Life's Greatest Blessing

Yesterday I mentioned how I've had major bloat going on in the last week. I can't even believe the difference in my belly after just a week. I've heard that you show faster with your second pregnancy and I guess I'm no exception, see for yourself! The picture on the left was taken last Monday, a day after getting a BFP. The one on the right is today, a week later.

Compared to 14 weeks with Parker

So yeah...I'm showing early...really early. But whatevs! I'm ok with that. I actually lost a pound last week and hope to keep losing by making smart food choices. I'm convinced that I can still eat the amount needed for Button and I to be healthy and still lose or at least maintain. Anyway that's a conversation for me and Dr. S to have next month.

In other news, my child has decided he doesn't like diapers anymore. He pulls his pants down, removes his diaper and runs around naked. He also has been asking to "Sit da potty" so my sweet father and step-momma in law got Parker an Elmo potty chair. It has been 2 days and he's gone tee-tee twice! he gets a mini oreo cookie when he goes on the potty.

I want to thank Allison from O My Family for the post about Elmo's potty song, we watch 2 or 3 times each time he "Sits da potty" it helps him hold still and take care of business, while telling him that it's "potty time"

I know we're not ready for big boy undies yet but I'm planning on getting some training undies and taking a weekend to see how he does when he can see how an accident feels. 

Anyone else preggers? Showing at the rate of Bella Cullen? Anyone thinking about potty training or in the process of potty training? I'm open to tips on anything from great foods for pregnant ladies and keeping my kiddo focused on the job at hand (doing his business on the potty).
