The future

My son decided today to have one of his worst tantrums ever!  I was too tired to battle with him, so after I asked him several times firmly to "stop", I finally pulled out my camera.  I couldn't help but laugh through the whole thing.  I started to see glimpses of the future and tantrums out in public with an almost 3 year old and a newborn.  I am SO thankful that he will be closer to 3 by the time the new baby is born.  That is exactly the way I wanted it.  I know tons women who have 2 under 2 and I don't see how they do it!

My fatigue caught up with me today and I finally had to give in and take a quick nap.  My hubby watched little man for awhile so I could crash.  The next thing I know, he's bursting into the bedroom with our screaming toddler while he is on the phone.  He hands him off to me while he darts out to finish his conversation.

Naptime was over.

I've been doing SO well at cutting back on my caffeine.  I am a full-on Mt. Dew drinker all day, every day for the most part.  Before I got pregnant, I was doing my best to cut back.  I am so proud of myself and try to limit my intake to one a day.

I did have to give in and have one to help wake me back up after my nap.  I think I could have slept all day!

Tomorrow, the hubs, the tot and I are heading over to the Dr.'s office so I can pee in a cup.  I've never been so excited about peeing in a cup in my life!

I'm still unsure as to when I will tell my family.  I am not superstitious by any means and we told them about our son when I was only 4 or 5 weeks along.  I feel that if something were to happen, they would find out anyway, so there is no need to keep such a wonderful secret.  I will probably wait to announce on my other blog, facebook and to friends when I am around 10 weeks.  We'll see how long I can hold it in!

My symptoms today have been almost non-existent (except for the fatigue).  I had a little upset stomach this morning, but my boobs don't hurt that bad and I've had no cramping.  If things go like they did the last time, I will start to feel pregnant around 6 weeks.  I am hoping and praying I don't get my "evening sickness" as I like to call it.  From 6-10 weeks, I was nauseated EVERY night around dinner time.  I usually had to leave the room while the hubs cooked dinner.  I never threw up though!  I hope it stays that way.

Good night all!
