32 Weeks

It's fun to compare now with my half way picture
I am feeling pretty good. Tired. But good. I love being pregnant, other than feeling huge at times, I also feel wonderful in so many ways.

We hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday remembering what this country stands for.

I'm Really Glad her "Drain" works

Ashby is potty trained. This isn't news, it has been several months now that we have been diaper free.
Most of the time when she needs to use the restroom we are alerted to the fact by her calling out (at all hours of the day and night) the she needs "help" The only help she needs is to be given toilet paper (an appropriate amount) so she can take care of business.
Well as usual, this afternoon she calls out for help.
I go into the bathroom to give her toilet paper, reminder to wash her hands and flush the toilet as is routine.
This time I kind of forgot about the routine.

Ashby: My drain works.
Me: What? Your drain works?
Ashby: Yeah, I'm glad my drain works. It held my potty in.
Me: So your "drain" holds your potty for you?
Ashby: Yes. So I don't have accidents
Me: Hmmm. I have a bladder that holds my potty. Do you have a bladder?
Ashby: No, just a drain.

I had to leave pretty quickly after that. I didn't want to laugh openly.
But I am really, really glad that her "drain" works.

We had a blast with a little help from our friends, the park and some water.

Kiddie Pool Glory

When Ashby was born 3 Junes ago my mom give us this little kiddie pool. At the time I remember thinking something like, "Cool. What do I use this for, I have an infant." But oh, the wisdom of a Grandma. It wasn't too long before we used it. I don't have photo documentation to prove it, but I'm pretty sure we tried it a couple times with our 3-4 month old and we have used it every summer since.
This year, however I think the Kiddie Pool is coming into it's own and reaching into the throws of toddler-hood Glory. We pumped it up about 2 weeks ago when the temperature was a unpleasant constant of 85 degrees plus. And since that day we havn't gone 2 days without using it at least once.
On a few occasions we have even had a very excited running around the house in her bathing suite at 8 AM in the morning!

It's not very big but so far neither Ashby nor any of her cute friends we've had over have minded. We look forward to a summer of many wet afternoons with friends. And a big thank you to Grandma Loveless for an inexpensive yet genius gift!

100 Days to Go!

We have just 100 short days until the excited arrival of our 2nd bundle of joy!

With a due date of September 6th we can't believe how quickly the date is coming. I know that when the heat of the summer hits I will find myself wishing the heat away, but I can't fool myself into thinking that the time won't fly by. Let's just hope that I am able to get done all I need to in the next 100 days!
