For real, I am so happy it's Friday. My week has been full of ups and downs, but overall it's been good. Brian went out of town on Sunday evening, until Tuesday evening so we were scrambling around trying to find enough help day and night so that things would be ok. Well, we got through it unscathed and even ahead of the game. Here's a breakdown:
-Annika is potty training and dare I say (here's where I knock on wood) she's pretty much trained. She has been going strong since Sunday night, has had 2-3 accidents total, wakes up dry after nap, and woke up dry 2 nights in a row. She finally pooped on the potty last night after holding it for 4 days. It was huge and she was so proud of herself. I am so proud of my little girl! She is really growing up.
-Bianca is walking now. It has finally become her preferred mode of transportation. I'm sooooo happy she finally accomplished this. It is the cutest thing. I have video and I will post as soon as we figure it out!
-We hired a nanny, Sara. She is fantastic. The girls really loved her from the instant she walked in the door. It was a big thing to see that and I have all the confidence that she will take over where I left off. She starts Monday and I am more than excited to have her here.
-Valentine's Day was uneventful. Not much happened around here. The girls were in rare form last night causing some stress for the hubby and I. I just wanted to go to sleep so the day could be over.
-Realized that Bianca is cutting a molar. OUCH. Poor baby. That is her reason for being crabby. Annika was constipated, that's her reason. The girls were crabby, that's my reason, and Brian's.
-My happy pills are really helping. Thank goodness for them!
-I feel ok, tired and extremely achy. But, the contractions have been kept at bay, for now. I've been doing my best to sit and relax. I've realized in the last few weeks that I have control issues. I never realized how anal I am about things, but I really am. It's pretty bad. But that's a whole other post on me being crazy!
-No big plans for the weekend. We want to install our new floor, but that's not going to happen any time soon. I think we'll just spend some time at home and stay warm!
Hope you all have a great weekend. I'll post video when I get a chance. Adios!
I love your daughter's names! Just beautiful!

Constipation and molars? Ouch. Poor babies!
I am glad to hear you hired help.
Yeah for B on walking and Annika potty training. How exciting?!
I am a control freak, too. If I am not in control of a situation, I start to get all crazy. Don't worry.
I am glad to hear that your contractions are gone for the time being.
Hope you have a great weekend. Write when you can. :) I am off to a baby shower for Jade's cousin. :)

Yay it sound like everything is going pretty good. You never really realize the control issues until you don't have any control.
