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.

Baby #2 on the way

I will finally announce that we are going to have a baby girl July 25th. I haven't had much time to think about it with moving to our new house and staying busy with Tacoma. I would like to tell everyone just in case they see me and wonder if I have gotten really fat or pregnant. maybe I am both but any way I am so excited.

Mother of five for a week

Abuela with Mauriella, Tacoma, Kate, Sam, and Andrew Tacoma with his glasses Jumping on the Tramp with all of Stephs kids Tacoma hangin out with Emily's kids Mason and Kache Me and Tacoma came up to Logan the day after we moved in to our new house in Price. So we still have boxes everywhere. Steph and Ben went to Florida and she asked me to take care of her kids from the 18th to 25th. Now I know why Steph is so tired all the time. It is hard work. It feels like I jumped in to run a marathon with out training for it. Steph has at least build up endurance to go to Logan from Wellsville 5 times a day for Piano lessons, soccer practice, Ballet, gymnastics and grocery shopping. I have jumped from one child to 5 in one week and I am totally exhausted. I am not going to have five children under the age of 7 from this experience. I have had fun but have lost my temper a few times. It is more tiring to help each child do their chores than clean the whole house myself and takes twice as long. the 3 and 5 year old like to destroy the house when I am not looking and the 8 year old loves to argue her way out of everything.
