Wow! Where did time go?

I just realized (not really-:) ) that in about a month- Jake could be here!! I am 35 weeks and a couple of days pregnant my weekly doctor appointments start next week!! I've been feeling a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions and some pressure- so hopefully Jake will want to be early! As exciting as it would be to have a fourth of July baby- I'd rather have a Father's Day baby instead!! There's still soo much to do- washing all the clothes and bottles (that hopefully won't get too used), put together the pack n play, crib and bassinet, clean the house, and get his room together. I'm sure there's still plenty of stuff we still need but I can't remember everything that we really did use with Jeffrey!!!

Jeffrey is VERY excited about Jake coming- he can't wait to be a big brother! He's ready to share his toys with him- (I doubt that tho) and he wants to help change diapers, and rock him and sing him lullabies. It's so cute to hear him talk about his little brother and the things he wants to do with him!

I'm very nervous about Jake coming- I feel like I have forgotten everything there is to know about newborns and taking care of them. I'm worried about sharing my love between them and FEAR having a favortism to one over the other and not realize it's going on- So many fears going on that I don't remember having with Jeffrey- I hope I don't become one of those "overprotective" first time moms- the second time around!! I was so laid back with Jeffrey- so hopefully that continues!

Finally!!

Jeffrey is officially potty trained!!! He's hasn't had a daytime accident in over a week and that was because we didn't get him to a bathroom fast enough! We let him go a week with just daytime training then the 2nd week we let him try night time training and his first night he stayed dry!! There was only one night last week that he didn't stay dry and he fell asleep at like 7PM... and didn't go to the bathroom before bed because he fell asleep in the car.

He no longer wears pullups or diapers- we got rid of most of them- I kept a handful to keep around for when our friends come over that need them and his little boxer briefs are just the cutest little things!! Also, he is peeing like a big boy- he likes to "stand up like daddy" excpet now he wants to poop standing up (oh the conversations we have as parents).

It'll be nice to have that short little diaper free repreive!!
