It's a BOY!

A bit of a surprise to me - considering how sick I was the first trimester!  We are excited for Landon to have a brother to play with and Kendall to have two brothers that will protect her.

Baby is healthy and measuring right on track for a due date of June 17, 2012.  I'm hopeful this baby will come early like the other two so we can have a weekend or two between his birthday and Kendall's, which is June 21st.

I have a little pregnancy complication called placenta previa.  Right now they are just monitoring it, but in 8 weeks we'll go back for another ultrasound to see if the placentra has stretched upward so it's no longer covering the cervix.  If it hasn't moved, we may be in for a little more drama come the last trimester, but I'm remaining hopeful that we'll have good news.

Potty Trained!

We thought this day would never come.  Our little Kendall is pretty set in her ways and trying to even get her to sit on the potty proved challenging.  We started about 2 weeks before Christmas.  We switched  to pull-ups and tried to get her to sit on the potty.  She cried every time.

That went on for about 2 weeks.   We were about to give up....a couple days after Christmas we went to the lunch and then the local barber to get Landon's hair cut.  Kendall was a little antsy, so I walked with her around the corner to our downtown candy store.  I let her pick out something for her and Landon and then got some sour cherry balls for Jason.  I told her they were mommy and daddy's "special treats."  She could have one when she went on the potty.

She must have motivated by the special treats, because she's gone on the potty everyday and we haven't looked back.  We had to get bigger special treats for the number 2 deed, but it's worked so far.  We've had a couple accidents, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Little Chefs

Landon and Kendall love the kitchen!  They play with the plastic one in the basement all the time and have really started to enjoy cooking/baking in the real kitchen.

Beaters are a huge hit - especially when they have frosting on them.  I love having little helpers in the kitchen!
