9 weeks and Maya will be here. I have a scheduled c-section for August 4th. Though, I am nervous because random people keep telling me that I look bigger and were surprised that I wasn't due sooner.
I'm so excited, Gwen is throwing me a "sprinkle" next weekend. Since I have already had a baby "shower" for the boys, she's doing a sprinkle for Maya. It's so exciting celebrating her arrival with friends. Knowing Gwen, Maya is going to get SO spoiled. Gwen came over the other day to see what I had for Maya and what I needed. So, I showed her the onsies that I had from the boys that I was planning on using. It was so funny because most of them were blue with cars and airplanes or very boyish. Gwen wasn't having any of that!
We started (sorta) potty training. I originally bought a potty for the boys but it didn't have the shield thingy on the front so they could sit and pee. They both would stand and go, but I decided that I want to train them sitting. I bought a new Elmo potty today. Adam was a little scared sitting on it. Jack on the other hand didn't have to pee but he sure was trying. He squeezed and hard as he could, but nothing came out. It was so funny. I'm going to put M&M's in a jar in the bathroom and every time they go give them some treats and really make a big deal about it. I'm not ambitiously training but decided just throughout the day ask them if they have to go, then put them on it and see what happens. I'm sure I'll have funny stories to tell soon about our potty adventures.
Jack has been all about hiding and hoarding stuff lately. He will sneak in his bedroom and take all of the babies off Adam's bed and put them on his. That's what the picture is about above. Then I went to make his bed, and Jack had so many toy cars and random stuff hidden under his pillow. It's cute, but a little scary. I just don't want him to get a hold of my car keys or wallet!
Adam has been using his words a little more. A couple weeks ago, everything was "what's that?" All day long he would pick random items up and ask "what's that". He said it so much that it eventually sounded like "sat?" Now he'll actually say what things are. Of course, now I'm asking him all day long "what's that?"
Today we had a change of dominance. As most of you know, my 15 pound cat, Baxter, has total control over my 60 pound dog, Lola. Most days, Baxter will walk up to Lola and bite her legs while she's sleeping or kick Lola out of her doggy bed. Lola is scared and skiddish around him. Today, Lola decided she has had it. Baxter came up to Lola while she was laying down and Lola aggressively jumped at him and bit his head. I didn't see it, but Chad did. Chad checked Baxter and he was fine, just scared. I'd usually freak out about Lola doing something like that, but I really don't blame her. About an hour later they were back to their old selves, Baxter was slowly walking by Lola and Lola sniffed his butt. Ahhh, back to normal.
