Nightmares

Elias has started having nightmares. It is so sad! A few weeks ago I heard him running full speed toward our room in the middle of the night. He was screaming and crying. I jumped out of bed and caught him as he flung our door open, and he just clinged to me. Gus and I BOTH ended up laying with him in his little twin bed until he fell asleep. He mentioned something about "being stuck".

A few nights later I heard him running and crying again. This time when I caught him he started screaming "My chocolate. My candy!" He quickly went back to sleep so I did not ask him any questions. The next morning I asked what happened to the candy in his dream. He looked at me and his eyes turned very sad and he said, "That boy take it. He take my chocolate!" I could not help but laugh (although I tried to hide my amusement from him). He was SO broken up about it. So there you go: the nightmare of a 2 year old involves someone stealing his candy!

In pregnancy news I feel absolutely awful. The puking and constant nausea is getting seriously annoying. This baby is also unhappy about my calorie consumption. This kid wants me to eat more! I am literally hungry ALL the time. This is also due to the fact that the thought of food makes me want to throw up. I am so ready for the 2nd trimester and I can eat and feel normal again. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who is doing so much to help me. I cannot imagine how difficult (impossible really) it would be to make it through this without him.
