Macy's New Shirt & Potty Training Success!

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, we got a new shirt for Macy... (be sure to read the fine print!)




I dunno, does she look like she's excited or not?!? I guess it kinda goes with the shirt! Anyway, I'm due April 19th and we are, of course, super excited! We put this shirt on Macy when visiting family and it was interesting to see how long it took them to read it (some needed a little prompting and others had to bust out the bifocals!) It was a fun way to let everyone know. Anyway, I did have problems with spotting, so I've had three ultrasounds already, but everything looks great and the baby was even measuring 3-4 days ahead. I still can't get over how loud and strong the heartbeat is on something so itty bitty! I have been surprised by nausea and fatigue in the mornings and evenings since I didn't have any with Macy. It's not fun! Hopefully I only have a week or two of that left. I'm looking forward to another spring baby and Macy will have just turned 3, so I think it will be great.

The weekend that we started telling everyone also happened to be when Macy decided to finally get potty trained - double bonus!! She's doing awesome with it and is very proud to show off her big girl panties (she literally pulls down her pants and shows everyone!). Her favorite phrase lately is "I not poopy!" because she's so excited that she didn't poop her pants that she must proclaim it periodically. She's also somewhat obsessed with the fact that our dog, Lexi, poops in the yard. She discovered this a few weeks ago and she immediately had to run to daddy and inform him that Lexi poops in the backyard. She will randomly mention that Lexi poops in the backyard, just in case I forgot.

On Saturday, we went to the Fall Festival parade and it was so much fun. Macy was literally jumping up and down clapping when she saw it was starting, she was sooo excited. I had explained to her that I would hold her bag and she would get the candy and put it in the bag and man... that girl was all business with her candy retrieval duties!! I guess she just knows not to mess around when it comes to candy! Afterwards she went on a pony ride too, which she didn't want to end because she loves "neigh's" as she calls them. She is at that age now where she is really enjoying things like this so much and it makes me enjoy them that much more. Oh how sweet it is!!!
