We are getting there!!

Last night when Matt went to kiss Emma good night she said "Daddy I have to go potty." Usually this consists of her sitting on the potty with nothing happening, but not last night. She went potty!! Then I went in to say goodnight to her and she said "Mommy I have to go potty." Once again, she pottied on the potty. I was so proud of her. Matt and I hooped and hollared in excitment for her. I told her "Mommy is so proud of you Emma." Her reply was "I'm so proud of you too Mommy." How cute is that!! So far this morning no pottying in the potty, but I'm gonna work on her. This shows me that she knows what it feels like when she has to go. Hopefully not much longer till we are potty trained!!!

My new cut.

Here is my new cut and color. You can't really see the color in the pic tho. I also straighten it sometimes, which gives a totally different look. If I think about it, I will post a pic of it straight sometime.

I'm in Love!!

Yep, you read right. I am totally head over heals in love.....with my husband!! Just in the past week or so, I have fallen in love with my husband all over again. We have really reconnected and it feels great!! I just don't know how my life could get any better. I have a fabulous husband, a beautiful daughter and a handsome son. My family is complete and it is perfect!! I can honestly say I can't remember ever being this happy before. Grant it, my wedding day was such a happy day and the days that I had my kids, but now it is all complete. It has all fallen together. My life is perfect and I couldn't be happier!! I just wanted to share that.

Getting with the program!

Okay, so I am finally starting to "get with the program". Don't get me wrong, I am still dead tired, but it is starting to get easier. My depression is easing up some and I'm starting to feel a little more like myself. I think Emma is settling back into her routine, but we are gonna be tweaking it a bit. I'm trying to get it so that she is asleep by 9, but I am having a hard time getting this done. I have already limited her nap during the day to an hour, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I'm not too sure what to try next, but I'm sure I'll think of something.

Tonight we have Monday Night supper out at Mom & Dad's. So I am looking forward to getting out of the house. Plus, it is a good home cooked meal that I don't have to cook. Tomorrow I am going and getting my hair cut and colored, I can't wait!! My hubby likes my hair long, but I'm sick of it always being in a ponytail and I don't want to wear it down due to the fact of burping Chase. He doesn't need to be eating my hair. So, it is gonna get cut....short!! Plus, I can't wait to have highlights. I don't think I've had highlights since a couple months after Emma was born. Maybe I'll post a before and after pic tomorrow.

Sleep

Well, Chase is a little over 2 weeks old now and is already getting bigger. He had his appt this past Tuesday. He has gained 8oz and grew 3/4 of an inch. He is still a super calm baby and pretty much sleeps a lot still. The only thing is that they aren't super long stretches, atleast not at night. I am running on fumes right now and am so glad it is the weekend so that Matt can help out. I would love to have just one day where I could sleep for however long I wanted. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow, I'm atleast gonna get a nap in!!
Emma is still doing good. She loves baby Chase and is constantly wanting to look at him and "pet" him. lol We are kinda at a stand still on potty training. I want to get back to feeling like myself before I add potty training to my plate. Once I am settled in and feeling good, I'm just gonna put her in panties and pray for the best. lol I am also trying to figure out a better schedule for her so that she isn't up till 10. I would love to have her asleep by no later than 9. So, the first thing I am trying is limiting her nap to 1 hour, which also takes time away from my nap too, but oh well. Plus, I think I am gonna try to be up and have her up by 8am. The only thing is, right now I am trying to find any possible moment for me to sleep and this new schedule is really gonna cut into that. Oh well, it will get better....eventually. I mean, Chase has to start sleeping longer stretches sometime, right? My doc said that he should start sleeping longer stretches around 6 weeks, if that is the case, I still have a month to go. UGH!!
Well, even tho it is already 10 and only 1 1/2 hours away till Emma's lunch, I'm gonna get breakfast. My days fly by now that I am feeding someone every 3 hours. But on the same hand they also drag, b/c I'm cooped up in the house all day. But today I just might venture out to my parents after nap. It will be a change of scenery and Emma loves it out there, plus I don't want to take Chase anywhere with a lot of people yet. So, off to breakfast for me.
