I am so afraid of potty training. DD pulls down her pants and knocks on the bathroom door. But when I put her on the potty, she just sits there. How do you get them to understand what the toilet is for? I let her watch me go but other than that, I'm at a loss.
Are you secretly my older sister? Her daughter had the same issues and the ultrasound came back negative.
UTis make me nervous to start potty training W but we are biting the bullet and going with it this weekend. I'm thinking of wrapping the couch in plastic like on Mama's Family.
it's so weird. They sit in diapers full of poop for years, and never get a UTI. Then they use the toilet, and are no longer sitting in waste....and then they happen? If you need any.pointers with PT, let me know. It's nice to be done!
lilyelayne I felt a bit groggy this morning, but I wonder if that's because I actually got sleep. I feel fine now after being up for a bit. I stay at home and don't have to rush to get anything done first thing in the morning, so it didn't bother me too much.
cougarette Good luck today on your first day back!
I also have hot flash type symptoms nursing. Sucky feeling for sure.
I think we're hitting sleep regression early. DD has slept like a dream since 4 weeks. This week she's been getting progressively worse at the sleeping thing. I feel bad for her because she is into the overtired cycle now. It doesn't help today that we have landscapers here making some extra noise. I am so thankful she hasn't been sleeping like this all along, and you mamas that have had nonstop rough nights have my total respect.

We got DS a book about using the potty. Seeing the visual in a book and coming to the bathroom with us really helped it "click" for him.

This is s good start. We were in this stage forever. She's only two, right? Or is she two yet?
She's 19 months. She knows when she's going. She just seems like she really wants to learn. And she likes sitting on the potty.
I just want to shove bagels and diet coke in my mouth and do nothing today. I really really need to find a new pair of jeans that fit (I feel like I can't get away with only wearing yoga pants for much longer). Bagels sound better.
We are just hanging out around the house this morning. DH actually is taking a day off from studying this afternoon (rarely happens) and my best friend from college is coming to town for her wedding this weekend. In other news, I think I am mean. Actually, I'm definitely mean, especially to my poor DH. I can't figure out if it is a PP issue (10.5 weeks out would PP hormones still be a "thing"?), ragey side effects from the minipill, or something else. I am contemplating a different method of birth control. I used to have Paraguard (copper IUD), but I don't want to go through the insertion considering we would like our children to be relatively close in age (18 months or so).
misshart00--yes, I definitely get hot flashes while breastfeeding!
I have the anger/mean problem too. I think a big factor was the mini pill I was on.

Just sitting happens at home for us but actual action has occurred about 3-4 times at daycare. I figure we give it a go this weekend and see how she does. I don't image we will have great success but I want to at least try. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.
mumomma13, I've been so mean too. Really only to my H. I hate it and I'm trying to catch myself before I think or say something negative. It's been getting better since I've been trying harder to stop it but I wish I didn't have to put effort into being nice/normal. I'm also on the mini pill.

Did you switch to a different type of pill? I am BF, so it has to be a pill with only progesterone (I think?).
I switched 4 days ago so I don't know if it has done anything yet. I'm also BFing, but my doc put me on a super low dose estrogen pill. She said it may cause my supply to take a hit, but I'm pumping 10 ounces a sitting so it's okay if it drops some.
I was on a different brand of mini pill after my first was born and I didn't seem to have the anger issues. But I also got pregnant on it.

Yes it was lilyelayne. They were actually really nice. I guess the application was to keep all the creeps and weirdos from finding out where they meet.

Probably not a bad safety precaution when kids are involved. Glad you enjoyed it!
Re potty training: norah is 28 months and I'm hoping she'll just get it as she gets older. She'll go on the potty only if I catch her with "the look" on her face. She doesn't seem to get the tell me BEFORE you have to go. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. A co-worker said something I think about now: there are no 13 year olds walking around with diapers.
Re birth control. I'm on the pill but my H doesn't trust it so we use condoms too Isn't that weird? I feel like it's a waste to be on bc pills then...
We've considered this since I got pregnant on the pill last time. But we've only ever tried a condom once and both of us hated it.
It's not my fav either. But I'm pretty sure we're two and through and if it's what we decide for sure after a few years, Hubby is getting snipped! Yay!

Work was actually pretty great. It was nice to see everyone and laugh with the developers. Pumping sucks, but it won't last forever.
DS had a good day too. I indicated that I wanted him to only nap in the crib, but they said everytime they set him down he'd wake back up. They let him nap in the swing and bouncy chair (which I'm OK with, I'd rather he sleep).
They asked for suggestions, but I'm not sure what to say. I usually have to put him down very asleep, but I doubt they have time to be rocking him for that long. I was hoping they'd have suggestions for me, haha! Maybe I'll tell them to try and make sure he's good and asleep, rock him a little longer, but if he wakes up then the swing, etc is fine. What do yall think?
