Potty Training Update

Today I have decided to get the big boy pants out. I am going to skip the training pants altogther. We have had 2 wee’s on the carpet and 3 in the potty – so we are winning so far.  I think as Harry is so young I’ll stick to nappies if we go out anywhere but I’ll still bring the potty out with us and sit him on it every now and then. I’m aiming to have him dry during the day by the time he is 2 years old. Harry still doesn’t ask for the potty but he does know when he is about to do a wee because he holds his bits. Granted he might hold his bits 1/16th of a second before he piddles but he still knows its coming. 

We are definatly doing it at the right age for Harry, I fully expect there to be lots of accidents so its just as well we are getting rid of the carpet this summer and replacing it with some wood flooring. When the next littel sprog is here it won’t be so bad , we hope, and he will already be dry during the day so he won’t have that to contend with as well as a new baby in the house.

The best laid plans! Anyway, my dear partner has to get me up the duff first

1 week to go before I can do a pregnancy test.

I am seriously going out of my mind, I’m impatient and anxious and I just want to know already. Am I frickin’ pregnant or not??? I don’t know when I ovulated and I don’t know how long my cycle will be this month. Last month it was 32 days but that was the first cycle after stoping the pill so who knows! I have lotsof symptoms this month, same as last month, but i’m scared to get my hopes up as I felt rubbish last month when I AF arrived.

Month 2 of ttc – symptoms

Headaches, bloated, constipation, sore boobs, hard tummy low down, pain for 3 days on right hand side of pelic region, crying at babies on the television.

Thats it so far. God I am yearning so madly and deeply for a pregnant belly. PLease let it be my turn this month, please……

I have been in hiding due to severe embarrassment!

Now I know I am supposed to be honest in my blog but I just couldn’t face the embarrasment I would suffer from this one. It has taken me a little while to come clean. Last month was our first month trying to concieve numero 2 and I really truly believed I was pregnant. I had all of the symptoms even down to implantation bleeding on 8dpo. When my period was 4 days late I though it had to be it! Alas, last Friday, my dreaded period arrived. What happened to my instinct, it had been completely besieged by my obsession with becoming pregnant. I am sure I’m not the first ttc-er out there that has done this and I won’t be the last but, jeeeez, its embarrasing. Its almost like I tricked myself into believeing I was pregnant. Will have to be a little more careful this month and keep my insane ravings to the confines of my head!
