Things I am sick of so far in this pregnancy...
1) Sneezing.... constantly
2) Being wiped out all day for the past three months.
3) People asking me if I am going to find out the sex of the baby.
4) People asking me what names we've picked out
5) How LONG it all seems to be going.
6) Always being starving!!!
Only 6 months left for baby number two.....

Fat Lips Are the Easiest to Heal
Yet again, my son has fallen into the coffee table. I've always thought those bumper pads were kind of ridiculous to cover your tables in, but I am beginning to think they do serve a great purpose. This is at least the 6th time my son has gotten hurt on the table. Honestly, our space is too small anyway to have the coffee table in it. We should just get a couple of side tables and get rid of the coffee table.
It was the pull the chair out from underneath you sort of deal. As I was moving the table back to the center of the room, I think he went to lean on it, not realizing I had moved it. So he face planted into the side and hit is lip. I watched it happen so I grabbed him up quick and started to console him. There was a small amount of blood on his upper lip under his nose, though I am not sure out it all worked out since he did in fact hit his lip. It became slightly blue.
The best part of a fat lip is the healing/soothing that comes right after. I gave him his Pooh Bear ice pack as I usually do. Whenever he gets hurts and I hand it to him, instead of placing it on his injury he just sucks on it. Today that worked out well. Another great alternative though would have also been he Otter Pops we have in the freezer. They soothe their lip with ice while eating a treat. I suppose any variation on frozen treat would work in this matter. Ice cream, Popsicle, fruitsicle etc.

No Sleep!
I'm not sure why, but for some reason when my son refuses to fall asleep I get more annoyed than with anything else he does.
On one hand I feel that maybe it is due to the fact he has always been such a wonderful sleeper. He has pretty much always slept through the night, on his own, and as he got older he began walking himself to bed. So it makes me wonder if maybe the disruption of that perfect sleeping baby schedule is what sets me off.
On the other hand it could just be the fact that I do not feel the ability to completely let lose and relax and focus on myself until he is asleep. When he refuses to sleep I keep him in his bed, and he fusses off and on, but mostly entertains himself or calls for me. However, I still have my "Mommy Sensors" on and I cannot get to into something when I know he will be crying or calling for me any moment. Even if I do not run to him with every sound he makes, like I said, the "Mommy Sensors" are still screaming in my head telling me to listen to my offspring.
I remain patient with him, and those days I get highly annoyed he never knows it. I have to remind myself when these days occur, that they are pretty rare and overall he is such a wonderful and easy child to deal with. I can only hope this next one will be just as easy. At least they have a great role model of an older brother to look up to.
