MY BIG GIRL

first thing... I woke up the other day to find the hampster had died....

warning... this is about potty training!

I had Chris pick up a potty for Katie Bug the other night. My thoughts were that with Alexis gone for a few weeks we could hopfully get potty training going. I was just hoping she would have some intrest in it. Well the next morning when she woke up I showed it to her. She got all excited. i told her if she went pee pee on it that daddy would bring her a surprise! she got all excited and took her diaper off. she was done with it. she asked me for panties. we went upstairs and got them. we played for a bit and watched a movie. When I put Jacob down for a nap we both naped on the couch. when we woke up I thought she was going upstairs but she didnt. next thing I know she is coming up saying mommy theres pee pee in there!! and she pointed to the bathroom. sure enough there was. I am so proud of her. she has gone in it all day and just a bit ago she went poop 2!!! I am soo proud!

oh man!

So last night I was talking to one of my best friends and realized I that my lil friend should show up soon, or should already be here.. its actuallt frusrating that its not here. we are using protection....but you know how that gose... dosnt always work.so last night i went and got a test.. neg.. but my mind will not be at ease untill i do start. ugh... to make matters wrose, my friend Katie called today and told me she was pregnant. I told her, don't jinx me! she had just found out she was pregnant with her son 2 weeks before i found out I was pregnant with Jacob... ugh LOL.... lalalala

so sad

I feel absolutly horrible. I went to get Ara, our hampster out of her cage and found our she has wet tail. wet tail is usually deadly. they say is is stress related and if that is the case then I think it happend when my dad and i changed her cage and she met Ruby for the first time when she was in her ball. usually i put ruby in the kitchen when she is in the ball. there is nothing I can do at this point. I know i did not catch it in time to take her in and try to get her better. she already has mucus on one eye. she most likley will be dead by morning. I just don't know what to do. when she does die i'm probably going to get rid of her cage and if we get another hampster then i'll get another cage. I don't need another one die because of contamination. i just don't know what to do or how to tell the girls.

my birthday...

Well yesterday was my birthday and it was actually really nice. one of the nicest ones I have had in a long time. Usually my birthday is just another day but yesterday my BF here in VA took me to lunch and then she made me an awesome chocolate cake and had one of our other friends and her kids come over and they sang and had candles. it was really nice. then we watched the funniest movie ever, Norbert. my hunny had to work so we are going to celebrate this weekend. it was just a nice day.the only sad part was that my oldest lil girl left to go to Florida with my parents for a few weeks. I already miss her so much.

my poor lil man :-(

my poor lil man. I took him to the urgent care at Langley and they told me that the thing on his arm was an allergic reaction!!! well it grew over night. doubling in size! so back to the UC we went. this time we went to Riverside. i was not going back to Langley. well it turns out he has a skin infection called impetigo. so now we have a topical antibiotic and the crappy thing is it is contagious so my dad is coming and he has no immune system because of the liver transplant so he might not even be able to hold my lil man. ugh.. the things we deal with....

my poor lil man

a few days ago I noticed a bite or something on my little mans arm, so I did what I thought would be the best thing. I put neosporin on the spot and covered it with a band aid. that was last night, when I woke up this morning and took off the band aid it looked like it had doubled in size and it was just horrible looking. and it had red bumps all around it. I took him into the Urgent Care center on base and guess what!? he had an allergic reaction to either the neosporine or the band aid. my poor lil man... it makes me so sad...

A blonde moment.............

OK, I have realized that I had a blond moment. we got this new lab top a few weeks ago, and with that i had to get a new Verizon wireless Internet card.So I took the old one in and got one that worked with windows vista... witch I hate BTW! well the old card was just that, a card..no antenna, nothing.. well we were wondering why we kept getting kicked off with the new one when it was meant to be the better one, well.... ready for the blond moment... I DIDN'T realize that the card had an antenna!!!!!!!! when I realized that last night I couldn't believe it... how crazy is this? so I was online for 6 hours last night and did not get kicked off once. usually i get kicked off all the time... what a blond moment! LOL
