Ben is finally back on the potty!
Ben went to the doctor a couple weeks ago. He had been saying it hurt when he pee peed, he had a fever, and his urine smelled really strong. I was afraid he had a bladder infection or something but the doct
or said that is really rare in little boys and he probably just wasn't drinking enough water. He still wanted to try to get a urine specimine from him just in case it was a infection. So we spent a couple hours at the doctors office trying to get him to pee in a cup or on the potty in one of those things that catch urine. Well, he was screaming and he did NOT want to pee! I don't know what happened b/c he was really starting to use the potty @ home. Of co
urse at home he used his potty, he didn't use the big potty. I think that maybe that was what scared him. I even called his daddy, who was at home doing homework, to come to the doctors office and maybe they could each pee in a cup! LOL It didn't work! So we went home and I started watering down his juice alot more and he hasn't complained since and his pee is back to normal. Well, ever since that day he wouldn't even try to get on his potty, but today he finally did. I was brushing my teeth and Alan was using the bathroom (TMI LOL) and Ben saw his daddy and decided he wanted to go potty! YAY! So he went and got a magazine and sat down on the potty! It was so cute! It was so stinkin cute I had to take some pics. I'm sure when he is a teenager he will kill me for posting pictures of him on his potty for everyone to see!

Today is the day!
It is 5:45am and I have been awake since 4am. Partly because the bean has been kicking my bladder, but mostly because I am too excited to sleep. In a little over 2 hours we will be looking at our bean and finally get to know what we're having. Well, hopefully we will know as long as the bean is like its momma, not shy! LOL Please keep us in your prayers that our little bean is healthy and growing good. <3

Impatient!!!!!
Man! What a week! Alan had pink eye and Ben had the funk, fortunatly I didn't get sick! (YET! Knock on wood!) Everyone is doing better and pretty much recouperated. I am soooo excited about our ultrasound Monday! I am soooo impatient! That's why I am glad the appointment is at 8 in the morning and not in the afternoon. At least I have a busy weekend, Ladies Day and 2 baby showers. Busy Busy!

Where did the time go?
I was looking through some of Ben's baby pictures and I can't believe how much of a big boy he is now. I mean, I know that he has grown of course but I still see him as my baby. I guess he always will be my baby, even when he has his own children some day. When I look at pictures of him when he was just a rolly polly little baby I realize how fast he has grown up! It just now hit me he is going to be three in a few months! That is so hard to believe. I think the reason I've 
really been thinking about this is because in a few months we are going to have another little one and it makes me think of my first little one and how he is going to be a big brother now! A BIG BROTHER! It really is hard for me to beilieve. I don't know, I guess I'm just being a hormonal pregnant woman, but this is really making me sad. My baby isn't a baby anymore, but he always will be to me.

A Chilly But Beautiful Day
Ben was feeling better today and it looked beautiful outside so I thought we would get out of the house for a bit. The wind was a little chilly but the sun felt sooooo good. It felt great to get out of the house. The only bad thing was after we came in, Ben started feeling warm and his little voice was scratchy and I think his throat was hurting. :( Who knows, it could just be allergies, because now he is fine? Who knows. At least he had fun when he was outside running around. I can't wait until we are all better and it is warm enough to go out in shorts and a t-shirt. I really want to go swimming!!!!!!!

An Update on the Elrod Family
I thought I would give everyone an update on our growing family. As all of you know Alan and I are still happily married. Our 6th anniversary is this September. We have a 2 1/2 year old son, Ben, who is ALL boy! I love my boys!
Some of you may not know that we are expecting baby Elrod #2! We are so excited. We find out if we are having a baby girl or boy a week from today on May 21st! So as of right now we call this baby "The Bean". (Thanks to Paige Todd for coming up w/ Ben and The Bean.) So be sure to check back next week to see what we are having! Here is a pic from our first ultrasound. I was only 11 weeks so you can't tell much, but he/she is still adorable!

Ben has the funk. :(
Ben woke up with a fever this morning and hasn't been feeling well all day. Bless his heart. Of course when I took him to the doctor he wasn't running a fever anymore and was acting like he felt fine. As soon as we got out to the car he started crying and felt like he was running a fever, and sure enough he was. Why does that always happen?
