Still coughing a tad, but nothing serious. I am being overly cautious though. I don't want to feel like I am better and then get all worse again. So still drinking lots of water. I have a dry throat alot since it was raw feeling there..I am glad that I am kicking it pretty quickly, actually.
Today I didn't do too much. I was up at 2am, and then didn't go back to bed until 6am, and then was up at 7:30 when Matthew rang for us. I tried napping later this afternoon, but I am just too uncomfortable to really nap. If I lay on my right side, my arm and hand go numb and fall asleep, and then it is super painful when the feeling comes back into it. If I lay on my left side, my hip gets really, really sore and I wake up in pain from that. So..I really want one of those sofas that are shaped like an L...the ones that have a chaise lounger built into them. I just cannot get comfortable at all at night. I remember this with Matthew too though, only with him, it was much earlier in the pregnancy that the insomnia kicked in. I do feel a bit lucky that it has only just started the past couple of weeks. I am nervous about taking sleep remedies this late during the pregnancy so I just suffer through it.
Tomorrow is Wednesday. I can't believe how fast time is going. I will pack Matthew and Daddy's bag tomorrow so that they are all set. I didn't want to pack it too early and have to rewash a ton of clothing..I am trying to not wash clothes right now as it is too much!
Matthew has been a good boy the last couple of days..we are really reinforcing him when he is doing good things, and I see it is helping alot.
Tonight we went by Grandma's and Aunt Michelle's and I gave them the spare set of the keys and their schedule for the trip..Dylan was his normal self..ya know freaking out everytime Matthew touched anything..Matthew was telling him to stop shouting at him, and Dylan was getting in his face, so what does Matthew do? He kicks him in the chin. **shakes head.** Okay, this is going to sound really bad..and I will never tell him this, but sometimes I think inside when he does things like that that he isn't bad for doing that..why do I then have to discipline him for sticking up for himself when Dylan's mommy clearly didn't care that he was all up in Matthew's face yelling and shouting and being a snot to Matthew?
Yes I know..in the real world, we just can't kick people in the face when they piss us off. Can you imagine your boss getting on your back and you turning around and kicking him in the face? So I won't let him do it..but sometimes I just want to high five him for doing it..told you it was bad of me, but I am so tired of other kids having zero discipline and we try so hard with Matthew. We teach him to talk about his feelings..if kids are in his face shouting, he says, "Don't shout at me, talk to me." he tries so hard at sharing and taking turns with kids..he does a great job at at least trying..(it is with us as adults at home he tests us.)
So..I usually feel bad making him say he is so sorry for doing something that feels so natural to him. He tries so hard to not be the bad kid by being open with his feelings and saying "you need to share, or it's your turn now.." and then when it fails on him, he just loses it. I want to know that we are doing everything right, but it is nights like this that makes me wonder.
