lack of blogging

i have made an impressive lack of blogging this month. i feel like i have good reason too though. being pregnant kind of takes a toll on you in the beginning and although the morning sickness was mild compared to with emma taylor i also had to deal with a 3 week long sinus infection and emma taylor getting sick twice on either end of me being sick. well we are all well here now. so what's been going on and what's to come....

1. today i went to the gym! i think i might be the only mom who's child cries and screams when you pick her up (not when you drop her off) at child care. at least i know its only because they have really great toys and a room where you can jump and climb on everything. otherwise i think it would hurt my feelings.

2. i got emma taylor a free balloon from publix the other day. why have i not done this before? she was so proud of it until she walked past the rose bushes and popped it. then she was crushed. literally crushed. bawling at the death of her new friend. so today we went and got another balloon and steered clear of those mean rose bushes.

3. a good friend gave us a toddler bed with mattress and sheets! i am so thankful for our generous friends and that we won't have to buy an extra piece of furniture. we plan on transitioning emma taylor to the toddler bed soon...i think i am just dragging my feet at this point because i think it will make nap time harder, and she's not a great napper as is...any advice?

3. i have read up and potty training and have gotten all the supplies. now i am just waiting for a stretch of days where i don't have any obligations....hopefully in the next few weeks. all i can say is i think potty training an 18 month old will be an adventure, but she shows all the signs of being ready so bring it on!
