Hello all! I am still reading everyone, I just haven't had much to say here. We still have no plans for any more interventions (although I had a dream last night that I was 40 and pregnant with a donor egg baby! Never say never lol!). Still have fingers crossed for a miracle but no such luck. I think we already got our miracle! Here is a quick pipsqueak update!
- she started nursery school for 3 mornings a week. She loves it and her teachers say she is doing great. Beginning of week 3 began crying a little when I leave her though and it makes me soooo sad! Her teachers tell me she stops as soon as I leave.
- PS has peepeed on the potty one time, and that was after sitting there with the iPad for 2 hours drinking chocolate milk. We have made a sticker potty chart which she seems obsessed with, but truthfully she doesn't seem to know when she's about to pee or poop. Like it always surprises her. So I'm assuming she's not completely ready? She's 2.75. Any tips moms?
- she still sleeps in her crib, 11-12 hours at night and 1-3 hour nap in the afternoon. I still give her a paci but only for sleep. Her dentist told me to take that away at age 3 but I don't think I'm gonna....I love sleep too much!!! Maybe by age 4?
-she doesn't hit or bite anyone, which I am very proud of. So many kids do and I think it's luck that our daughter doesn't.
-she can count to 11, count items up to 4, knows most of her colors, and sing her ABCs.
-best news - a friend IRL who has battled unknown infertility for 5 years is pregnant! She had a miscarriage after IVF #1 but was successful after #2. SO incredibly happy for her!!!! It's the first pregnancy besides my own that I have 100% completely celebrated since being diagnosed infertile. Good for my soul!!!!!
If I think of anything interesting to blog about here I will, I miss this space.

Hey there, I sometimes peek at your new blog, I will have to do so again soon. Glad you are loving Dubai and that your little miracle is doing well. It's nice to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's always nice to hear from any of us from back in the day, right? :). Hope all is well with you!!
Deletegood to hear from you! And I say yes to sleep any way possible.
ReplyDeletePotty training is tough. Follow her. She'll let you know when she is ready.
Thank you for making me feel better! :)
DeleteYour new blog is on my feedly, so I stay up to date even if I don't always have the chance to comment!
ReplyDeleteRe: potty training. We only just got there ourselves. E. was biologically ready but anxiety was holding him back. If she's not showing awareness, I wouldn't push it. I have friends who started at 2.5 and are still fighting with their kids a year later about it. Message me on f/b if you want to know any more about what we did/didn't do (I try not to write about it on the internet because I feel that violates E's privacy).
Okay thanks!! She LOVES to sit there but that's probably bc of the ipad :).
