Well in one hour is my 1st doc appointment with Dr Coe. Here's hoping he gets the ball rolling. I've felt rather powerless for the last 11 weeks with no real medical proof that baby #2 is on the way. When I hear the heart beat, start getting blood work, ultrasound appointments etc, then all this will be real. Then I'll start stressing about getting the house ready. lol. I guess there's always something.
On the BBB front last night went rather well. I read that we have to just dooke it out, have a battle of wills. I usually win those so I was confident going in:
Here's the steps, relativly simple:
1. Tell them it's bed time in an upbeat loving voice and escort them to their bed.
Evan's reaction: brack down-temper tantrum-threw up (only a little)
My reaction: cleaned up throw up (not the first time-wow Evan throws up a lot- I'm rather used to it now), changed Evan contued to step 2.
2. Tell them its bed time in a calm but firm voice and escort them back to bed.
Evan's reaction: brack down-temper tantrum-no throw up this time.
My reaction: went and sat at the end of my bed peeking into the room. He could see me too.
3. Every time they leave the bed say nothing and escort them back.
Evan's reaction: after 5 escorts-total battle time 1 hour: down to whimpering, sat at the end until he passed out and fell backward.
My reaction: A happy dance that involved some moves stolen from John Travolta. I entered room moved Evan to the middle of the bed safely between the bed rails.
Result: He slept most of the night. At 12:30 we had a Sam related incident but Evan returned to sleep when the cat was removed from his head. He again woke at 6:30 and by then my will was gone, he slept with us until 8:30.
Well there you go ladys. It works. I hope you file the 3 step BBB or BGB program until you need it.
Have a good one!
