Potty Training!!

By -

If you would have asked me a few weeks ago how it was going I would have said lots of negative things, but I can now only say positive things, because they are doing GREAT!!
  
They have been slowly working on potty training since October (Slowly on purpose b/c they were still pretty young).  They started out well, then reverted a little with us and then a little bit with Maria.
I finally decided we were going to go full force so two Sundays ago we stopped wearing pull-ups!  I am seriously so proud of them and ourselves :o)  We all have really stuck with it and it is paying off!


Peeing in the potty is 95% trained, just need to solidify the nights and pooping...well pooping, is getting better.  They are still somewhat afraid of going on the toilet, but with the help of jelly beans we are getting there!!  I just hope they never stop making jelly beans, because they are quite the motivators :o)

It's a lot of work, but it never gets old screaming and clapping in pure excitement because they are so proud of themselves for peeing and pooping on the potty!!  And yes, I've been on the phone in public professing my joy of them pooping on the potty :o)

Great job boys, we are so proud of you!!!

It is with great pleasure to announce that I have completed my $1,000.00 Deal with my husband!  I got up with the boys on my own for at least 10 days and let him sleep and with that he offered me a $1,000.00!!  I may be exhausted out of my mind, but I am so excited to claim my prize and do some much needed pampering!! I'm sure you could imagine Rob's take on this whole thing...He doesn't believe it, won't believe but a deal is a deal so he better pay up!!  ha ha ha  I'm pretty sure he didn't think I could pull it off!!  Woohoo Go Me!!!

Highs & Lows of Surgery

Recovering after his surgery Thank you all for praying for Tyson, he is recovering great after a very long surgery Tuesday. Usually it takes a few days to close their chests back up after surgery, but his swelling was not too bad so, Dr. Nigro was able to close it on Wednesday, which is fantastic! He was doing really well with his breathing on the ventilator while trying to ween him off, that they decided to remove that Wednesday morning. After they removed it unfortnately, Tyson stopped breathing 5 different times within about 30-45 minutes after the ventilator was removed. The Nurses, Doctors and Respitory Therapists were still with him and were able to make him breathe again on his own after messing with and having to "bag" him. They believe that he still had the sedative medication in his blood stream and was not as awake enough. They gave him medication to reverse the effects of the sedative so that he would wake up which worked and he became stable. A few hours later

OH BELLY!!

Oh belly is right...well at least I think so!! We went to the OB on Monday and we're able to hear the heartbeats through the doppler and then the doctor and I started talking about the pregnancy and everything else and then the "weight talk" came up! I've only gained 5 1/2 lbs and she said she wants me to gain another 30 over the entire pregnancy...that seems like so much weight but I guess I have to remember there's two babies in this belly so I guess that's normal?! I wasn't planning on taking belly pictures because I just feel huge and not so cute, but I caved in and decided to take a few!! I'm going to have a friend take them for me but I was bugged and bugged to show it off now...so here they are. You may not think I'm getting big but I sure feel like I am!! I'm only 11 weeks but I feel huge!!
