What a day

and it's only just begun...
I just had a few annoyances this morning with work...which I will not get into because I'm sure everyone has opinions, and I don't feel like hearing them :) No offense of course!
My mood probably has a lot to do with the way I slept last night, actually probably with the way I've been sleeping. I forgot how bad you start to sleep while you're pregnant. You get pains when you roll over, you have to pee which means you have to get out of bed, which in turn causes more pains. I remember last time I was pregnant I heard the reason you sleep so bad is to prepare you for no sleep when you have the newborn at home. It made sense to me, but I have started taking sleep for granted again. All those nights AM has slept soundly for 12 hours....and now here we go again! I am being prepared because I am tired and I am definitely not sleeping well.
I am really looking forward to our trip, I saw yesterday that Fri and Sat are supposed to be 64 and 68 degrees. (side note...in a book they would put respectively there, but that always bothered me for some reason, anybody know anything about why they do that or how it started?). Anyway I think that will be great weather for SeaWorld and whatever else we do! Exciting!
And another thing I don't think I mentioned yet, I will be done working at the end of February...that is very exciting! I will get to start working more on our house and getting things ready for the baby..and potty training...ugh. (I'll take any suggestions!)

They put 'respectively' there because it's proper grammar. But you are pregnant so I'll forgive you the slip.

Love,

Potty training... WAIT!
I started Livi at 18 months and stressed about it for about 4 months. I thought she should be done when the baby comes... she was not ready. So, we changed it to her pace (I did this basically because Jeff was gone that summer and I was exhausted with a new baby and trying to potty train). She wore pull-ups (I tried panties, but got sick of cleaning my furniture) and we had a potty and a potty seat with a step stool. We had stickers and candy in the bathroom. We asked her occasionally, but never forced it. When she went we were very happy and rewarded her, but never punished accidents. Just when I thought it would never happen one day, at 2.5, she came out of her room buck-naked and handed me her pull-up and said "I don't need this anymore". She has only had a few accidents since (and they were usually our fault for not getting her to a bathroom soon enough). She even stays dry at night!
So, don't stress...
