Can't a girl be sick without being pregnant?!?

I don't know how I got through yesterday. I had THE headache of all headaches and a daughter who tested my limits the entire day! Not only was I queasy as eff...I had to feed her food, change her diapers and be all involved with playing when all I wanted to do was lay down and close my eyes...I guess this was just a test to see if I can take care of Kenzie and have another baby.....I'm a big baby.

I always get asked if I'm pregnant when I say I'm not feeling well. I get horrible migraines that result in horrendous nausea. NO! I'm not pregnant! I'm on the pill, not by choice, and I take it religiously. I have an app for that. I really do, Pill Reminder.

I was sick ZERO days when I was pregnant with Kenzie. I remember feeling better than I have ever felt...seriously! I was extremely lucky to be able to experience my pregnancy with only hormonal side effects and no tummy issues. I was mean. I cried on the spot. I could not be pleased in any which way. I had heartburn CONSTANTLY and I felt like somebody crushed my tailbone (when I gained TONS of weight), therefore I waddled horribly....
My luck, next time around I will be sick as a dog and hating life. Let's just hope by the time it happens again Kenzie will be easier to manage.....

Potty training is on the top of our list. I definitely want Kenzie to be potty trained by her 2nd birthday. That's a goal . So far we are just testing the waters and seeing if SHE is ready, even though I have been ready since she started eating solid foods! (Yuck!) Any time she stick her hand down her shorts I try and take her to the potty. Next step, probably strating next week, we are going to go to the potty right when she gets up, before lunch, before nap, after nap, before dinner and before bath time and maybe before bed time. This is a test for me to see if I can take the challenge of potty training. My mom had my sister and I (17 months apart) potty trained between 18months and 2 years. I get a lot of advice from her so I'm hoping this stuff will work on Kenzie, my evil twin! She is the spitting image of me when I was a tot, temper and all :)
Kenzie still has the "binki." I was bound and determined to take it away at 6 months. That was BEFORE the horrid teething days. I don't even know what I was thinking wanting to take it away so early. Now we are pretty good at offering it only at nighttime and when she first wakes up in the morning or nap time I let her have it for a while. It's her comfort. I'm okay with that. Being the nerd I am I have researched and they say by 3 it should be gone because until then the roof of their mouth is still soft and it starts to form around 3. Our goal is by 2.

We did nix the bottles at 12 months and that's the best thing I ever did. She drinks out of cups. It was actually easy because she never really like bottles anyway. She preferred the boob until I failed at my end when she was hospitalized. Long story short, she wasn't a fan of the bottle and that made it soooo easy on me!

This is Kenzie's first injury of the day. Another trait she inherited from me...prone to injuries. Although she has only been in the hospital once at 4 weeks old for Whooping cough (pertussis) and all other injuries have been minor.

Right between the eyes. That's what I looked like a few weeks ago when we were moving (except my nose was SWOLLEN, Kenz has a red bump/scratch.) I dropped a computer monitor on my face, Kenzie the copycat fell face first into her toy crate. This is the best picture I could get because she refused to hold still. She wanted to look at picture of herself. Oh geez.
