Aww Brooke, Sorry you are feeling sick! I had the flu 3 weeks ago and then my daughter got sick 2 weeks ago ... and then she gave it back to me again. I think I have been sick since the middle of March. No fun, no fun.
Sorry, had to ask all the questions about the kiddo, cuz somedays I just feel like I do everything wrong.
We FINALLY took the pacifier away 6 days ago. Surprisingly it went VERY well. We tried it last month and it was TORTURE. I am now a firm believer that you take it away when they are ready. Since my daughter was sick and congested we decided we would try to take it away so she could breathe better out of her mouth. When she asked for it that night I told her that a fairy took it and that the fairy would bring her a baby doll the next day. Worked like a charm. Fast forward to last night and she is still asking for it but we just tell her .. "remember the fairy took it?" and she'll say "ya fairy took it, she no share" LOL.
Regarding sleep ... I dont think my daughter will ever sleep through the night. We have tried everything known to man! AHHHHHH.
You are so funny about the diapers! I guess what makes it so funny is that ... mine will go to school in diapers too! She does the EXACT same thing your daughter does ... pee's in panties and squats on floor with no panties. Grrrr. I hope that just clicks one day and viola she pee's in a pot!
I really attribute all 3 of these things to "something she can actually control". I believe my daughter wont potty train or sleep through the night ... not because she isn't smart ... I think it's because she is TOO smart. She knows what she can do to push our buttons. Grrrr. Where's the child-lock on personal buttons?? teehee
Anyhow, about TTC, I am off the market for now. I received a huge blow from my fertility clinic yesterday. I have an orange size cyst on my right ovary. Doc said these things can take MONTHS to go away OR I could possibly lose my right ovary. I'm so scared now. I think I cried the whole day yesterday. I'm sick of these set-backs.
I still hope we can keep in contact, I like chit-chattin with ya!!! Can't wait to see pics of your little brewing bean
Hope you feel better!
