Back in the potty biz

Yep we have finished our 4th day of Riordan back going in the potty. All I can say is thankkkkkk youuuuuuu.
Nothing significant changed to get him to go back, he just looked at me Saturday morning and said he had to go ;-)
Only one accident in four days, yippee! He loves to go pee pee on the grass too LOL. Which he did a lot at Uncle John and Aunt Amy's house on Saturday evening. That was a fun time.
We got a very late start out of the gate, so we didn't get to their house until a quarter till 5. We even put them down early for naps, so we could get there by 4. But of course, the children decided to take longs naps and much need ones for all the energy they were going to use swimming. We were wonderful prunes when we got out of their fun and refreshing (once the aerator came on) pool! It's so hot that the water was heated up like bath water. Thannkkkkk youuuuuu for aerators! Their house is beautiful and so perfectly cozy. They just upgraded to a Honda SUV too! Congrats guys!
Oh and Friday nite at Fleming's was yummo.. got my Filet, my bearnaise sauce, my potatoes, and my chocolate lave cake! I can't wait to eat it ALL again LOL.
Sunday we completely and totally forgot to go to Ava's house for her 1st birthday after church! I was so sad to forget it, but thankfully her mommy forgave us. I just loveee this pregnancy brain. It was on both my calendars and we even talked about it that morning going to church. On the way home we hit Mickey D's and then took naps! I didn't remember until I was getting ready for Marcie's birthday dinner! YIKES!
This week is doctor appointments. I decided, I don't think I've posted any of this, to do speech therapy for Caden after a few weeks from his evaluation. She is pretty sure it's a developmental issue and that a few session would do great for him. She did give me the option of continuing to work with him at home, which is what I first decided. Well he had an extremely rough week 2 weeks ago, so bad in fact he broke my heart because he for the first time stopped saying a word and said he couldn't do it, and he even asked to go she Ms. Joy, our therapist. This past week though, he has had a lot less bumpy speech, so it may have just been a long week for him. Anywho, I'll be content to get this worked on before Aislinn comes. Our first real appointment is tomorrow after school.

I have the next weigh in on Thursday for Aislinn. See how big this nugget is! I'm convinced she is 5lbs easily.

My friend Kristi is expecting her fourth and is in full throttle morning sickness. Oh how she is handling it so much better than I did! She is still driving the boys in the morning. I'm ready for you to take a break! ;-)

My girls Kristi, Monica, and Marcie are planning a baby lunch/dinner for me on the 8th. Not sure on the details, but I did request nothing extravagent like favors, cake, balloons, etc. I just want to enjoy a last hurrah out with the girls before I live like a hermit with FOUR children LOL. They are so good to me, thank you girls!

I can't believe we leave for Maui in a week! Hurricane Flossie, is just missing the Big Island and is just causing a lot of big surf. I don't see anything significant forming in the Pacific, but I'm better at predicting in the Atlantic than here.

Teagan is doing just great. She is such a princess/diva/boss of the house. Her expressions just crack me up. She loves to go in the bathroom with Riordan and flush the toilet for him when he's done. Gets mad if she doesn't get to do it. She can say all of our names now, her favorite phrase is " I don't want to" It's clear as a bell and she got it from Riordan. Says it perfectly with emotion and hand movements.
Riordan has been saying Dag Nabbit, but it sounds like GD and the first time he did it, I was shocked. It wasn't until today, after a couple of days, that I figured out what he was saying. Okay, so we are working on the enunciation now. Thank you Backyardigans.

Mike cleaned out the gargage this past weekend, so well in fact that I can for the first time since our house in Acworth park in it!! What a huge difference it has been the past two days! It's still warm in there, but it's not beating us down, and I don't have to worry anymore about where the children are when loading and unloading. People just fly down our street. I want to put in my own speed bump in front of the house!

Everyone keeps saying that I will have to change to a MiniVan, and I think if I hear it one more time I may hurt them. Yes my hormones seem to be a bit raging these past few weeks. However, I'm exasperated from explaining how changing from a 7 passenger SUV with no cargo room, to a 7 passenger mini-van with hardly cargo room makes any sense? Our vacations are driving only, and no way can we fit all of our things for SIX people in a minivan! So for months now I have been researching the different types of SUV's with extended lengths, Used mind you, and think I'm set on the Yukon XL. Thing is, I won't be able to park in the gargage LOL. But I can do third seat with three passengers, captain's chairs for the second row and have cargo room for my triple, YES triple Stroller by Joovy, the Big Caboose. It's compatable with my car seat for Aislinn, a spot for Teagan and a spot to stand or sit for one of the boys. Great for cooler days to walk to the park! My double stroller will have to go in the front seat of our Ford until then, yeah doesn't fit in the little cargo holder with the third row up. But I will make due for another 7-8 months at the most. The price is great, in fact a used one is the same as the price of our new Ford when we bought it. So there, this is something I have researched since I got pregnant, in fact before hand too. I have looked at all my friends MiniVans, and not satisfied with the cargo room in the back or under the floor. You have to see how we pack to understand. And the triple stroller won't fit in the minivan! LOL If I were to get a minivan, because I'm not against them, It would be the Nissan Qwest. She is purty! So done there ;-)

And oh yes, pregnancy insomnia is bad tonite as well as my restless leg syndrome. So I may go and try and watch a movie, which will hopefully put me to sleep! We have the Da Vinci Code tivo'd and I'm been waiting forever to watch it.
