Stenger LIFE: Its a big deal!

So I have to record May 22nd, 2011 as Karmann's 1st official poop in the potty at home! (Sorry to those who this grosses out.) But, it was a big deal!! Karmann has been in potty training at school since about February, and since her parents (yes, us) have been busy building a house and packing and moving, we haven't been very consistent on our part. So, now that we can focus, we are trying to get her to train at home too. This weekend we tried to be consistent, and finally last night, she turned and grabbed her diaper and I said you need to go potty? And she gave me the look - so off to the toilet we went. And, I noticed she was needing to go - well, you know. So - as hilarious as it was, she went! And boy were we excited! And we had to go get Daddy to show him her accomplishment! So today at school, she also went pee in the potty a couple times, they said. This too is an accomplishment! Though tonight, she already has gone pee in her pull-up, so we still have a lot of work to do! Our "plan" is to take this upcoming 3 day weekend to be much more aggressive and try and go full-on with no diaper or pull-ups. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we make progress.

On another note, I had my 16 week check-up on Friday. So far I have gained about 10 lbs. And just 4.5 of that was in the last 4 weeks. So, I'm actually on track. I am already pooched out and everyone thinks I'm much farther along than I am. I guess that is normal with your second? I'm already feeling uncomfortable and FINALLY brought out my maternity clothes, and boy does it make a difference!

Yesterday Karmann had another playdate with her little friends from daycare at Lake Eola. It was a warm day, but fun none the less! And last weekend, there was another birthday party for her playmate Alex at Chick Fil-a, and we also went swimming at the Sanchez's. Here's a few photos from those fun events!
