Potty Success

Jane has been doing a fabulous job learning to use the potty. We have very few accidents these days, but still have some to work on. She only informs us that she needs to potty after she has already had an accident so we still need to work on being able to tell us beforehand. I still have to watch the clock and take her to try. And we have only one time gone #2 in the potty and it just happened to occur at one of those "lets just try to potty" times I asked and she said she didn't need to go (I should know by now her answer will be no).
That being said-maybe, just maybe, we are turning a corner. Yesterday, she woke up from her nap without my knowing and went into the bathroom, moved the stepping stool to the toilet, pulled her tights and pull-up off (we had gone to church and lunch and I was being cautious), and went #2! I walked in to her having moved the stool over to the sink and washing her hands! YEA!! I called mom, dad, and Hyde in to praise her. I am so impressed!! I hope this continues!

Jane in a Fedora

I feel like this picture says so much about Jane. How can you not just love this little girl!?!

This picture is from a very warm day in August 2011.

Making a Note

Lately, there have been some things (phrases or mispronounced words by Jane, funny things she does, things I just don't want to forget, etc) that I have been meaning to make a note of:
Koozie Scoop = Cozy Coupe
Meemer=Mermaid (still)

No Time

I store this article from Lauren Garrity's blog:

Comparing the Belly: Wow!

Week 29: February 12, 2012


Week 29 with Jane: Around June 21, 2009

Month 8! Week 29

I can't believe we have already started our 8th month! My "week"

starts on a Saturday. Baby will be here before we know it! I am have

the smallest amount of anxiety about not having done anything to

prepare for him or her to arrive!

Week 28 I took my Gestational Diabetes test and had a good checkup.

Jane came with me and was an angel. She was able to hear the baby's

heartbeat and thought it was really cool. She felt like the baby was

talking to her. We go back and forth on Jane's feelings on and

understanding of the new baby and becoming a Big Sister. She is just

starting to pull up my shirt and look at my belly, poke at my belly

button and talk to my belly, but I instigate it. She doesn't just come

to me asking about baby.

I am getting more out of breath easily, especially carrying Jane

around and feel so much bigger this time around than with Jane. I am

still teaching between 3 and 6 yoga classes each week and occasionally

going to a new toning class. I've decided that I think I prefer being

pregnant during the warm months. I feel like the warmer months are

easier on you mentally. During the winter, you have to deal with

seasonal depression, being covered up (versus in shorts and

sundresses) and having no color/tan. It is frightening to see the

color of my legs! I tend to always put on weight in the winter and

having the pregnant excuse to eat is no help. This all may sound

crazy, but it is my thought. Anyways...

Still due April 28 and looking forward to welcoming a new little girl

or boy to the Carby family! We are still working on names...

PhotoBooth

Fun with the photobooth on the computer. Hyde was at the office
preparing for his trial on Tuesday and we wanted to say hello.
