Dare I say it???

Ashton is 2 years, 7 months, and 3 weeks and I think he may be potty trained!!! He has done #2 in the toilet for the past 5 days in a row! He has occasional pee accidents but that is usually after naptime when he is not quite awake yet. For the past week, he tells us when he needs to go to the potty and when he needs to go poop! Yeah! Cross my fingers that I haven't just jinxed him!

25 weeks pregnant

Wow I have grown quite a bit in 5 weeks! 15 weeks to go and BabyB #3 will be here. He is still unnamed and will probably be until I get to see the little guy. Like Ashton and Violet, we go in with a list of names and end up with something totally different. So we will see in about 4 months what he looks like. I had an ultrasound last week which showed he measured a week larger than his estimated due date. So we'll see if he is bigger or if it means he will show up a week earlier! He is an active little guy and loves to push and kick at my belly button from the inside giving me a little buzz feeling. It's very ackward and icky!

1 year update

Violet weighs in at a hefty (hah) 18 pounds, 8 ounces and is a towering 27 3/4 inches tall. That puts her ~10th%ile for her age on the "old" growth charts. On the new WHO growth charts, she shoots up to the 25th%ile for weight. Although she is very tiny, she is very proportional at the 50-75th%ile.

Happy Birthday Violet
