Big Milestone Day

Yesterday was a big day for Parks and Marlee:

Parks peed in the potty for the first time!!

I haven't been trying to potty train yet since we will have a newborn in about 3 months to keep us busy...and I don't want to put the work in now and then have the twins regress and have to re-train them later.  However, I did buy a potty and let them sit on it to get used to it (usually at bath time).  Parks peed right away and was so proud of himself, but not as proud as I was.  :-)  He did it again tonight at bath time.  Woo-hoo.



Marlee escaped her crib...twice!!

Not so great.  I went in to get them up from their nap yesterday, and she was walking around the room and throwing a bunch of stuffed animals in Parks' crib.  I was so shocked.  Then, I put them to bed last night and a few minutes later saw her walking around the room on the baby monitor.  Needless to say, we did some rearranging and have moved Parks into his own room (still in a crib) and put a mattress on the floor for Marlee's "big girl bed."  She actually took a really good nap on it today with no hiccups and I put her to bed a little while ago...we will see how tonight goes.  I did have to sing her to sleep for her nap and bed time, but that should only last during this transition phase.



I am 26 weeks preggo today!!

I feel like I am 36 weeks, which doesn't bode well, but things have been going pretty well.  This little guy gets very active in the evenings when I FINALLY sit down to relax.  My feet ache when I am standing a lot during the day and the heartburn is awful at night (I usually wake up every hour at night with unbearable burning).  I am starting a rx heartburn med today, so hopefully I can make it through the night tonight.  Other than that, I can't complain much and have been so thankful to have all positive doctor reports so far.  I do my glucose test in 2 weeks and after that I have to start my checkups every 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks.  I feel like I am so busy that I haven't been spending as much time mentally preparing for our new addition, but once in a while it hits me and I am just so excited and grateful for this miracle of life.  I love him already.  Now...does anyone have a perfect name suggestion???
