Little selections from the "announcements" section of kellymom, home of "Attachment parenting and extended breastfeeding" moos. Below are the excited posts exclaiming celebratory news! Let's break out the champagne. :beer
:bal I'm finally coming back to Kellymom!
And... I'm actually coming back with a bang! Much to our surprise (as we weren't trying) I'm pregnant again. And not only pregnant, but pregnant with twins! I've no way of saying how much time I'll be able to spend here, but you'll be seeing me around again, especially on Ladies in Waiting It'll be so nice to be back here again. I've missed you all so much!"
s "We have introduced DD to her very own potty and yesterday afternoon I sat her on it and read some books. She got up and there was pee in it. She didn't even know she had gone!! It was very exciting!! We called daddy and he took us out for ice cream to celebrate. She was quite proud.
So today she wanted to sit on it but said she didn't have to pee pee...., and she came and got me and said "mommy look at this". So I thought she had peed again....nope she had pooped! WOW! I couldn't believe it...."
"Ms. AF herself came to visit me tonite!
I am actually happy to see her and am looking forward to buying some washable pads in celebration!!"
("AF"=Aunti Flo= their period. I had to look it up)
"My first and forever baby girl is 5 now (August 6th). I just cannot believe how quickly time has flown. She self weaned at 2.5 yrs..now she's twice that in age (still very "booby" oriented). She still picks at my bellybutton like she did when we nursed (even though at the moment my bellybutton is turned inside out!!).("40 weeks and 2 says" preggo)
It's bittersweet, watching them grow up! I'm excited though because I'll be off work for the next yr or so, which means more time with my kid(s)!"
:yr..."she is completely potty trained!!!! It's been over a month now with no accidents! I can even take her to the mall, church, etc and she will use the potty to pee or poop any where now! She only wears panties now!!!!!! She does wear a pullup to bed (DH's request) but we call it her night time comfy panties and she rarely pees in her sleep in them now too! I'm so proud of her......"
"OK, this is a little TMI, but I am so happy, I have to share. This week is the first time since I had DD that DH and I had sex and it didn't hurt! It was also the first time since I got pregnant (more than 2 years ago!) that I actually had the urge......."
"Toby is rolling over!
He's done it a few times last month, but this weekend we kept putting him on his belly and he rolled right over to his back!!"
"The BFing Birdie is at it AGAIN!!!!!
A little bfing birdie told me someone is VERY surprised to be expecting a LO - who could it be?! Let's play a game so we can all see!!
Here are the rules to the game:
1. You may ask yes or no questions only.
2. You may only ask one question at a time. Be careful that your question asks only ONE thing and doesn't assume anything.
3. When you think you've figured it out, go ahead and make a guess."
Yesterday my mom and I drove up to Portland and I found a great wedding dress for only $249!! It looks great, will hide/squish my stomach pooch(7 weeks preggo) if I'm unable to lose enough weight (day 18 and still not a single pound lost ), and only needs a hem for alterations, which my aunt is going to do. I just need to get a simple veil and I'll be all set! Yay! Now on to the the other million and one things that need to get done/figured out."
..."we are so excited we are closing on the new house we had built tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we still havent sold the one we are in but...."
:sw "Katelynn has very recently taken a great interest in spelling... Well our cat walked by and she said "C A T spells cat!" Then she wanted paper to write on so I gave her a pencil and a piece of paper and went to nurse Ariel, and when I looked at her paper after I was done nursing the baby she had wrote the word CAT The C was backwards which I think is normal when they are learning to write, but I am so proud of her!!!! My 4 year old baby is learning how to write and spell!!!!"
:chug My girls(2 y/o twins) are drinking their "milkies" out of a "SIPPY SPORT CUP"!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooooooo excited! This is the first time they haven't thrown it back at me! heehee! So hopefully this is a start of getting them off of the baby bottles! WHOOHOOO!!! We are doing fine with the binkies, and they don't use them at all out in public anymore. I'm cool with them just using them at home and in the car if needed. We are making progress!"
Whenever there is a moment that I may feel my life is boring, I will scan the above list of accomplishments which were considered worthy enough to post on the world wide web for affirmation and cheers.
