Pregnant AGAIN!!

It wasnt planned but it was still a beautiful surprise. I was delayed with my period for at least a month already but I kept on pushing the thought of pregnancy away from my mind. I thought I was just so stress over a lot of things hence the irregularity with my period.

One day, while we were out we the kids, we bought a pregnancy stick from a dollar store which gives us a positive result. But I was still on denial. I want more "scientific" confirmation such as blood test and ultrasound. I went to see my family doctor for the test, and YES we're actually pregnant.

Everybody thinks that we're keeping it as a secret yet almost everyone knows that Im pregnant. I wasnt posting any status update on my Facebook cause I want an ultrasound picture to come with it if I do so. So after having my ultrasound, I did finally upload something on my FB. 

We're pregnant for almost 21 weeks now!

Few days after the ultrasound, my coworkers planned for a gender reveal party. and just as I hope so, we're having another BOY. Im excited to be an MOB -Mother of BOYS.

 

off days are meant to be spent like this

Well, I guess I dont have to wait for thursday to write what Im thankful for.

3. Today, Im happy not to be working because I get to spend quality time with the boys. We were able to do craft time and bake time. I havent bought any real art materials yet so i just came up with whatever is available at home.

     This cookie dough was a gift from christmas and Im starting to love it. I dont have time to make a dough but this is a quick fix for a quick activity for toddlers like mine. He just need to scoop it from the bucket, fill his cookie sheets and pop it in the oven.

Then tada, little brother gets to enjoy it. 

thankful thursday

i have the tendency to be pessimistic. To keep myself from seeing the negativity I would try to write the things that I am thankful for. The struggles in life are real, but I need to "count my blessings, and name them one by one"

I am thankful for:

1. my boys: 

         I wasn't able to do a lot of things which I used to do. I hardly have quiet time for myself. But having them makes me the happiest person. I know I can't keep them from growing up, so I'm enjoying them while their little and while I am the most important person in their world.

2. my big boy:

     i wouldnt have my little boys without my man, for him i would always be grateful. it wasnt always an easy ride. and sometimes i feel like we always fight but im grateful for a man who knows how to ask say sorry first in every argument. 

yohann is one

Im so glad that most of my friends were off on the day that we decided to celebrate Yohann's first birthday. Although we haven't really plan much, his birthday was a success. Of course with the help of all our wonderful friends. There presence is even more than enough than the presents our little boy got.

day 5 of 3 days toilet training

i am more confident now to say that my son is toilet trained at 2 years and 4 months old. i thought we would need more than just 3 days of training but now that we're on the 5th day, i can see how well my little one is doing. there are still some accidents but it usually happens when he is very engaged to what he is doing.

therefore, i can say that this 3 day training method work when both of you and your child are ready. i am also happy that my hubby was helpful too in taking Ty to the washroom. I am glad to achieve my goal on having Ty trained before his little brother comes out. At least we dont have to buy 2sets of diaper.

day 4 of 3 days toilet training

We're doing much progress today. We only had one pee accident. He still doesnt tell me when he has to pee when we're at home, probably because I always ask him first when he had too. and when he had too, he gladly goes with me to the potty. maybe, i should stop "forcing" him to seat on the potty when he said no so i wont have any resistance. 

we were in the clinic for my prenatal check up and he told us he has to pee. its kinda funny because he was running around to each room in the clinic in search for the washroom. Im proud that he was able to hold his pee as we go look for the washroom. He even kept hiimself dry despite the traffic when he had kept asking for weewee! 

day 3 of 3 days toilet training

we're supposed to do a morning and afternoon outdoor trip today but i've been waiting for him to go in the morning as he usually does but he didnt do any at all today. so i was just able to take him out in the afternoon. we went in the playground for 1 hour without any accidents. he peed before we left and after we were able to come back home. his dad wanted to go to the mall so i dressed him up with some training underpants. i am surprised that he did ask me to go to the washroom while we were in the mall.but since i still had make a dash to the washroom, he already peed a little on his training undies but he still peed on the toilet. we only had few pee accidents today but he is still not telling me if he wanna go. i always have to ask him still.i dont think he would be fully train anytime soon but im not giving up still. i remember reading somewhere that it takes 21 days to make something as a habit so probably my little boy needs more than just 3 days of training..
