Kyle's Lost Tooth, Emotional, etc...
Kyle lost his first tooth on Wednesday! This tooth had been loose for about 10 days, and just wouldn't come out despite all of the wiggling and twisting Kyle had done to it! Go figure that it just fell out of his mouth that night, as he was hanging opside down from his bunk bed ladder, talking to Natalie, lol. He actually lost the tooth because when it fell out of his mouth, it dropped down into the heating vent on his floor, and neither Jeff nor I were able to find it. Kyle was pretty upset that his tooth was gone, but we reassured him that the tooth fairy knew that he had lost a tooth and that she'd still and leave him a surprise underneath his pillow. Boy, he was ecstatic yesterday morning when he found his dollar under his pillow! It was great!!! :-)
It's been a really emotional few days for me. I just can't stop thinking about the fact that I'll never experience being pregnant or giving birth again! It's always worse when I'm nursing the baby...I almost cry everytime! I have had a few times when I just start to cry and I can't help it! Wednesday night was really hard on me. Jeff and I were laying in bed and he asks me "So, are you happy that the baby days are over?" I asked him what he ment, and he said something like "Are you happy that you don't have to be pregnany anymore?" I immediately started to feel the tears well up, and quickly changed the subject...I didn't want him to see me cry. Then he goes back to the subject and said "you know, if I hadn'd have gotten myself fixed, we probably would have talked ourselves into having another." That was something that I really didn't need or want to hear! That really set the tears flowing, but I didn't show him that, as I was laying with my back towards him. I just can't talk to him about how I feel right now because his way of dealing with certain situations (such as this) that don't have a resolution, is to not think about it, and to just ignore it. He says that if he doesn't think about whatever the situation is, then it's easier for him to get over it So he really wouldn't be of any use to me if I tried talking to him about this. All I'd get is a "Well, we both agreed that we should get this done, and with another one, we'd have to make some big changes." And I do know this, but it doesn't make this adjustment any easier for me. I cried myself to sleep that night.
In other news, Natalie's preschool class visited the kindergarten class at the elementary school yesterday. All of the kids did a fabulous job! They got paired up with a kindergartener and did a coloring an d cutting project together. Natalie really enjoyed herself, especially since she was paired up with a good friend of ours who was in preschool with Kyle. It was a really fun day!
Sorry, I'm sounding really jumpy in this post. I'm going to close now so that I can maybe get a nap while the two little ones are sleeping too!
