New Year, New Underpants

Abby is starting out the new year by trying out big girl underpants for the first time. So far we've made it one hour without an accident, which is actually about 45 minutes longer than I thought we'd make it. She just plain refused to put a diaper on, so we figured it would be a good time for her to learn that going potty in underpants in not the same as going in a diaper. This way she will either potty train quickly or agree to put her diapers on without a fuss. A win either way in my book right now.

We are ringing in the new year with a little living room clean up and a lot of resting. I think I started out with a cold, but probably now have a great big fun sinus infection. Since I have to see the doctor on Wednesday next week for my regular appointment I am going to try to tough it out, but it's been a rough day. I had been just dealing with nighttime breathing trouble and congestion, but I now have all day issues along with sore teeth, a headache, and overall blah feeling. Oh the joys of pregnancy and the inability to hit up the medicine cabinet.

Abby was very good at the New Year's party we went to last night, although she did fall asleep around 11:30 and missed the ball drop (but then again, so did the rest of us since we were playing a board game). Abby has been getting braver and braver around people and actually played a little with her babysitter Kitty at the party. She also demolished almost an entire red pepper and probably a pound of veggie dip. She sure loves her condiments. And, to make my day a little better, she slept in until 10 a.m. this morning after her late night escapades.
