Being a mother of a boy...and one on the way!! AWWW

So, this past weekend was supposed to be calm and not eventful. Jace changed all that within minutes. Jordan was out of town and we were just making it as fun a weekend as we could the two of us. My mom took us out on Friday night for our birthdays to Red Robin, our fav place for a burger and then took me to get some casual comfy clothes to wear after the birth and some new clothes for Jace and the baby. It was super nice of her and a lot of fun to just be the three of us. The night wore me out though because I was chasing Jace around the mall and lifting him and moving him and he doesn't like sitting still in his stroller. So by the time we got home Friday night I was exhausted. Saturday morning, I had my last birth class so Jace went to his favorite babysitters house, Riley, and I went to the class and then to a baby shower. When we both were home I thought oh good, naptime for both of us as it had already been a long day. Well Jace decided a nap of 40 minutes was all he needed as a he awoke from it screaming saying he was scared. So naptime was over pretty much before it began. So we played outside, did some stuff around the house, ate dinner, and then took a bath. Well after bathtime about 6:30pm. I turned on a show for him so he could start quieting down. Well Jace decided as I turned off a few of lights he wanted them on. So he got in the back of his toy dump truck to go and turn the lights on. Well when the lights didn't turn on where he wanted them to he moved the dump truck onto our tile floor and commensed to stand in the back of it on the tile to turn the light on. As I saw him doing this I yelled out to him "Jace stop you are going to get hurt" well he did it anyway and fell to the floor head first. He started screaming and I knew it wasn't good. As I picked him up blood was filling his mouth and I was mad at him for not listening and for now being hurt. I couldn't believe how much blood just kept coming and filling his mouth as I tried to put wet washclothes on it. I started to panic because the blood wasn't stopping. So my first response was to call my neighbor who is an EMT and see if he could come over and look at his mouth. Well I called and they weren't home and he said get him to immediate care. So off we go as fast as we can to immediate care. We get there and his lip isn't bleeding as bad but still doesn't look good. So the Dr. there looks at him and says I can do it but you'll have to hold him down to do it and I think it's going to traumatize him. He suggested that we go to the ER and have them knock him out and sew up his lip. Oh, and yes he bit completely through his lip. Little stinker :). So off we go to the ER in CDA and to make a long story short, they gave him a shot of something that hypnotizes the child so they can't really see but can hear and it makes them relax and lay still. So I watched the Dr. sew up his lip and was amazed at how well he did and recovered afterward. We finally got home at about 10:30pm and I was so exhausted emotionally and physically I was crying trying to get Jace to go to bed...he didn't want to go to bed, imagine that!!!! So we went through all that to have him toss and turn all night in bed with me, to wake up in the morning and discover that the stitches on the inside of his lip were out. Yep not even 8 hours later and they were gone. Wow, can't wait to pay for those stitches. So back to the ER after we picked up Jordan from the airport. They said everything looked fine and that he should recover well. So through all of this I probably could have just had my dad, whose a Dentist, just look at him and tell me he didn't need stitches. But like they say you panic and literally can't think when these things happen. I didn't think about calling my dad until the Dr. was sewing Jace up. So I am looking forward to having Jace doing better...and having another boy, well we shall see :)
