Progress

This past I've been experimenting quite a bit with Lydia's nap schedule. First I tried putting her to sleep around 2 PM, but she would only sleep about an hour and fifteen minutes max. Then on Thursday I tried giving Lydia two naps again to see how she would do, and she slept just over an hour each nap. So, after much thought and advice from my friends, pediatrician, and obgyn who has 15 month old twins of her own, I have decided to try giving Lydia one nap a day at noon-ish. Maybe she was overly tired by the time 2 PM rolled around, who knows, but we'll try it out and see how it goes. Lydia usually sleeps 12 hours at night regardless of how many naps she takes anyways.

Yeah, so I had my 31 week doctor's appointment today and everything went well. I only gained a couple of pounds since my last visit, but my belly is now nice and round. I feel the Braxton-Hicks contractions more this pregnancy than I did when I was pregnant with Lydia (I don't think I even really felt them last time); I guess what they say is true...future pregnancies are more emphasized.

Remember how I mentioned that we wanted to potty train Lydia before the baby was born? Well, we weren't really going to push it since Lydia is still young though we still encouraged her to sit on the potty when we went and still said "potty" and "poo-poo". Thursday and today Lydia decided to surprise us by saying "poo-poo" and actually going in her potty when we took her though it was pee and not poo. Still, Trung and I were delighted! Lydia tends to say "poo-poo" after she actually does the deed, but at least she is beginning to understand the process.
