On Pen's & Needles..

Well Julian's poop has been transported to Portsmith Naval as of Thursday, so we are now waiting to hear back with results. Julian also has two doctor's appointments this upcoming week and I am very anxious about that as well. Although most of you do not want to hear about my son's stool, I am happy to announce that he has not had the runs since Wendesday and had his first HARD stool in a very long time (LAST NIGHT half in tub half in toliet..lol) LMAO.

Julian's blood sugar has been running a little high the last few days, and I do antcipate a change in his dosage at the next doctors appointment, but other that that Julian has been doing VERY well.
At our next appointment, I will be in tow with two 2liters of needles. We store the used needles in empty 2 liters because I do not feel safe throwing them in the trash can.

Julian is doing great with potty training, tomorrow will be a full week we have been really working hard on it (Two weeks since he has not been a diaper). The first week in pullups, it was very hard for me to keep Julian on the potty long enough to even do any 'peepee or poopoo'. So I started a rewards system, if he stayed on the potty for so many minutes, he got a sticker. Each time I pushed the timer back a minute longer each time. Finally he was enjoying sitting on the potty and the new obsticle was to get him to tell me and recognize the signs. I started using the pullups that make the private parts cool when they are activated by urine. Since using these pullups( last Monday) Julian tell us when he has to pee pee and has used the potty just about every day since. He sometimes even takes off his diaper and calls for us when he is already in the bathroom, and just needs a boost on to the throne. It is a amazing to me how fast he is catching on to this whole thing, I expected it to be much harder. Since Julian has not been having the runs like he had been, I am hoping that he will start pooing in the potty on a regular basis as well!

Josh and I are so proud of our big boy!

Enjoy.. xoxoxo
