Potty training news:
Well "Operation: Sink or Swim" didn't exactly go as planned. We have decided to stop training for now due to her lack of "go-ability". The pediatrician recommended waiting another month and trying again so that she will not get a bladder infection from holding it for so long (i.e. 12-14 hours at a time). Yes, 12-14 hours. Oh, the misery. She still doesn't like to be in a wet diaper and is still somewhat holding it in. We ask for your prayers for her to overcome this fear she has and for wisdom on our part in teaching her.
Baby Anderson news:
We believe that the new baby's name will be............. JACK HENRY ANDERSON. Stay tuned though, as it has the potential to change at any time. I am scheduled for a C-section on June 17th at 12pm. Wow!! That is only 8 weeks and 2 days away. This time has just flown right by and there is still so much to do. We had our 3D ultrasound on Saturday for my Mother's Day gift from Mark and the girls. It was so much fun. I have had more fun watching the video since the appointment. There was so much that I missed lying on that table that you can see on the video that they gave us. He really looks like a real baby complete with chubby cheeks. The still pictures don't do it justice but they are sweet, too.
Annie news:
Annie will be a first grader in 5 weeks!! That doesn't seem possible. She has come so far this year. Her handwriting is soooooo much better. When the year started off, that was by far our biggest struggle and now she does so well. Her spelling is truly fantastic. She is so excited about the possiblity of being in a spelling bee next year at King's Academy. If we get into King's we should be receiving our letter of acceptance during the last week of April or the first week of May. I pray that everything works out. We have really enjoyed having her at home this year and hope to continue to do so next year. This week she has double ear infections and pink eye. Strange, because she rarely gets sick. She is feeling much better now and the doctor said by Monday she could be around other children.
Ella news:
I can't leave out little Ella. She is getting so big and yet just a baby still. I love the dimples that she still has on top of each knuckle and how her feet are still chubby like a baby's. You can still squeeze those cheeks, too. She will miss being the baby of the family I think. She is looking forward to being a big sister, though. She wants to be called "Sissy". I hear it all day long, "Mom, don't call me Ella. Call me sissy!" and she requests the same treatment from Annie. She is ever looking forward to the dance recital in May. She asks almost daily if it is time for her "puh-cital". She will be very sad when the dance year is over but they are both already signed up for next year (not on a Monday!!!!!).
That's about all the news for now with our family.
