{Reality vs. Hollywood} {Update on Tanner}

If you get into The Bachelor then you will understand this post, but if you don't then i would assume this post isn't for you. On the last Bachelorette show Deanna was the main girl. I thought she seemed awesome, had a strong head on her shoulders, seemed to know exactly what she was looking for and wasn't going to mess around. I was very shocked when she picked Jesse. Jason seemed perfect for her. I remember feeling so bad for him in the end when he got dumped. His heart was broken. Not only that but Jason's heart was "supposedly" broken when his Ex-wife left him. He has a son. I just felt bad for him. When he became the next Bachelor for this season i was sooooooo excited. I had to watch it! He seemed like a great guy. He sincerely didn't want to hurt anyone and really seemed to want to get it RIGHT with the next woman he picked. I had been very impressed with the kind of guy he is throughout each episode, until last night! Before picking Melissa Deana came to see him and said she knew she made a mistake. She realized that she should have picked Jason. Yup, i knew that one. So, Jason proposed to Melissa, which is who i wanted him to pick. She seemed perfect for him. It all seemed great and i was so happy for both of them. But then, suddenly, 10 minutes later he is dumping Melissa on television in front of America to say he wants to have a shot with Molly instead....wow, that is as low as you can get. I was in complete shock at what he was doing. Yeah, sure, he needs to be true to how he is feeling. Understand that. I understand that you can't do what other people want and you have to do what is right for YOU. I understand that you can NEVER make everyone happy. Besides, Its not about everyone, its about you being true to yourself and doing what makes you happy. Afterall, we can't expect him to stay with someone that he just doesn't have feelings for anymore. I understand that, but it is the WAY he did it that made me so mad. And also how quickly he was able to move onto Molly after proposing and announcing his love for Melissa just a few weeks before. How does that make sense at all? Real LOVE doesn't turn off like that....so that makes me think he never loved Melissa...so then why did he pick Melissa? WEIRD. Not only that, but he knows that Melissa has been hurt many times. He knows that she has been the one to be dumped everytime and she is tired of being the dumpee....so he thinks, why not dig a knife into the wound? She hasn't been hurt enough nor dumped enough so i think i will propose to her, make her think her chance has finally come, and then 6 weeks later DUMP her in front of America and tell her i want to try with Molly. Yikes. Just take that knife and dig it deeper and deeper. Not only that but he doesn't show any remorse for what he is doing to her...not the way he showed remorse when he dumped Molly.
Eeewww...that made me so mad. Horrible. Horrible. I completely saw him in a different way after that happened. But hey, that happens. Nobody is perfect and just b/c television made him appear like a Prince Charming doesn't mean he is one. That is the bad thing about t.v. They portray things in a way that just isn't reality...and we fall for it. They show us all the BEST things about these people, and leave out ANY imperfections...imperfections that exist in EVERY person. He is human and that is all we can expect from him, right?


UPDATE on Tanner: After an entire day of wet pants from Tanner, around dinner time he finally told me he had to go pee-pee and went to the toilet and went pee. This morning he told me he had to poo, so he went to the toilet and went poo. He told me later he had to pee, so he went pee pee AGAIN on the toilet. In the meantime, he is still having accidents, but he is catching on! I am excited! :) By the way, staying at home and having to set a timer for every 20 minutes all day long is very tiring, but it is worth it i know. :) By the end of the day we have 2 days down and 5 more to go!


UPDATE on Baby: I am 24 weeks along now. Our baby has caught up with an ear of corn in size and gained about 1/4 pound since last week. (Length: almost a foot.) He weighs over a pound.
