Potty Trips


So even though as a woman you are warned of frequent trips to the restroom while you are pregnant I could have never imagined that it would be quite so many. Just the simple task really drains a person (no pun intended!) when you have to complete it so many times in a given day. Just when you think "I should be able to make it for awhile now..." There comes the sudden urge again. Although I had great respect for mothers before I really appreciate all that women endure for children. I know the reward at the end is great so that's what keeps you moving, even if it is to the restroom all the time! I think I need to get one of these...pictured to the left :) It's a potty you can take anywhere!!!

I love to read where our baby is at each stage in the pregnancy...this is how little Olson is doing now at week 14..."Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb."--babycenter.com

How cool is that! Hopefully he/she thinks I am funny and smiles at my jokes!
