Potty training Disaster

I started to potty train Tacoma with hopes that he will be potty trained before the baby gets here in July. It was the most exhausting day of my life. I didn't think it would be that hard. Any way I just let him go commando most of the day and gave him tons to drink. I set the timer so that I could put him on the potty every 30 min. Well I got him to sit on the potty for 30 min. I brought his potty to the kitchen I read him books and fed him treats. After thirty min. of nothing I let him go play five minutes later I hear some grunting so I run over pick him up and try to put him on the potty he threw a fit kicking and screaming and some poop went flying. Then he stepped on it. But we were able to get a little bit in. I thought it was a success. so I gave him tons of praise candy stickers and we went and bought him some new undies. We started again after the trip to the store. My sister called so I let him go and play when I went to find him he had pooped on the carpet. I am going to keep trying but this is messy business. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I need advice on the best double jogging stroller

Chariot cougar 2 Baby jogger performance Bob revolution duallie My husband thinks I am insane and we should wait until the baby is born but I want to have everything ready. I have been on the internet for many hours researching and reading different consumer reports on the best double jogging stroller. Most say that if you are an avid runner you need a fixed bigger front wheel this is helps to not waste as much energy and is easier to push. But than some consumers who say they run say that the Bob duallie revolution has the best swivel wheel that can lock for jogging or unlock to swivel to go to the mall. Also the Bob Duallie has an attachment to click in the baby car seat at 6 weeks. I have also been looking at the chariot cougar that you can add a fixed bigger wheel for jogging, or add swivel wheels, or you can add a bike trailer attachment. and a baby neck support for 6 months. So what is the best for running? I also don't want to have a stroller for jogging a stroller for the mall a trailer for biking too much stuff. Does any one have a suggestion hopefully something cheaper. My Husband does not like the price on these two strollers. But I want something that lasts and is the best to use.
