Anyways, so that brings me to the next change. REED...he has been waking up extra early the past couple days (a few hours earlier than normal) and actually bailed out of his crib yesterday morning for the first time! SCARY! I usually let him cry himself back to sleep if he wakes up too early and he goes back no problem...sometimes it'll take him a good half hour but he goes back to sleep. Yesterday was different-he cried histarically for about 15-20 min and had finally had it- then the THUD! I knew something was wrong so I ran in there and found him on the ground on his hand and knees screaming! He fell out of the crib. Great...once they do it once, they'll do it again. Sure enough, the same day we put him in August's parent's pac n play to take a nap-he screamed bloody murder for about 5 min and then I heard the THUD! He got out of that and was laying there on his back on the ground screaming! Great...now what? August decided it was time for the "toddler bed." We took the front of the crib off and put him on the mattress. He cried and tried to get out-I put pillows all around the crib just in case he rolls out-becasue he is a roller when he sleeps and we closed the door. He cried and rolled out and came up to the closed door screaming. I just waited in the hall listening to his sad cry and it broke my heart! He's not ready for a toddler bed...he just turned ONE!!! He's still a baby in my eyes...August told me leave him alone, come to bed, when he stops crying we'll get him off the ground and put him back in bed. I waited about 15 min. and then went to check on him. We opened the door, and surprisingly found him back in the bed passed out. SO cute- so I was at ease and felt i could go to sleep without worrying...I was wrong.
This morning 5:30 am I hear him crying. Ugh...really? 5:30? Why?? (I'm starting to wonder if it's because he refuses to drink a sippy of milk before he goes to bed, so he may be hungry). So, this time I get out of bed to check on him right away because I knew he probably rolled out of the bed. I go in there and I don't see him...anywhere! Where the heck is Reed?? My heart drops...then I hear him cry again? "Reed? Reed? Where the heck are you???" I look and look and guess where I find him? UNDER THE CRIB! He's stuck under the crib in the far back corner in the dark-and he's STUCK- he can't lift his head up and he's crying. I drag him out by his feet and give him the biggest hug- I love in the mornings that I can cradle him in my arms like a baby...and he let's me! He doesn't fight it. I felt so bad for him-I just asked him, "How the heck did you get under there?" He looks up at me and gives me a little side smirk/smile out of the corner of his pacifier. My heart melts. I wonder if he slept under there all night?
What a turkey- so now what? Do I make it into a regular crib again and hope he doesn't jump? Or keep it the toddler bed and hope he doesn't roll out. Decisions, decisions. I'm starting to think he's acting out this week because our house is so disorganized and everything looks out of place. It's all changed to him... maybe?
As for the good change, well not really a change, but we are having another BOY!!! I knew it was a boy, but still had a small feeling it could have been a girl- I just figured it would be a boy because that's what I seem to have-I always thought that as a kid too that I would have all (3) boys and maybe 1 girl. My miscarriage was a boy so this makes number three. We are excited=August especially. I'm not going to lie, a girl would be really fun, but I can't wait for another boy to love me and for Reed to have a brother to play with! They will be trouble makers together for sure. I'm glad it will be cheaper-having mostly everything I need anyways with a boy. Because with all our problems in life right now, I definitely would not have any extra money to spend on cute girl accessories no matter how much I would want to! I went to my ultrasound to fin out the sex of the baby, although I didn't peak or find out right then! I had my nurse text my friend Sunny BOY or GIRL. I had given Sunny earlier a white cake mix, blue and pink frosting and funfetti frosting. I then had her make the cake blue or pink, depending on what we were having. Then, that night we all went to my inlays and had my family come over as well and August and I cut the cake together... the first slice, everyone yelled "YAY BOY!!!" It was a fun idea and I'm surprised I held out ALL day without peaking to see if I was having another boy or girl! Here's our BLUE cake! Now, it's just thinking of boys names...here we go!
