very very rough night. Up most of it with back pain and nausea after rocking liam back to sleep in the middle of the night and BBF getting irritated that he was getting squished. so he relocated to my stomach region. now I'm having really bad heart burn.

I'm glad that I got to cuddle with Liam though. it is the best thing ever to kiss the top of his head and have him bury his head in your neck.

Liam has been really whinny for the past week or so, and really bad this evening. It is so hard to be patient. Also, he has started smacking (not when he is angry, but when he is playing). I am so frustrated because i know he is learning it at daycare, and I don't know how to undo his bad habits from them. I tell him no and say he needs to be soft. I know he is just testing his limits, but it is so tiring to deal with, especially at 8 months prego. This time in 4 weeks, we might have a new baby. very crazy.

I also think he might be cutting his two year molars. He has not slept well the past week, and there is always a reason when he doesn't sleep well.

I love it when you wake up and have no intentions of being productive whatsoever, and then you get a gazillion things done. Lights finally installed in the ceiling fan, garden fence complete, radishes/peppers/cucumbers planted, front garden area weeding and pruned, faucet fixed, blinds fixed in the closet, Maybe and Zippy shaved.

Dinner on the patio too, and another training toliet for upstairs, naps for Liam and me, playing outside for about 20 minutes with Mommy and a 20 minute bike ride with Daddy.

I think we don't have to worry about stairs anymore. He has gone down them about 10 times really well. It will be nice when we can really not worry about them at all. I guess my big concern is if he gets distracted and looks up or something, or leans back.

I am very thankful for my family and the fact that I have an amazing little boy. Some days I don't actively think about it, but last night and today he has been such a sweetheart. It makes my heart melt.

Rebecca and Greg and Aaden came into town and we met them at TGI Fridays. Then we came home and Aaden and Liam just played and played and played. It was so cute. Then, Spauldings in the morning, Monkey Joes for the boys while Bec and I went shopping, then Ramsey's for lunch. After we said our good byes, home for a nap and then downtown for festivities. It was super crowded and muddy in the field, and we didn't stay long at all. Then we headed back to near the house and went to the park.

And Jeremy got to see the baby do some alien moves.

And everytime I asked Liam for a kiss, he gave me one with a hug to top it off.

I feel like the weekend is already over, and tomorrow is just going to be a bonus day off.

I went to Victoria Secret to get x-large underwear, but had to settle on large because that's all they sold. I only got two pair, and they tried to upsell me to 5 pair (which was a much better deal). I said no, I only plan on being x-large for another two months.
