Ch..Ch...Ch....CHANGES!!!

Hello there!! I know it's been awhile!! Opps, life has gotten a bit busy!! So many things pulling us in 15 million different directions!!! So let me just drop the biggest bombshell...are you ready for this?? The Johnston's are expecting Baby J #2!! Yep you read that right!! #2 is due Dec 3rd, yes I said the 3rd of Dec(yep 8 days after Lane's birthday). That wasn't really our plan, however we all know that, the man upstairs likes to laugh at our plans when he shows us his plans!! We were in complete shock! As you know with Lane it was a 4 year journey!! This one was a 1 month journey!! How awesome is that!! Okay, so I will give you more details in a bit but let me catch you up on everyone!! We just got back from a wonderful vacation! We went with my best friend and her family to Hilton Head, SC!! WOW!! Loved it there, wish we could move there!! Okay maybe not live there full time but at least part time!! LOL..Lane loved it!! He loved the beach, of course he lived in the sand(he is such a boy) but towards the end of the week he really liked getting in the ocean!! JJ had a great time also! He got to play golf at 2 different beautiful course!! As for me, I had a great relaxing time, for Mother's Day JJ and Lane scheduled a Ocean Side Cabana Massage!! Let me just say I could get used to that!! All in all it was a great trip!! However we realized that this would be the last vacation with just the three of us(not going to lie it made me a little sad, which I will drive into later). JJ is still working at Pharmcare! He loves it there(as much as you can love work) and he loves everyone he works with!! He is going to be able to take about 2 weeks off for when the baby is born! He is attending the Big 12 Baseball Tourney this weekend(my parents get him and my brother tix each year)! He is pretty excited about that guy time!! Lane is doing great!! He is so excited that he is going to get to be a big brother and talks to anyone that will listen. He kisses my belly all the time and says he can't wait for baby sister to get here (we don't know yet but Lane and I think it's a girl, JJ wants a boy). He is still going to Messiah MDO!! He is in the Busy Bee class now(that would be the oldest class) He starts the Preschool 3 program come the fall!! He amazes us each day!! His new thing is to come up to me and say "Mommy, you are so pretty and I like you"! Melts my heart each time!! As for me!! Well I am doing better! God knew what he was doing when he gave me us an easy pregnancy with Lane! This one hasn't been so easy!! The day we found out, I was feeling horrible and just told JJ that he should bring home a test!! I took it that night and was in complete shock!! From that day on I have been sick to my tummy and extremely tired!! Finally this week, I have had more energy but still having bouts of sickness(thank goodness for medicine) I am hoping for a little girl this time around, I would love to have a female version of Lane!! I have been working the MDO as a teacher since Oct of 2011!! I love it!! Well I think I have made you read enough for the moment!! Hope everyone is well!! Love you all

Baby Boy one day, Big Boy the next

Where has the time gone! Sorry I haven't updated on the potty training but things have gotten a little crazy here! Go figure! Well Lane is potty trained it took about a week but we are in undies all the time now! We put a pullup on him at night just in case!! He has does done so well!! When he goes to the potty he ask if we are proud of him!! It's been nice not having to buy diapers or pull ups for the last month!! LOVE IT!! It's hard to believe that my "baby" is going to be 3 in 2 months!! Where has the time gone!! I remember thinking about finally meeting him, then getting to bring him home, then all the first. Now I have a big boy, who is potty trained, who is can recognize number, who can spell his name!! Man it goes by so fast!! So instead of thinking of the past I am going to enjoy the now!! Lane is such a joy(even if he is a monster sometimes) and I am so blessed!!

Day 7

We woke up wet this morning, we are going to work on that! We had school today, so I sent him in undies with a pullup over it!! When I picked him up at 2:30, he had no accidents at school!! YAY!! We got home and he said "Mommy, I have to poop!" So we ran to the potty and he pooped in the potty, about 30 mins later he said it again, and he pooped again in the potty! Yay Laner's!! I am so proud of you

Day 6

So Lane woke up completely dry this morning! We did great until about 10 am, he pooped in his undies!! UGGHHHH!! So he got Micky Mouse Clubhouse taken away for the day. He woke up from his nap dry also! Then he pooped in the potty this afternoon! We went out to get something to eat, and get stuff for lunches! He stayed dry! So all in all it was a good day!

Now tomorrow is a school day and I am going to send him in undies with a pull up over them, the same way we do at night!!

Days 3, 4, and 5

Sorry I skipped the updates, we went home to Hobart for the weekend!!

Day 3- Friday
He woke up wet, but we had gone out to eat with my mom and step dad and he got drink a little later than I would have liked! But we had a great day, minus pooping in his undies. We had to drive to Hobart which is a hour and half drive. We stopped in Yukon to get gas and something to eat, we let him go potty there, and got on the road. About a two miles before Hinton he said he had to potty,and we didn't want to pull over on the side of the interstate. Well he was holding it in and he leaked a little. We finally got stopped he peed some, and off we went. We had to stop in Weatherford to pick up Jamie, he peed there. We took off and got just outside of Cordell and he had to pee again. So he peed on his first dirt road! We got to Hobart with a little tiny accident., not to bad in my mind!!

Day 4-Saturday
He woke up DRY!! WTG Laner's! We had to get up and around to go to the family reunion over at the lake! He did so good! No accidents til we went to my grandparents house and he pooped in his undies! UGH!!

Day 5- Sunday
He woke up wet, but yet again he had to much to drink close to bedtime! He did GREAT all day! Playing with all of the cousins, he didn't have any accidents. Got back to my parents house, and he was playing. JJ asked him if he needed to poop, he of course said now. About 5 mins later he said "Daddy I have to pee"..Well he got in there and pooped in the potty!! Yea, Lane!! Then we had to head home. We stopped in Clinton, he went potty. Then stopped in Yukon to blow some time(we were meeting Kazi and Chris for dinner) he went potty. Got to Texas Roadhouse, went potty. Then we were eating and I asked him if he needed to potty, he said no. Well he was holding it in b/c he was talking to Alexus. He leaked a little then too. Got home went potty and he woke up dry this morning!!

All in all not to bad!! Proud of my little man. Now if we could master the pooping in the potty, we would have it made

Day 2

So Lane did GREAT last night! He got nothing to drink after 8 last night, he went potty at 8:30 and was in bed by 9! That in it's self is an accomplishment!! He went to bed with undies on with a pull up on over them, so if he had a accident it wasn't all over the bed. He woke up at 730 this morning and he was completely dry!! YIPPPPEEEE!! He had school today, so I had to send him in pullups, he had two accidents but went potty several times!! So we are making progress. Since we have been home(since 3) he has been dry (minus the poopie that he did right when we got home).

UPDATE:
We went to dinner with my Mom and Step dad, and we wore big boy undies!! He went potty before we left the house, we we got to Texas Roadhouse, off and on through the dinner, and before we left! He stayed dry the whole time.
