Update on Baby, etc

I know it's been awhile; I have neglected my blog, sorry about that. I tend to forget things lately and my poor blog is one of them. So, again for those who don't already know, we are expecting another girl! We wanted a boy, but like with Madison (who we also wanted to be a boy) we are still excited that she's healthy and growing well! I've started to feel her move and I love that! It is my favorite part of pregnancy! Even in the last couple of months with Madison and she didn't have much room and stretched and I had to have my torso in a straight postion (so I needed to shift if I was sitting) I still loved it. :) We have a few name choices but nothing is certain yet. Madison kept calling her Dora, but she's finally changed that and now calls her one of our choices. She understands she's in my belly and knows that she will be there until she's done growing. I'm sure she hasn't put it together in her head that there is a real baby growing in there, but she talks like she somewhat understands. We'll see how she does come August! It's kind of weird this time because I had Madison c-section because she was breech; so this one will be a scheduled c-section also, which makes it weird because everyone asks when my due date is which is September 2nd but she will most likely be born in the last week or so of August. So, it's crazy because when people ask I feel like I have to explain it, instead of a simple answer. :)
As for everyone else, Jason is working for Hertz, but crazy hours so we see each other on a different schedule than everyone else. I am working at Madison's MDO, still and I'm also working at a church Sunday mornings which helps because the 2 jobs I have I can take Madison with me! It definitely makes things a lot easier than when I've worked anywhere else! Madison is still working on potty training! Some days she is all about it, some does she just wants to wear a diaper all day! I've asked and tried to get her to wear her big girl panties and work on going on the potty on days like today when we have nothing else going on, but she wanted the diaper. It's frustrating for me, because I know she can and is completely capable, she just chooses not to. Yes it would be easier if she was potty trained by August, but I'm not going to push it! It is also kind of weird because I feel like most of her class is potty trained so I really don't understand why she doesn't pick that up. This past week she tried at school a few times and I was so proud of that, but as soon as she's home, it's a different story. It's also hard because it feels like no matter what I do to build up the excitement she still strays and just wants a diaper. I don't know. I just continue working with her and try to be patient. It will come.
It's also interesting because this time around with the baby I have been sooooo anxious for her to get here! Almost from the time I found out I was pregnant! :) I've decided it's probably because I'm not working full time and then some like I was with Madison! I worked 8am to whenever Monday thru Friday with Madison and walked daily (as part of my job); so needless to say it's a different situation, but I'm trying to make sure I still walk enough and eat well. It's also been interesting because when I was pregnant with Madison I only knew a few people that were also pregnant at the time. This time I know just under 10! It is amazing! Especially because just under half work with me at the MDO!
Anyway, well I hope everyone enjoys their Easter weekend and praise God for sacrificing his son on the cross on this day!
Take care; until next time!!
