Pregnancy Woes!

So this has not been the best week. This pregnancy is so different than when I was pregnant with Mateo. With Mateo, besides some nausea and being tired.. once ~14 weeks passed, things were great and I loved being pregnant. Given at this point, I am 13 weeks today.. but this little one is kicking my butt! I have had 2-3 colds and this week has hit me with a full blown, on my back, cold. Can't stop coughing, sneezing, blowing my nose and feeling like crap. If you know me, I never call in sick to work. Well I caved in on Thursday night and called in. My mom was here with Mateo so that helped. With Jeff working and having a class on Saturday, I sent Mateo home with my mom so he could visit my dad. He was excited to go, and it gives me a few days on my own. Just to lay in bed and get some much needed rest. I saw my Dr on Friday and he gave me some antibiotics, so hopefully they will kick in soon. Hopefully once I am back to my normal self and beginning to enjoy this pregnancy, I will keep this blog updated with pics of our cute little man!! Off to rest.

Yay Mateo!

Yesterday I decided. It's time. Mateo is a big boy and he needs to start going potty like the big boys. Well we started out the morning by sitting on the potty every hour. And he then decided he did not want to wear a diaper. Well about 20 min later, he told me he had to Poop! Pulled his pants down, sat him on the potty.. and he POOPED! Ok could that be so easy? Or just good timing. He got a "special treat" ~ a girl scout cookie and we have been sitting on the potty every hour since. We will see how this goes. It is time though. Given we have 5 months, but he has to be pottytrained for preschool which starts at the beginning of August and I am not going to have two children in diapers!!

Good job Mateo.. Mommy is so PROUD of yoU!!
