Big Girl Potty!

So today Laney and I ventured out to Buy Buy Baby (one of my new favorite stores here in TX) to buy her a big girl potty chair. I know she is only 18 months old but she keeps telling me when she has to go potty, then she leads me to her room to change her diaper. So, I figured I should take advantage of it and see if we can start the potty training process! I also bought her a book with pictures of a big girl using the potty and some stickers. Of course she had strong opinions when it came to choosing a potty chair. I found a cute one that sang songs and even made a flushing noise but when I asked her if she wanted that one she said, "No, no". She, of course, picked out a pink one with a nice comfy seat and hugged it all the way to the check out counter. She kept doing the baby sign for potty the whole way home it was so funny. I told her after her nap we would start using the big girl potty. And so the process begins! I will let you know how this adventure goes!

What a day!

Well today was the day Laney was supposed to have her MRI... that's right I said supposed... it almost didn't happen. Somehow there was some sort of "miscommunication" between radiology and us... (eye roll). We showed up this morning bright and early 30min prior to our appointment time as directed by the the hematology nurse. As we checked in to register the lady held up a post it that said, "reschedule- Late". Garrett and I both looked at her confused and then we were directed to the radiology dept. where they told us we were supposed to be there 2 hours before our appointment. At this point were were still 45 min away from our appointment time. Of course Laney was not able to eat since the night before and so she was cranky asking me for milk and crying while Garrett had a "discussion" with the man from MRI. (Garrett was told he needed to be respectful when he raised his voice and told the man he had to take time off work) ...(eye roll #2). So after a brief "exchange of words" in the waiting room he told us we had missed our appointment and we would have to reschedule for some time next month. We headed up stairs to see Laney's hematologist since we were supposed to have an appointment there after the MRI. At this point Mommy was crying, Laney was crying for food, and Daddy was pissed!!
As we checked in for our appointment they asked us why we weren't in MRI... we relayed the whole story and watched as one of the doctors picked up the phone walked out of the room and back in a few minutes later saying, "someone will meet you here in a few min to pick you up for the MRI." Of course it was the same guy... elevator ride was very awkward! 6 hours later and a few more bad moments (lost a diamond earring, they forgot to draw labs and to had to poke her while she was awake, and more) we were finally able to bring her home. Raspy little voice from the breathing tube and drunk from the medicine.
The good news is the mass appears to slowly be shrinking and not getting bigger! The latest plan is to just keep watching it. We dont have to go back until May! yay:) Thanks everyone for your prayers today we really needed them to stay sane:) (I will try later to upload the video Garrett took of drunk Laney:)
