Wrong again

Seth is just full of surprises. Last night the last peep I heard out of him was a little after 9pm when I gave him a pacifier and got into bed myself. Daddy gave him a bottle at 1am and then he didn't wake me up for breakfast until 4:55am! Yay! Mama didn't even have to take her morning nap (instead I showered finally!). He's still sleeping now so it's tempting to go lay down. However I noticed the box of Nyquil on the counter and Eric has been snoring extra loud this morning so I think I'll just skip it. The last thing I need is to get a cold, yuck.

Last night before Eric went back to work, Seth and I were sitting on the stairs saying goodbye. Eric was making his funny faces and saying "Yay!" over and over again to Seth. All of a sudden with a big smile on his face, Seth laughed! It sounded like he coughed 3 times really fast but it was obvious what he meant by it. Eric and I looked at each other and high fived. It was a great parent moment. I'm so glad Eric got to share that first laugh with me. I am sure he worries sometimes that he's going to miss out on that stuff being at work so much of the time. I know I would.

So... I think maybe I'm going to get my period soon. I've been feeling all the telltale signs the last few days. First I felt that ovulation pain, and then I started feeling a little crampy. I'm guessing that skipping that one feed during the night has been just enough to let my body think it should go ahead and get fertile again. Ugh. It has been about a year since I've had to deal with the monthly visit and I'm not looking forward to it. Plus I've been around a couple of 12-14 month old kids this past week too and it makes me TERRIFIED of getting pregnant again too soon. I've got my birth control pills sitting on the kitchen table but I am still a little nervous about taking those, too, despite reassurance that they do not make me any more likely to have another miscarriage. So you know what that means.

It's overcast today and it's supposed to rain this afternoon. Might be a good day to just fill up my gas tank and then go for a drive while sipping a hot drink from Starbucks. I haven't had a caramel macchiato in awhile. Mmmmm.
