Me and Trenton and new baby just before Christmas

About a week ago, I'm pretty sure the angle is hiding how big my belly actually is.

Our traditional Christmas in front of the tree picture.

Thought I would share this story.....

So my parents live in Southern California and now my Dad is a hero! He was always a hero to me, but this is really awesom! He works for Verizon and while working heard a loud dog bark. After looking around he discovered a dog stuck in a man hole. Here's the newspaper story, unfortunately they didn't name my Dad, but he is the one who found the dog, helped pump out the water, and put air in the underground vault to help keep the dog alive till rescue workers came.

Dog rescued from Romoland manhole

A dog that, as a pup, survived a house fire that killed her parents and siblings was rescued Friday by firefighters after another close call -- two days trapped in water under a manhole in Romoland.

Verizon workers heard barking and whimpering about 1:15 p.m. in a utility vault near Sherman Road and Highway 74, Capt. Rick Griggs of the Riverside County Fire Department said.

Firefighters used a video camera to locate Diamond, a 2-year-old Akita/pit bull mix, 10 feet down. They pumped out water that had flooded the vault and rescued the hungry and frightened, but apparently uninjured, dog, Griggs said.

So Trenton has been uninterested in potty training. I've offered to have him sit on his toddler potty many times and he always says "no." My mom suggested offering him a piece of candy if he'd sit on his toilet. I tried yesterday to offer him a tootsie roll and he has to sit on the potty the whole time he's eatting it. Well, he was suddenly very interested in sitting on the potty. We did this three times yesterday and twice today. The second time he sat on the potty I went to get his tootsie roll from the kitchen when I suddenly heard his potty singing, which means- (drum roll please) TRENTON WENT PEE PEE IN THE POTTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we owe him a little toy that we promised him if he actually went potty, I'm so excited I didn't think it would happen so soon. I'm sure there is still more work ahead, but congratulations on your accomplishment Trenton!!!!!!!!!!!
