This week has brought lots of things to post about. First is the fact that Jackson is now 2 months old. He's finally waking up only once during the night, usually around 2 am. I love that I'm finally not feeling completely exhausted. Don't get me wrong, I'm still tired a lot, but I no longer feel like I'm so tired I can't think straight. I feel like I'm back to being a good Mom to Joe and Clara by not yelling all the time due to my lack of sleep. Yay for me! :)
We took him in for his 2 month check up this week and he's almost doubled his birth weight! We also were given the go ahead to keep doing over night oxygen tests about every 2 weeks. If he happens to pass between now and his Pulmonary specialist appointment, then we can cancel that appointment. So at least I don't feel like we're in limbo until June 15 anymore.
Joseph has been potty training for a couple of weeks now. I assumed that it was his idea to become a big boy (I'm all for keeping him in diapers a little longer,) that potty training would be easy. I won't go into any gross details, but let's just say he REFUSES to wear diapers because they are for babies, but he also hardly ever goes in the toilet. In addition to M&M's for immidiate prizes, I got him two other prizes. One he could earn by having at least one success during the day and having at least one clean pair of underwear on at the end of the day. He has 7 pairs of underwear, and it took us 5 days before he FINALLY earned his first prize. Boy was he sure proud of himself though when he got Diesel 10!
I hope this motivates him to keep trying! It's hard being patient when there are so many accidents to clean up!
