EAT
Well, I've progressed to the part of pregnancy in which I want to stuff my face all day. Nauseated Rachel wasn't sure this day would come. It is here. And I love it. Please excuse me while I go eat my 5th piece of pizza (the one I was saving for Husband). I am fairly certain it won't be my last (sorry, Husband). I had this little conversation with the baby (I need to stop calling her that) while we were eating my 4th piece of pizza tonight. I really thought she'd have been full by then and I'd get the whole thing to myself.
My cravings are the same this time around as the first time: cheese and Chinese. Tonight during my devotions I was reading: "They made hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing..." But instead of "wanton" I read "wonton" and got distracted for the next 8 verses. Last week Husband and I went on an unsuccessful Chinese buffet crawl. All we found was dim lighting, shriveled meat, and near-empty platters. Needless to say, we might soon be driving 2 hours to visit Grandpa Miller. Because he always takes us out the Chinese buffet place with good lighting, too many selections, and delicious everything. And because we love Grandpa Miller.
In honor of my insatiable appetite, I am sharing a recipe with you today. Except I'm not positive that it's the right recipe because it's bookmarked on the other computer. I really should sync my browsers. In any case, I made these English muffins and they were easy peasy and oh so yum! The trick is to cook them in a skillet instead of baking in the oven. Who knew?!
SLEEP
Well getting rid of paci went well. But sleep training kind of came to a halt there. Mostly because I have no spine. I cannot listen to her cry for longer than an hour. I simply cannot. I don't really think it's wrong, but I cannot do it.
POOP
So we're potty training instead. It's been two days of running around in the nude and we're about tied on our accidents vs. successes tally. My weekly pregnancy updates informed me that this week, baby 2 is urinating in the womb. Perfect timing. All my babies are floating in a big mess of pee. I may end up spending more in paper towels and bleach than I was spending on diaper! Also, question. Boiling things sanitizes them, right? Does it sanitize urine on potatoes? I hope so. They did taste a little on the salty side. How long does it take a 16 month old to get the hang of going on the potty? I feel like 2 days should be enough so I'm expecting a good performance tomorrow. She did poop on the potty twice today. I could get used to that. But I won't. Because in 6 months, we're starting over.
New Feature: Husband Quotes!
My husband says a lot of funny things. So I'm adding this new feature that will appear randomly in posts.
Scene: downpour. thunder. lightening.
Husband: (with total sincerity) I think I should go clean the gutters now.
No, I did not let him. One of us has some sense.

"Do you know how long it's been since I've gotten to eat all of something without sharing it with you?"
*Nods. Opens mouth for more.*
"Okay, fine. It was this afternoon when I ate lunch at work. That wasn't a good illustration of my point."
