Baby & Kid Chat - September

Amy- Congrats...

Sorry I haven't been on this board much lately but I have a question with those with older kids. When were your kids night trained?  I had been wondering and asked on one of my moms groups here and it seemed like most were already at David's age so I gave it a try last night. He had been waking up dry about 1/2 the time. Anyway he got up once to go around 2am and then was up 30 minutes earlier than normal. Tonight we will do no liquids an hour before bedtime. I am hoping eventaully he gets the hang of it he'll go back to his normal bed time. However he usually gets up earlier on weekdays I think he he hears my husband. Weekends he sleeps a little later. I just don't want this to mess with his wake up schedule,  but I would like to have him out of pull ups totally before the baby arrives.

Hey ladies! I have been reading ,just not posting. Its been way too busy with work, home and everything.

Here is the link to our pictures from our maternity shoot on Sunday: http://jmeppfamily.shutterfly.com/pineapple/34

I can't remember the last time I updated on here, so I am sorry if I repeat stuff. Things are sort of looking up for us. THe lawsuit I was involved with from a car accident almost 3 years ago was settled so I don't have to go to court in December which is great! Our remodel is still going, but some progress has been made so that's good and the lien that was placed on our house is in the process of being removed and they received payment. so all good things.

The pregnancy is going great. I will be 32 weeks on Friday! I can't believe I am on the home stretch, seriously how did this happen. I start weekly ultrasounds on week 34. (september 24th is my first). so that will be a lot of time at the docs office but at least I get to see her a lot.

Gabby is growing up so much! I look at her now and I still see my baby girl but man has she grown. She is counting to 12 just great and sometimes gets up to 14. She knows a TON of animal names/sounds and knows her colors along with the signs. We call her our little mockingjay (Yep I am in the middle of the hunger games series). She repeats EVERYTHING we say and sometimes over and over and over again. Yesterday morning (sorry for those on FB as this is a repeat) she was playing with her stickers and DH only let her have like 6 or 7, she wanted another one. He said you can only have 6. She then takes all the stickers off and puts them back on the sticker sheets and then asks DH for the one she wanted. Such a smarty pants. All I could do was smile! She knows how to work the system already and she's only 2.
