Mind Dump

My Monster is growing up....*wistful sigh*

This last week, she's insisted on doing alot of things that I usually do herself. Such as dressing her, getting her out of the carseat, ect. So, things have been taking a bit longer than usual...which is okay. Its that time where toddlers discover that they can do things too.

In the picture I posted with this entry, she insisted on wearing a different shirt. One that, of course, didnt match the shorts I picked out. And she demanded on wearing her yellow headband and my old Mardi Gras beads. Lord....She is a handful sometimes.

As for the binky issue, its been going very well. she hasnt slept with itg since Wednesday night. I snipped it down to a point that she couldnt even keep it in her mouth without holding it there herself. And with it being around her in the bed, I think it was a horrible reminder that "it was too little". And therefore, she'd cry alot in the night. So, Thursday, I didnt mention the binky and somehow she forgot to gather it up with all of her bedtime things (sippy cup of water, whichever blanket she's chosen for the night and a "baby"). She slept wonderfully. In the morning, I rewarded her with Rolo chocolates. Im sure someone out there is going to chastise me for that, but I figured it was like the M&M thing for potty training. You give chocolate as the reward...I just happened to get Rolo's and not M&M's.

Anyhow, that worked great...and last night she slept great again, therefore earning her another Rolo. She even told her Papa that she was a big girl now and that her binky broke.

Well, on to other things...

I went to my midwives yesterday and apparently I havent progressed any. Too bad. But I knew beforehand that women can be dilated at a 1.5 for awhile, so Im trying not to be too disapointed. I had been having soem really uncomfortable BH's and so I was pretty sure that I had dilated some....or at least effaced some more. But, apparently, I was just gassy...

Ugh...3 weeks to go!
