Taking it Easy Grrr
Written by Chelle on Monday
I am so not good at “Taking it Easy”. I am trying so hard to take it easy (the spotting is back, but so not a lot just enough to notice), but I suck at it. It totally takes me back to the doctor assigned bed rest, when I was pregnant with Becca. I was miserable, stuck on the couch or in bed, bored out of my mind, pestered with thoughts of housework and the baby. This time the doctor did not say bed rest (thank god, I mean I have a toddler that is impossible), however I am trying to take it easy so I can avoid that. I am just not good at it. I mean I can be a bum, love it at times, but when I feel like I have to be a bum it feels like a chore. I am struggling today to rest, but the laundry needs to be done, the bathroom needs to be cleaned and Becca loves to play. Playing with Becca is the easy part, I can lie on the floor and play with her, but then I have this nagging feeling that I should do the dishes and finish the laundry. UGH! J is always so supportive and thankfully volunteered to go grocery shopping. But then I am ridden with guilt. The poor guy works all day then has to go grocery shopping? That sucks
On a lighter note, now that the weekend is over, I attempted to get Becca to use the potty again. lol! Well we have mastered the art of sitting on the potty, holding the pee & poop then going as soon as the diaper is back on 
I am uber happy she is willing to sit and it is only a matter of time (and luck) before we see success! We also attempted colouring with washable markers….umm yeah no…I willw ait till she does not eat the crayons!! My coffee table had scribbles all over!!!
My Dad received his new computer, so he is uber happy. All seems to be running good for him so that rocks!
Feel like some simming tonight so I am off to veg out
Oh, emailed the Doula, we are going to meet with her after Christmas!! So many things to look forward to!
That picture of Becca on the potty is a riot! Isn’t it funny how they mimic grown ups?
Keep us posted on your doctor visit! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
That’s great that Becca is in the mimic stage right now. Steven also grabs his book a does the same, although he is almost fully potty trained!!
(((HUGS))) A healthy new baby is way more important than dishes.
When you’re ready, like I said before, strip her of her diaper, you will have some accidents on the floor but it will make her aware of her own body. Good luck with the potty training!!
Also, think of it this way, 10 or 15 years down the road, will you remember that your bathroom wasn’t clean & dishes weren’t done or will you remember that you took the time to play & enjoy Becca? Something to think about….
Have a great day!
