Taking a break

I am taking a break from the potty training! Maybe i am accepting defeat for right now, or just trying to keep both mine and Izzy's sanity in tact!!!! I am beyond frustrated and it clearly shows through to izzy and is shows in how she is reacting to going potty.

Yesterday was a very frustrating morning of a lot of "i go pee, pee, or I go potty mommy" so we would run to the potty and she would do nothing or a few drips. She woke up dry in the morning so i knew she had to go, she kept doing the pee pee dance and couldnt settle yet every time she would say she had to go then wouldn't go at all to the bathroom or would and wouldn't do anything. I even told her just go in your diaper because i am afraid now she is trying to hold it and I don't want her to end up with a bladder infection or anything. I was so frustrated after two nights ago and this morning that i wanted to scream! Her new trick is now during when she is eating she says "i go potty " adn acts like she has to go so she doesn't have to eat. while i don't want to ignore her request, it is very frustrating when you get her up from teh table and then she does nothing, then you have to put her back at the table etc. URGH!!!! I hope I didn't create this monster by pushing her too early.

So because of all of this I am going to take a little break. Now if she wants to go potty adn tells me, i obviously still have to take her, but I am going to back off on asking etc and try again when I can focus for 4-5 days and force the underwear issue.

Between her antics and my terrible cramps yesterday I couldn't take much more! Thankfully the cramps are much better today and she is at my moms so we both get a little break today.

On another note, my dr appt went okay yesterday. She wasn't too concerned but said we would keep an eye on it and follow up in a month or so if needed. It was a huge relief but I will be happy when I get the official all clear either next week when I go back for my pap or in a month if i have to go back to follow up.

The highlight of my day yesterday is when I got on teh scale at teh dr office. You see I haven't seen this dr in about 2 years becasue last year i had my pap done just by my normal family practice dr. The nurse who took me back to the room originally said she didnt' need a weight for me but then when she looked at the chart she said "wow, you certainly don't weigh what it says here, lets get your weight" the last time I was there I weighed 152 and yesterday I was 132!!!!!!....so what did i do..after my appt i stopped at Taco Bell for lunch!
