Brinley is going to be Big Sister!

We are having a baby! About a month ago we got insurance back so we decided that we were going to take my IUD out and see what happens to have a baby. The doctor said that is would take about 3 months for me to start and get regular. Well 2 days later I started. So I was 8 days late if I was regular and just thought oh well my body is all messed up from the IUD. Then later night we went to dinner and I didn't feel good. So at 8:30 at night I went to the store and bought a test come home and 3 minutes later... YEAH!! So now how do we tell everyone. We wanted to make Brinley a shirt that said "I'm going to be a big sister" but there is no way I could kept a secret that long. We decided to have Brinley color a picture on a card and we googled to see what development a baby has at 4 week and seen that they get a heart beat. So we wrote on the card "your 8th/16th grand child just developed a heart beat!" And had brinley give it to them today. It was so fun to see their faces light up! We are so excited! I calulated our due date on the computer and it said Oct. 26 that is 3 days before my birthday and Brinley was born 3 days before Justin birthday. This is the best birthday present ever!!

Potty training

I have been want to potty train Brinley lately and I have been doing a little bit like putting her on a little potty every now and then but I just decided yesterday that I'm just going to do it. So I put her in underwear and put her in the potty every ten minutes. I don't start until 7 at night and she went an hour before she peed in her panties and then we went to back. Then today we have not been home a lot so I started at 6 put her in panties and set a timer for every 10 mins. We went and sat there for a minute or so and after an hour and a half she went potty in the toilet. I screammed so loud I think I scared her. We called daddy and grandmas and 10 mins. Later she went again she went 3 times in a row it is now 8:30 and she is still dry. I'm so excited. I almost started to cry. It is so silly the thing that parent get so excited about but I love it! I love being Mom it is the great joy in my life and I'm so blessed to be able to be a stay at home with her to. Sometimes it is hard with Justin here but life is still good.
