Random Thoughts for Friday...

  • I just ate a taco at 10:30 this morning....I'm thinking like brunch? Weird!
  • Had my 11 week Dr. appt. Wed., no heartbeat heard, but I had an ultrasound by LeeAnn a few weeks ago & the heartbeat was 171 beats per minute. Doesn't that seem awfully high!? Maybe it was just that fact that I was only about 9 weeks....I dunno, just seems high to me. Still feeling nauseous, still on Zofran, still hoping it goes away REAL soon!
  • SO wishing I had first floor laundry.... I HATE having to go into our dingy basement to do laundry, I think that's one of the main reasons I always put it off, I have to go up 3 flights of stairs to get the laundry to the bedrooms.....hate that! Our next home WILL, I repeat will have first floor laundry, and if by some chance it's not on the first floor the laundry room will be NICE ....tiled, cabinets, clean/fresh/new, some place I actually won't mind spending 90% of my day (when it's laundry day...KWIM?)
  • I can't believe it's already July...the 4th of July tomorrow! What the heck, where did summer go?? Getting excited for our Mackinac & Curtis trip in a few weeks.... firt stop Mackinac McGowan Family reunion, next stop the U.P for my families vacation on Lake Manistique.... by FAR the highlight of my summer, year after year!
  • I have a graduate class/workshop next week.... ALL day long 8:30-5:00, 3 credits & $500 & some dollars later, not bad for a week long 3 credit class though! MUST finish these classes to get my "Professional (instead of Provisional) Teaching Certificate". It should be fairly easy as well, that will bring my grand total to 9 credits....WOW, a whooping 9 credits, oh well I figure it's a start to finish the 36 total credits right?? It's something :)
  • PLEASE pray for me & my potty training wows, I'm doing the cold turkey, NO DIAPER method this weekend. I've simply got a little boy, who doesn't have much interest in it, so now it's time for some force to the issue.....I've been reading these different theories & methods, but I know for Donnie it's just gonna take the "cold turkey method" (as I call it!)
  • Excited for a friend who will be meeting there new baby boy next week....via open adoption, baby boy #2 congrats!!
  • Wanting to organize my closets upstairs, mine & the boys mainly. I seriously need help, I need an organizational specialist to come over & just work some magic, my closets have turned into this horrible clutter of a mess, a HOT mess I tell ya! I need to get motivated and just DE-CLUTTER & good will stuff....stuff that we DON'T need, ugh! I hate having clutter! Am I nesting already??
  • Trying to figure out what to do with Nolan and bedrooms and what to use for him now (or in Jan. when baby comes) a bed, a crib, should I buy a new cheap twin bed for him? Use our guest room queen for the time being? Keep him in his crib for a while?
  • What in the world am I making for dinner tonight?? Hmmmm?

Hey the heartbeat at 171bpm is within the normal limits. :) You might still be too early to hear it by the doppler in the office still. If you want to come in tonight, you can. :)
Also, We did the cold turkey method with Lukas and it worked great! But you do need time to get the habit worked into him. And once you take that diaper off, NEVER put it back on! It took Lukas exactly 2 weeks to be able to tell us that he has to go potty, BEFORE he actually goes in his pants. So lots of messes and hard days for those two weeks, but once we hit the two week mark, it was habit for him! And it was exactly a week after that when he was able to tell us before he pooped in his pants. So make sure you have patience with it for a few weeks. They say you have to do something 21 times before it becomes a habit. So just think about 21 accidents you will have to go through before he tells you. Hopefully sooner, since he is older than when we trained Lukas. Good Luck with it!!

That's pretty normal - I just looked it up and Callie's heartbeat was 166 at 14 weeks and Morgan's was 160 at 10.5 weeks.

Good luck with the potty training - Morgan has been day trained since 28 months but he still wears pull ups at night. I don't know how we will ever escape those, he sleeps SO deeply!

A taco at 10:30 am, that is funny. High heart rate means girl, right? G's was 170 or right around there. Potty training. I tried the one day methos last Friday and it was a disaster.
