How is he normally about going down?
He is usually good about going down. He will cry 5-10 minutes, but then go to sleep on his own. The longest I let him cry is 20 minutes if he is not asleep by that point then I rock him, which he doesn't resist. He will snuggle up and go right to sleep. This has been our biggest issue from the beginning with him is sleep. He is so much better, but there are still times like last night where he fights it.

I personally think it is unreasonable to expect a toddler to go to sleep when their routine has been upset.
With my ds we *had* to keep his routine the same every night, right up till he was about 3 or 4. If visitors came, they had to take second place to the bedtime routine.

Jen - I can understand you being ticked. We have shared what the name is that we will be using for our first son, even though it has a lot of meaning for us as well, but we refuse to share the name for our second son. It's not common at all and we don't want to go through the situation you're in. However, I have met lots of families where cousins have the same name.
Nicole - unfortunately, I still live in the same city as my family.
Well, today is shopping and swimming! I need to head to two stores across the street this morning (I hope the rain can hold off, otherwise we hang out at the mall until Dh comes home from work). Then swimming at 1pm because they had to cancel it last week so this is a makeup class, and then shopping at two more stores, and then regular swimming class at 6pm.
Oh then, we have to go pick up Dh's sister so he can give her a driving lesson before her road test.
Have a lovely day ladies!

We have been running all morning and now we are back home. Hunter is playing nicely for now by himself. I have the living room, kitchen, and dining room clean so that is done. We are having some friends over for dinner tonight so no rushing around for once, other than making dinner. While Hunter is napping I am going to clean our bedroom and bathroom. Then the whole house will be clean...could it be...lol!

I wish I rested more when he napped, but that is when I choose to clean. It is easier (less stressful) to clean without having him under toe. I will do some stuff while he is awake, but there are some things I do not attempt.

((((Kara))))That's horrible! Hopefully, he'll find a better job than the one he had. Glad your primary health care is covered though.

Kara- I will be praying for your husband's job situation. The company dh worked for about 8 years ago went bankrupt, so dh lost his job. God took care of us during that time, including giving dh opportunities for taking on odd jobs that amounted to him making more money than he would have at his job when we looked back. God will take care of you, too, over and above your expectations.

Thanks, Nicole...I feel like I have my own personal cheerleader when I read your post. So encouraging!

I'm home...
I went to town this morning and held it and held it....all through the building permit application and everything. So we rush over to the dollar store....and they don't have any tests!  So, I was next to the grocery store and was going to go get an expensive one, but I couldn't hold it any longer, i had to run to make it to the bathroom.
So later on in the afternoon when we were getting groceries, I got a test, and just decided to wait until we got home because we were going right home and the grocery store bathroom looked yucky.
Anyway....we got home, and I couldn't find the test anywhere!!!!! I thought for sure I left it at the grocery store, since I didn't remember putting it in the cart when I was leaving.
Then, I looked in the trunk again, and it was there, tucked under the stroller. So I brought it in, and by this time, I had to run (again) to get to the bathroom, and I just made it....and found that I didn't even need to test...my period has arrived.      
Anyway, that sure explains the migraine that I'm dealing with today...though that has been a pregnancy symptom in the past too. Anyway, I'm a little disappointed, but this is sooner than we had "planned" anyway, so it might be a little while yet. Or next month, who knows. Depends how many accidentally-on-purpose accidents we have...
