15 Weeks and 5 Days

Further PT Update: I had to get back on here, Luke redeemed himself tonight from the poop accident! Literally minutes after I posted this, I heard the potty music. I figured he was playing in there, but sure enough, he went all on his own and he was using a kleenex to wipe the toilet seat...LOL!

PT Update: I was going to avoid posting about potty training for a bit, BUT I can't help but be bursting with pride! Luke has been nearly-accident free since Tuesday. He had an accident this morning, but we truly believe it was in spite! Wally wouldn't give him a muffin so he literally peed right in front of him (yes, that is what we are dealing with with this feisty little 2-year old these days). And tonight, he pooped in his underwear. But, let's not focus on that right now because he truly is doing awesome! Luke hasn't had a SINGLE accident at daycare and he has pooped on the potty there and once at home! He really understands that he needs to hold his pee until he gets to the potty. Poop we nearly have, but I know that can take a bit. He has stayed completely dry at naptime all week too. In fact today, they didn't put a diaper on him at naptime and he literally ran to the potty the second he woke up! He has been nearly dry at night too (we got rid of the pull-ups and are just using diapers now). I am so proud of him and those first two days of hell were worth it!

Onto other things!

I am now 15 weeks and 5 days pregnant! It's hard to believe I am that far along already. I honestly feel great. I actually forget from time to time that I am pregnant, thank goodness for the growing mid-section to remind me :)

I had my most recent appointment last Wednesday. This was the first appointment that Wally was able to attend with me so he was pretty excited to hear the heartbeat. It is always so nerve-wracking for me the second my doctor puts the doppler on my belly...and then I hear the heartbeat and all is perfect in the world. There truly isn't a better sound! And this baby's heartbeat was strong and FAST!!!

Everything is going smoothly so far. My next appointment is February 12th and then we will get to schedule our anatomy scan for around 20 weeks, which is the halfway point - crazy! Just in case you didn't know, we won't be finding out the sex again (sorry Mom!). We love the surprise and hearing the words "It's a _____!" We have a gender neutral baby room all ready to go and will be moving Luke to his new big boy bedroom hopefully in the Spring sometime!

Here are some pics of my progressing baby bump :)




15 weeks and 3 days - this isn't the best picture. My eyes look a little miserable. This was taken Tuesday morning when I thought I was well enough to go to work and ended up being miserably sick for the past 3 days. I will try for a better belly shot this weekend!
