Well hello there!

It's been awhile. A month a few days to be exact. We've been in potty training land for the last month and it's been going well. That is, except for good ol' #2. Bubbie has become a master at not pooping, so much so that he's constipated himself to holy hell. It pretty much sucks.

We've been trying everything to get him to go when he feels the urge, but due to that stubborn streak (I blame B) he refuses. Then it hurts to go when he finally does, which causes him to not want to go. Good times.

He's doing great peeing in the potty, but refuses to use anything but our travel potty when we are out of the house - even at the grandparents' house! That potty has saved us many times already though and I totally recommend it to anyone who is the bowels (haha) of potty training. My only complaint is that it's not really made for a little boy to sit on to pee - the seat is oval enough, if you know what I mean. You really have to be ready to push him down or you are going to get a golden shower. But, he'll eventually be standing to pee and we can just have him go on bush like a grown man so it won't be an issue. Lovely thought.

As for baby #2, we've picked a name and started straightening up Bubbie's old nursery. I still have to come up with a nickname for him. Baby #2 just doesn't roll off the tongue. We have another ultrasound in October just to check on some cysts that the doctor saw. He's not concerned about them and told us that the second ultrasound will just be a bonus one. I also have my lovely glucose test in a couple of weeks which I'm hoping I pass this time around. I ended up doing the 3 hour one with Bubbie. I think it's because I ate a bunch of grapes before the 1 hour test....at least that's what I'm claiming the problem was.

Other than that, it's been the same old stuff, just different days here in the Bubbie household. We've become hermits as of late due to the fact that it's over 100 degrees outside in what is basically the reclaimed desert. So power on A/C! I'll be happy to pay that horrid bill when it comes just so I can bask in the glory that is central air.

Hope you're all having a lovely summer!
