Today is April 3rd and my due date is May 3rd! I am so happy to be in the final days of this pregnancy. I know I am the lamest blogger ever but hey the past couple of months have been rough. There are some really cool things that have happened though. About a month ago we took the plunge and got rid of the binkies. Gianna is 2.5 and we knew we needed to get rid of them before the baby arrived. It was a tough couple of weeks but I am so happy we did it and this week are finally back in our routine. She is napping again, falling asleep quickly and never asks for binkies.
Then 7 days ago we started potty training. It has gone better than I could have imagined. We have only had about 2 accidents. I know staying dry at night will take time but I am just excited to be moving on from diapers. I took the advice of a friend and when she would pee or poop we didn't make it a big deal. I just told her, "Thank you so much for going poop in the potty momma loves that I don't have to change your poopy diapers."
We also got a minivan in February. It is so nice to have a car that can fit both of our kids.
Here are some pictures that my sister took over the past couple of months.
I have not taken pictures or written any notes down about Gigi since January. This baby has been putting me through the ringer.

31 weeks...my sister loves this picture but I think it is pretty silly
35 weeks, trying to look as happy as possible
I am very excited to deliver this baby and look forward to having a gentle, natural, easy birth. We took 5 weeks of hypnobirthing classes which were amazing. I thought it was going to be really weird but turns out it is simply training yourself to go into a state of deep relaxation. If you want to see what I am talking about you can watch the following video on youtube. WARNING: it shows boobs and stuff.
Although this has been a tough 9 months, God has given me an amazing support system. My family has taken care of me in ways I could not have imagined. I will post again after our little baby arrives. Can't wait to finally meet the little person who has been growing inside of me.
