Change of Plans and a Great Weekend!

The Weekend: This weekend we were supposed to spend time in Cedar Falls so Scott could go golfing with my brothers and my Dad. He found out earlier in the week that he had committed to volunteering for his Grandpa's church...taking the youth out on the lake with his family's jet skis. He was a little bummed, but knew that he needed to stick with what he agreed to do. In the end, even after the bitter cold morning of jet skiing on the lake, our weekend was so great!! Friday we decided that we finally needed to get Kaelyn a climber of some sort. We headed out and came home with this one.




She absolutely loves it! We've been wanting to get her one for a while and finally decided to. I'm so glad we did...it's something she'd be happy playing with for hours at a time! Saturday Kaelyn and I hung out in the morning while Scott was volunteering. After her nap Scott got home and we took her outside to play on her new climber for a while. It was nice to have some time together as a family!!


Today we went to church, came home and after Kaelyn's nap...took her out to swim in her pool for a while. She loves to be in the water so this is something she really enjoyed. What she loved most was when Scott put her climber slide in the pool! It's so great to see such a big smile on her face all the time!! I just love it! :)





Potty Training: Well...we are officially saying Kaelyn is potty trained now! She is only wearing diapers when she sleeps (nap and bedtime), but other than that she is wearing little girl underwear all the time. We could have probably said she was potty trained a couple weeks ago, but weren't brave enough to take her out and about without a diaper on. This week we finally decided we had to...and whenever we went somewhere (including church today), we had her in underwear. She is SO good to tell us when she has to go and loves to go on the big potties in stores, etc. I'm glad she caught on to this whole potty thing so fast....we only started training about 4 weeks ago...so we're thrilled! She always wakes up dry from nap and 9 times out of 10 wakes up dry in the morning. We're happy that she is now potty trained well before the baby arrives.

The Pregnancy: Everything is going well! I'm feeling great and couldn't be enjoying pregnancy more. The second half of this second trimester has been so much better for me. I am enjoying it while I can...as I remember the discomfort of getting even bigger in the third trimester!! We are now 22 weeks and can't believe how fast the time is going! Here is the 22 week belly pic....:)
