The last couple of weeks have been exhausting. Just when I think maybe I'll take the time to post an update, I feel like I just can't. The whole process started with flying to my mom's house two weeks ago. Flying with little ones is exhausting in and of itself. Then we began the adventure of staying in one house, then moving to another, back to mom's house, then switching rooms, etc... and quite frankly all that adjustment is hard--on Aubrey and mommy. Our time in Florida wasn't really a "vacation" because we were actually there for my mom's wedding. This meant that the majority of our time was already planned out and, well, kind of exhausting. There were some highlights, like spending time with my mom, driving the golf cart, swimming, enoying the Florida rain, but overall, I came home in need of a vacation from vacation! Of course, my flight was cancelled, my new flight was delayed and I ended up getting home at midnight our time which was actually 3 am Florida time...whew.
Three days later after conquering laundry, etc, Justin's parents graciously offered to take Aubrey for the weekend while we got away to the coast to celebrate our anniversary. It was wonderful! The weather was amazing and it was just so relaxing. While we were gone, Grandma Kim got us started on round 2 of potty training. I was so hopeful that this time would be different, better than last time. I came home rejuvinated and ready for the adventure.
3 days into the process at home, I'm emotionally worn out. I want her to succeed, but more than anything I just want her to GO potty, in her pants, on the ground...especially in the toilet, but I don't really care about the details. She's a holder and I really can't handle seeing her in pain. Hopefully the doctor will have some answers because I don't know what to do. Believe me, if you suggest it, I've tried it. She---just----doesn't----get----it!
Whew...what a process! I'll post some pictures later, but had to get the rambling out for now.

so sorry barbie:(
please keep us posted.
Finn was over 3 when he was trained.
I know you are NOT asking for advice...but here are my measly unwanted 2 cents:)
perhaps let her decide when she is ready? Less pressure? Maybe she just isn't ready yet! she's still young.
love you and i hope for the best!
Ok, just the Florida trip alone. Woooooow. Wow, wow, wow. I'm glad you posted. You are such SUCH a good Mommy to 2 (I think being pregnant is so much harder than when they're actually here), and Aubrey is blessed- to say the least. You are tuning into her needs and not pushing it. I hope the dr appt is encouraging.
oh wow, you must be SO exhausted. I can't even imagine. Hopefully you've been able to rest up a bit since then and feel like you've recovered some.
poor Aubrey :( And poor mama too! That sounds miserable for both of you. I hope you can figure it all out... she may not be ready yet. Annabelle was kind of a "holder" too, but she seemed to be able to let go before she was actually in pain, thankfully. Let us know how it goes!!
Oh my goodness I forgot about the wedding,(I didnt realize it was soo soon) And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! A few days late...and can't wait to read what the doctor said.
xo
mish
You poor thing! I am so sorry, but I know it will happen eventually, you don't see a lot of not potty trained grownups walking around =) Keeping you in my prayers! You are such a good mommy, she will get it soon! Potty training and being pregnant ... oi!
Down here in Peru the kids are definitely not "holders" they piss just about wherever they please... huh...well, I guess that goes for the adults as well now that I think about it.
