UG

I think I have a lot of posts that have the title of "UG". It's just been one of those days. Nothing seemed to go right today until Nathan got home. Thank heaven for Nathan. Love that man. Easton is not doing well with potty training. He is regressing big time. He used to be able to hold it a little better and now he is having major accidents all the time. Let's not even talk about poop.

I was supposed to bring a treat to our ward BBQ so I set out to make mint brownies. Well, I had written the recipe wrong and instead of 3/4 tsp of peppermint extract I put in THREE teaspoons of it. UM WOW. I realized my error and called my mother in law who informed me of the correct amount. I was already having one of those days and I was practically in tears as I scraped off the mint icing and tried to rescue it. Then when I put on the chocolate frosting on top of the mint frosting it just kind of smeared the mint icing all over the place. After I walked away from the project for an hour I realized they weren't that bad, but still a lot of stress for a stupid dessert. I ended up eating an 8th of the pan just to make sure they truly were okay to share. YUCK

Then I went to Lincoln's 9 month appointment. He's only gained 6 ounces in 3 months. He went from like the 90th percentile to the 45th. Doctor told me it was because of his constipation issues. I feel terrible. I mean I knew he was smaller than Easton ever was but I didn't think it could be because of his bowel issues. I hope Lincoln doesn't think I am always starving him. He's not really into eating lately. He eats a little bit, but not what I think he should be. I'm sure everything will be fine. We're going to try Miralax and prunes and other things like that to help him out. I did a good job clearing him out a month ago but I guess I got lazy again and Lincoln got pickier with his food. Poor little Lincoln.

I'm excited for this weekend. BYU is playing tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get to watch some of it! GO COUGARS!
