One thing I've learned through potty training is that there are a few words that Nadia can say (potty, peepee, and hurry for example) that make me drop everything and RUN. It's probably as effective as someone yelling "FIRE!" LOL! I don't drop Ian if I am holding him, but I do hastily put him down (which displeases him when I'm in the middle of nursing him). Monday I was making brownies and stopped so abruptly that I accidently dropped the spoon into the batter. Sunday I pulled the car over on the side of the highway so Paul could take her in the grass. Yesterday I was trimming fat off of pork and didn't even wash my hands first whereas normally I won't do anything until I wash my hands after I've handled raw meat. Even though sometimes they are false alarms, I still feel my adrenaline kick in when I hear her say one of those words. It's a race to try to get her on the potty on time. The good news would be that outside of her crib she hasn't had any accidents for seven days. During those seven days she only had an accident during naptime one day (Thursday with Paul). Yesterday was the second day out of the last eight days that she pooped in the potty. That was cause for much rejoicing! She's using regular toilets for peeing, but her success with #2 yesterday was in the froggy potty. I think we need to stick with those for a bit longer for #2. Hopefully she won't have any accidents at Knoebels today!
We started trying to have children in May 2002. After pursuing fertility treatments, domestic, and international adoption, our daughter Nadia Renee was born on 6-24-08 (at 36w4d). IVF #2 resulted in Ian Alexander, who was born on 12-12-09 (at 34w3d). Oliver Elliot (IVF #3) was born on 8-7-12 (at 31w6d)! Three other pregnancies (in 2005, 2007, and 2013) ended in miscarriage. Our family is complete! We are so thankful for our three miracles!
