I really started feeling the call of being pregnant again. When I got up my husband had made me breakfast (Probably around 7:00) and as soon as I walked in the kitchen I ran to the bathroom to throw up! I have thrown up so many times today, and I don't remember it being this hard with Bridger or Roper.

Roper is starting to the stage where he likes to pitch fits (The terrible twos are coming up in a year so you think it wouldn't happen yet). And then I realized that once I get farhter along that I won't be able to handle him during these fits, and Zac will have to. And I won't to be a part of the discipline process because I want him to know that I am also boss. And he is just so young. Maybe I am just over reacting. And Bridger never went through the "Terrible Two's" He has always been pretty relaxed. But Roper; he is relaxed.. it is just I think he might do it for attention, but it is more so when he doesn't like something that is going on. I am not sure how to break him of it, or if it will just pass through.

Ack. I am 26 and really having a hard time right now because I LOVE being pregnant but this time it is so much harder and more noticible than the last times. Meaning WAY more morning sickness and stuff.

If you have any opinions on Roper feel free to give them.. but please only from those who have TRUE opinions. I know what to do, but has any of your children gone through this? I also put this post up on my mommy's forum (mostly adults with children) and they said it passed but it didn't happen until they were closer to being two.

Jay hit the terrible 2s at about 9 months. She used to get put in her crib to pitch a fit, and once she calmed down I'd pick her up and hug her and that would be that.

She's now 18 months old and now she gets time out for 2 minutes in the corner, and when she's done she gets a high five for sitting good for 2 minutes. Her tantrums are pretty much gone now,

Zac and I have been putting him in the crib when he does it, and we will walk out.. After he quiets down we will go back in and get him. He just turned One the 4th, so a little early for time out right now because I don't think he would get the concept.

Yeah... I was stuck on the crib thing until she was 16 months old, that's when she got time out.

I think letting him stay someplace safe until he calms down is pretty much all you can do at this age.

Yes. And I think he knows that he isn't supposed to act like that, but I just need to get it through his mind that it is unacceptable.
