Maybe Next Time

This morning my daughter got to wear her Elmo underwear to see how long she could keep them dry and clean. To my surprise she did quite well until her favorite person came over. Yup once her cousin came over her underwear were wet. Know I'm hoping she just forgot to tell me she needed to go potty and it wasn't she just got too excited to control herself. I'm pretty sure it was the first reason, at least I hope so. Maybe next time she'll be able to do it.

Good Help is Hard to Find

So yesterday when I was doing laundry my daughter and niece decided to "help" me. And by help I mean throw the clothes all over the floor and while I pick up the thrown clothes they unfold all the ones I've already folded. Anyways, my daughter found a pair of underwear and decided they would fit her. She put them on over her diaper and ran around the house with them dangling by her ankles. I think she may be ready for her own underwear. What do you think?

sleep

I would like to thank my new baby boy for giving me the gift of sleep last night. He ate at 9pm then went to bed at 10pm and didn't wake up until 3:30am to eat, then went straight back to sleep and didn't wake up until 8:30! For those who have had kids you know this is a huge accomplishment! I'm so proud. It's amazing how something so small can make such a big difference! I have the best baby ever! ( i love my daughter too, but she always lets me sleep.)

Milestones

Brace yourselves for the most amazing thing my little girl has ever done. She can snap her fingers. So really its not the most amazing thing ever nor do I think it makes her smarter, really I just think it's cool because I couldn't do that until I was 10. It is now her favorite thing to do and she is constantly reminding me how much I snap my fingers at her because now she does the same thing to me. I guess I had it coming to me.

Thanks

This post is dedicated to my favorite sister and my boy's favorite aunt, Bethy. Before anyone else gets up in arms hang on. Without her I wouldn't have been able to see another fabulous ob that was already full, and have gone full term in my pregnancy, been treated better than anyone else at the hospital, and have full confidence that my baby would be delivered safely. Plus a whole bunch of other things I won't mention specifically. So thanks, you made this the best pregnancy and delivery ever! You are a fantastic doctor and even better sister!

Denim

So I have a lot of funny stories from my labor experience. Well really I think this one is the best. Right before I was ready to push my ob asked if my husband and I had a name picked out. We told her we did and that it was Devin. She some how misheard us and said, "Denim, oh OK." We quickly corrected her but told her she did a great job keeping a straight face and not telling us it's the dumbest name she's ever heard. My doctor then told us that she's heard so many weird names while practicing Denim actually sounds pretty good. I still think Devin is better.
