Some of my random thoughts on motherhood.

1. Why do we moms not tell each other the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Why do we fudge it? Is it so we look like a super, awesome, got it all together mom? Because I will be the first to say I am not. I love being real with moms when they ask me questions. I leave nothing out and tell it like it is (at least our run in with whatever it is in question).

For instance potty training. Most of you know I am in the throws of potty training with Lo. (We are on week 6 in case you were wondering). Things were going super great after week two. And after the superb week 4 we had {1 accident all week} I was nearly ready to announce my child was {daytime} potty trained!

Then week 5 hit. This child was having 3-4 accidents each day! I did not expect regression...what have I done wrong? And she is too little to "ask" like all the websites suggest. So we bucked up and kept going. Now we are doing better again. Back to 1-2 accidents per day.

My point. Is that I was feeling like other kids (even at 18/19 months) were getting the potty training thing and mine wasn't. Truth. They probably aren't doing any better than my daughter, they just aren't telling me the whole truth. Shoot I am even learning those who wait to potty train when their kids are 2-3 have these same troubles, but no one wants to admit "defeat."

I promised I would be honest about potty training for those of you interested in my experience. So there you have it. Some of you may {still} think I am crazy for potty training so "early," but I don't mind running a marathon with her, it takes practice and time no matter what age you start.

2. I am a little freaked out about having TWO kids. I just can't wrap my mind around it. Thankfully I still have like 4 months to, but I still don't think that will be enough time. How on earth am I going to do this?!

3. I am not sure anything has tested my faith more and trust in God than having my babies. I had to trust God with my fertility issues, and now I have to trust God with our son. I am not sure what this new life will bring us, but I know we will be able to handle it no matter what it is.

We had our specialist appt last Thursday. It went well and I will blog about it more in depth soon. I promise. But it has left me with questions and causing me to put all my fears in God's ever capable hands.

I guess I will leave it there on my random motherhood thoughts, although I have many more! HA! Happy Monday Everyone!
