Mallory wore the same diaper ALL DAY LONG on Wednesday. This included a potty visit upon wake-up, four potty visits during the day at school, a potty visit at the dinner restaurant and then the cherry on top? POOP IN THE POTTY BEFORE BED!!!
Be glad I didn’t get a chance to grab the camera before Mallory flushed the toilet. :-)
She is in a training pant today at school. We’ll see what happens. Stay tuned. I’m sure you’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting for my update.

37+ week update and Miserable Mallory
Well, two days of pre-baby maternity leave down and not much relaxing yet.
I had my weekly NST and OB appointment on Monday and I took Mallory with me. Mallory was too cute telling everyone about Baby Arlo in my tummy and alternating between telling everyone it was a boy or a girl. We got to see Arlo on the ultrasound screen but I don’t know if Mallory really understood what we were looking at. Baby is still head down (good) and was SUPER active (good for the doctors, not good for my uterus) so we got to skip the …
From the mouth of babes
Overheard this weekend:
Mallory & I bought a box of Girl Scout Cookies from some scouts at Lowe’s this weekend. After we got in the car, Mallory says “We got some cookies! HOO-RAY!!!!!” and made this funny face and gesture with her hands.
Then we made a trip through the McDonald’s drive-thru. Mallory says “my french fries” and I said “no, MY french fries”. Totally serious she asks back “will you share?”.
We never made it to the Wings-Blue Jackets game on Saturday. We drove all the way downtown, telling Mallory how we were going to take the train (aka People …
A few random pictures
Background: Rick sometimes sleeps with his leg crossed over this other knee. This is an issue in the winter time because it creates this huge drafty-cave thing under our covers. Plus, his legs will sometimes start to fall to one side and it jerks him (and me) awake.
So, when Rick checked on Mallory the other night, and saw her sleeping this way, he couldn’t wait to take pictures and show me.

I posted the other day about Mallory getting into all of her barrettes. Apparently she still had some left to unpack. She grabbed that …
It’s not my imagination
I really am bigger now than I was at 40w with Mallory. Photographs don’t lie (36w with Arlo is on the left, 40w with Mallory is on the right). I think my belly looks rounder in the picture from 2006 but it’s still not as big as the picture on the left.
And if that wasn’t proof enough – my dad did the math.
That was FAST!
Holy cow this week went FAST! All of a sudden it’s Saturday morning and I’m 37+ weeks prego.
Here’s the recap.
You all know about my doctor’s appointment Monday – but the newer news related to that is:
my insurance won’t extend my physical therapy benefit for another month to allow me to see my physical therapist for my pregnancy-related back pain. I’m not sure I really understand how if pregnancy lasts MORE than 60 days, can they restrict the coverage to 60 calendar days of treatment. Additionally, I am allowed either 15 or 30 actual sessions during that 60 days, …
Four Little Fingers
And that is how old Super Cooper Duper Coops is! Mallory was excited to sing Happy Birthday to Cooper and give him fancy peanut butter treats.
Photoshop Comments
As I mentioned before, I am messing around with Photoshop and putting different filters on almost all of my pictures. So if anything looks really gross or horrible, PLEASE comment and tell me that my adjustments suck!
No juice for you
Mallory & I were heading downstairs for our morning juice today and she yelled at Cooper:
“You can’t have any (juice), Cooper! You don’t have hands! You aren’t big, you are a dog!”
(We talk about her having juice because she’s a big girl, so I’m guessing that’s where she gets the “you aren’t big” part being a requirement for Cooper to be allowed to have juice).
36w3d Baby Arlo update
Just real quick – had my weekly appointment today and non-stress test. Baby Arlo looked fabulous on the monitor, nice heart accelerations, etc. I am nervous that EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON who has observed this baby on an ultrasound or monitor has commented on how active the baby is.
Anyway, the nurse was reading over the little printout thing that the monitor spits out and said something like “…I see some contractions…”. I was like “WHAT THE $%&#??” I haven’t felt much of anything contractions-wise ever since I quadrupled my water intake after my trip to triage back in January. Plus, I’ve resigned …
