Analisa (23 month tomorrow)
33 weeks pregnant with Abriella


~Analisa~

Well, first off, I thought we were ready for potty training. I caught Ana wiping herself after she had taken off her poopy diaper. I walked in her room and there she was diaper off and she had gotten her wipes down and was wiping herself! So I thought OK, maybe this is it. So I went out and bought some of the Gerber stage B training pants. So while at home we keep those on. But when we go out or at bedtime we put on a diaper. She has only gone potty on her potty chair once. But I am hoping that with having the training pants on, she will become more aware of herself going.

Her new thing that she loves is showers. When she was a baby I use to bring her in the shower with me. I found it a little easier then the baby tub, which I didn’t like. Since, she would occasionally want to come in with me, and that was too hard to try and get my stuff done while she was in there. So after she came in from playing in the sand I put her in the shower by herself. And she loved it. So now, she sees me getting out and she wants her turn. She will just stand there under the water. She loves it. And I have to admit that it is a bit easier then leaning over a tub with this huge belly.

~Pregnancy~

I have about 6 ½ weeks to go. I am up so much at night. I hate this part. Why can’t we get our sleep now, because we know we won’t be getting it after the baby arrives. Anyways, besides waking up all night due to having to go to the bathroom and being uncomfortable, I am doing ok. I have an appt next Wednesday.
I was thinking it would be fun to put together a guessing chart/poll type of thing for the baby. I was told by 2 U/Ss that it is a girl. But I thought it would be fun to make guesses on the arrival dates, weight, & height. Is there anything else I am missing? So please post on my TTM board your guesses and we will see who comes closest!
Here are Ana’s stats:
Here due date was 10/12/01
She arrived 10/13/01
8lbs 5oz 21 ½ “ long

~TV~

As a couple of the other MT writers, I too love reality TV. I completely agree that on Paradise Hotel, “the originals” have got to go. I have never seen so many immature people on one show. Big Brother, as much as she annoys me, I am hoping that Alison will win, because I think she has played the best. Temptation Island, this show is so nerve wracking, how can they go through this. Survivor, I can not wait to watch how these people will survive with one outfit and no supplies. It should be interesting.
My ABC soaps: I am happy to say that Emily is not dying! Now, if we can just let Zander down easily, she can be with her true love.

~High School Reunion~

Tomorrow night is my 10 year high school reunion. I am really looking forward to this. However, I am a bit worried about the turnout. The organization that put this together was not too on top of things. The invites were only mailed out 3 weeks in advance. But I know a bunch that will be there. So it should be interesting.

~TTM~

Any potty training tips?
Do you have anything to say on reality tv or soaps?
And don’t forget to post your guesses for the baby?

Have a great weekend!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who lost loved ones on 9/11/01.
May those heroes rest in peace!
