to it. His thought was that if the potty became a part of Mason's life, he would be less scared of it. So we bought a potty last weekend. Dr. G. suggested putting it in the living room with his toys, but Mason being the loader and unloader that he is, started to put toys in it, so we decided it would be best to bring the potty to the bathroom and have it there. Since I go ALL the time, we thought Mason could sit on it when I go. This has been working great- he sits fully clothed and waits for me to finish.


Today however, Mason was playing upstairs and I heard the bathroom door slam. He had shut himself in the bathroom- so I went to open the door and to my surprise this is what I found!

Not only was he sitting on the potty by himself, he was not happy that I interrupted his alone time. He quickly got up, and slam the door in my face.

When I opened it again, he was again sitting on the potty. I guess everyone needs some privacy!

PS. Sorry I have been slow to update. I am tired. Pretty much all the time. But we are working through it and I am learning to nap with Mason.
