Little Corbin didn't last too long with this activity---he doesn't like to get his hands dirty--LOL

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie :)

It makes me smile when little things like this arrive in in my mailbox...

And just in case you have seen these on Pinterest and thought they look fun, I just want to warn you they don't work very well at all. The marshmallows get stuck VERY easily. It is hard for a small child to use enough force to launch the marshmallows out of the tubes. If you just use one straight pipe it works better but even then, the marshmallows still get stuck!

29 Weeks

I had a doctor appointment/sonogram today for little Miss Chloe. She is measuring a little over a week ahead of schedule and weighing in at 3 pounds 3 ounces. She is in the 75% and her heart rate was 139. They also mentioned again that she has a quite a bit of hair. The sono went great and they said everything looks like it should :)

I also took my 1 hour glucose test today which I failed with both boys. I'm praying for a miracle that I actually passed this time. I REALLY do not want to take the 3 hour test for the third time. I should find out my results by the end of the week.

I'm having plenty of braxton hicks contractions with little Miss Chloe but other than that I feel great and I am so very thankful for that!

I am still embarrassed to go out in public because I am constantly getting harassed by strangers. Most of them are insistent that I must be carrying twins. Here are some comments from just the last couple of days....

When I told the lady checking me out at Target that I was due in October, she immediately looked shocked and asked if I was having twins. After I assured her that I am only carrying one baby she then went on to tell me that her sister-in-law was like me----she blew up like a balloon! Those were her exact words. And then she went on to say that her sister-in-law had blood sugar issues and that maybe I needed to get my blood sugar checked. Thanks for the tip lady---I will not be checking out in your lane again.

Then today I had one lactation nurse tell me she was shocked I was due in October and then she asked me if I was sure it was a singleton pregnancy. YES, I'M SURE!  Thanks for asking.

Then, while I was checking out at Carters today the lady acted like she was in complete shock that I was due in October and then preceded to tell me that there is just no way I am going to make it until October and that my doctor was probably going to have to put me on bed rest. Thanks for making me feel better lady---UGGGG!

And while we are discussing comments from this week. Here is one of Cason's from today....

Me: Cason, if you don't have something nice to say then you don't need to say anything at all.
Cason: So you mean I can't talk anymore?

And, I'll leave you with Chloe's pics from today (she's still a girl by the way---I ask every time)


Still a girl...

Heart rate: 139...

Cute little profile :)

Chloe's 3D/4D Sonogram

We went as a family last Friday for Chloe's 3D/4D sonogram. Cason LOVED it and was very interested the whole time. Corbin on the other hand was in a bad mood and would rather have not been there (I won't use his exact words).

They told us that it looks like she has a lot of hair---I wonder if it will be brown or blonde???

Here are some of my favorites...

My Big Boys

I decided it was time for Corbin to get potty trained last week. So I decided to try the 3 Day Potty Training method because it worked for a couple of my friends. Cason was easy to potty train---the first time we put him in underwear he learned after his very first accident that he didn't like to get his underwear wet so he didn't have any more accidents. Corbin on the other hand, did not care when he had accidents in his underwear and he is very STUBBORN,  so I needed some help! 

Day 1 was not good, day 2 was much better than day 1, and day 3 was worse than day 2 so I was thinking it didn't work. However, day 4 and everyday since then we have been accident free!!! I'm so happy to report that our stubborn little 2 year old is officially potty trained!!! I still put him in overnight diapers at night time because I'm just not brave enough to put him underwear at night and I'm okay with that :)

He is loving The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles right now...

On Day 1 we went though almost all of his underwear...

On Sunday, I had to take this cutie to the after hours clinic because his ear was draining. We left with meds for an ear infection (thankfully it was the ear that still has a tube so we just have to do drops) and I was told that he was wheezing and his lungs were extremely tight so back to breathing treatments it is. Just when I thought he had outgrown needing them....

Today at swim lessons Cason graduated to a level 5 which means he is now considered an independent swimmer. We only have 5 more lessons left for this summer and I know Cason will miss it. He loves going to swimming lessons!
