Weenie or no weenie and psycho child

I haven't posted anything on here in ages. Mostly because I am pregnant, tired and felt like crap for a few months. Things are FINALLY going better. This whole nausea all day thing is for the birds.

We find out tomorrow (hopefully) if we are having another boy or a girl. I really, really think it is a boy and I am happy with that. I already have all boy things and I think Connor would have a great time playing with a little brother. I had always told Chris that if we had two boys we could adopt a girl. Connor has been a bit of a handful lately to say the least so I am starting to doubt if I could handle three children. Heck! I can hardly handle one.

Today was the meltdown of all meltdowns. I swear a demon overtook my child and was controlling his actions. He was at his friend Brooks's house having a grand ole time and I had to come pick him up and ruin the fun. When I told him it was time to go he took off running up the stairs. I chased him, tackled him (that's right...picture a pregnant lady wrestling with a two year old) and carried him over the shoulder style to the car. Mission accomplished, right? Wrong! Trying to get the child strapped into his car seat took the next ten minutes. I don't understand how such a small person has enough strength to fight off a grown woman, but he does. He flung himself out of the seat and started running around the car. Once I tackled him again I shoved him into the seat but he would not relax his hips so I could fasten the buckle. I tried karate chopping him in the waist. I tried lifting his feet and forcing him to sit. I even tried jamming my knee into his stomach. No dice. I finally had to loosen the straps as much as I could, fastened the buckle then tightened them as much as I could. All the way home we had screaming, flailing, hyperventalating even slapping himself in the face. It took ten minutes at home kicking the door and a Thomas video on the iphone to finally calm him down. What the heck is wrong with this kid?! And I have another one coming. Ay yay yay!
