Paci progress

I am so happy to say that Natalie is now over her paci!!! I got rid of it on Thursday and today she didn't cry over it once--the only time that she has cried for her paci is at bedtime/naptime with the longest crying spell was about 20 minutes. I am so relieved! I was so worried about how it would go. Now to get her into other big girl routines--such as not playing with her poop! If she poops during naptime she takes it off and then proceeds to play in it--today I heard her playing in her bed but wasn't listening to what she was saying and then she fell asleep..well I went in to peek on her this afternoon--and there was poop everywhere-thankfully it was contained in the crib but her hands were covered in dry poop......oh memories I will have to remind her of when she is older! I know that this is a semi-common problem with other children and I have heard of duct-taping the diaper which I probably need to do-but it is not often that she does it. Anyways, the doctor appointment went fine-I am almost 10 weeks along now-and go for my first ultrasound on July 31. This pregnancy has seemed so much more real to me I think because I know what to expect and it's not quite as surreal. I am so glad that I am 1/4 of the way through the pregnancy--I said that to Steven the other day and he was shocked at how little time he feels we have left--our two biggest things before baby #2 comes is to get a new vehicle for me--I think unfortunately I will be a 25 year old minivan mom-I swore I would never drive one-but Steven is very set on it and there are several advantages and to get Natalie into a big girl bed--we are waiting to find out what we are having to decide whether her new bedroom set should be a full or twin--if I did the twin I think I would want to get a trundle bed. Anyways, that's enough blabbing for now-just thought I would update everyone on the pacifier progress!

that is awesome - way to go Natalie. I am so glad that you are feeling well. We need to get together soon. Have missed you and can't wait to see you soon. Can you see a little belly bump yet?
