Appetite
i have no control over my appetite, none at all. If there is something in the kitchen i want to eat i will think about it, until i give in and eat it. if im eating dinner and i want more to eat, i get more even if i dont need it. its starting to annoy me. im not use to eating so much. i mean ive always ate alot but its starting to become ridiculous.

Innocent
the other night when we were going to sleep i was talking to Vincent about Daxton, asking him things like "so will you let baby Daxton play with your toys?" and he answered yes, then we talked alittle more before he asked me "mommy, baby play with me?" it was so innocent and sweet he almost made me cry. I responded to him by saying "yes! of course the baby will play with you". Then again, the other day i had an appointment to go pick up my WIC checks and Vincent went with me, there were tons of babies in the waiting room. Vincent just stared at a baby fora few minutes just watching her every move, then he jumped off the chair he was sitting in and ran over to me and kissed my belly. It may be my hormones but this kids being so sweet hes kept me on the verge of tears for a few weeks now.

Co-sleeping- don't shun it until you've done your research
So i never really co slept with Vincent when he was an infant, i spend endless nights on the couch sleeping with him because he was so colicky it was the only way i could get sleep and the only way i felt his dad could get sleep, but before he was born we had decided he wasn't going to sleep in our bed with us because his dad is such a heavy sleeper and we only had a queen size bed, it just seemed like it was the safest choice. When we separated and i moved out of the house Vincent has been sleeping in my bed with me since then, and i like it. Ive read alot on co-sleeping and i feel it beneficial for him and i. When Daxtons born Ive decided after he out grows his bassinet he will move into the bed with Vincent and i to sleep.

A shot
last week when i went to my scheduled doctors appointment i mentioned to her that i was having contractions all the time. Mostly in the evening at night and that they lasted a minute or so and then they would release but then would come back again in a another couple minutes and she decided to hook me up to the machine that monitors your contractions. After about 45 minutes of being monitored she came in to check and said "oh my you are having contractions and they are regular, im going to need to examine you and call labor and delivery and tell them to be expecting you". After the exam she sent me down stairs to the hospital for more tests and they ended up giving me a shot of trebutaline which is a medication that stops your contractions and after the nurse gave me the shot (which stung and burnt like crazy) i immediately felt relief. It felt so wonderfully relaxing.

Contractions again
i started having contractions again a few days later, so i went back to the hospital for them to monitor me again and they sent me home with a prescription of trebutaline. It definitely takes some stress off of me. I feel like i have control over something i didn't have control of before. Ive still been drinking almost 70oz of water a day to try and drown them out. It seems to take the edge off and when i do start feeling them i go lay down somewhere for a while. My doctor was talking about sending me to their high risk doctor for more testing. The week before when i was there and my doctor did my exam she had done a test on me that tells them if i will go into labor within the next few weeks and it came back negative so i was relieved to hear that, it just kind of gave me a little more confidence.
