38 weeks 3days
Well after a whole week of being dilated 2cm and being 45% effaced I am still the same. I was pretty shocked nothing had changed since I've had some pretty good contractions lately and they are defiantly becoming more frequent. Oh well I'm glad Eloise is happy in my belly. I just hope she stays in until after Christmas now. Maybe she will be a new years baby after all!!

Back at it!
My computer has a weird virus that won't allow me to access any google related websites. Blogger sadly falls under that category do I've been locked out. Until I had a duh moment and uploaded the app to my iPhone. Duh!! So here I am and so happy to be back! Can't wait until my DH who happens to be a computer genius and software architect decides to fix my computer. What's that saying about a marrying a carpenter and never getting your dream home?? Something like that, yea, my pc will prob never get fixed. Lol
Any who I am here on my iPhone for now and it's better then nothing. At least I can write down and remember my life. Because I'm pretty sure my memory is failing me already.

Life Lessons
Today I learned a lesson...
Never ever attempt to cut your child's hair if you have no barbering training. Yep, that's right I tried to cut my sons hair. I am beginning to think its kind of a right of passage for mother and son because almost everyone I've talked to has had the same traumatic incident happen to them. the process is somewhat like this...
"my kid needs a hair cut. I don't feel like packing him up and driving down to the barber shop and forking over $20 for a hair cut. All I need is a pair of hair-clippers, I'll save so much money every year if i just do this myself...more money for shoes!! . How hard can it be right?"
yea, that was my thought process. So I went out and bought the cheapest $20 hair clippers Target had to offer.
"$20 Those look good! Hey, that's how much money I would spend on a hair cut and now I will only pay this one time and I'll call it an investment!! I never have to go to that fancy shmancy Kids Kuts place again!! Muahahaha!! How hard can it be right?"
So we get home pull a chair out to the garage and get set up. Unpack the clippers and turn those bad boys on...
" Here we go... this wont be hard at all. Nice even fluid stroked across his head.... Oh shoot, thats a little shorter then I thought. Well, thats alright as long as its all even.'"
Then your ticklish 4 year old starts to squirm and giggle. You ask him to "hold still just like you do at the hair place for the nice old lady who cuts your hair. Okay?" "Yea, okay mom, but it tickles!" "Yes, I know but just hold still for a few minutes" Next buzz goes smoothly. Then he decides to turn his head as fast as he can to watch for the car coming down the street...
"SHIT! Oh crap!! This is just great... WTH am I going to do now? Just make it a little shorter I guess. It's summer time after all no one has to know I didn't mean for it to be this short...
So you continue on with the hair cut and finally give up when its all as short as humanly possible and patchy in some spots.
"Well I guess that's even enough, can't get any shorter unless i go get my razor out of the shower. He has a few hats he can wear for the next week or two. It will grow back, his hair grows so fast it will be back to normal in no time.
Then I walk around to the front of my sweet little boy to see the damage.
"OMG WHAT DID I DO?!" He looks like a pitiful bald little thing. That was harder then I thought! I am never doing this again!
Smile at your kiddo and tell him he is bald and beautiful and his hair will grow back reall soon. Throw in a "Especially if you eat all your veggies!" Give him a hug, brush him off and send him in the house for a shower.
Your kid see's his reflection in the mirror and jumps back in terror and rubs his head vigorously, then starts to cry. You feel like the worlds worst mother and you start to cry too and vow to him you will never ever touch his beautiful hair again!!
Bald and uneven but still handsome :)

15 Weeks
This is a couple days late...see I am playing catch up again only not so bad this time.
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 15 weeks
Size of baby: 4 inches, 2 1/2 ounces. Baby is the size of an apple
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Maybe 1 or 2 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: Nope not yet, I still fit in most of my jeans and clothes! I think this baby is sitting higher this time.
Gender: Don't know yet. Both kids say its a girl. Daddy and the Chinese Gender Chart ( which has always been right) say boy. I say boy too but based on how I feel and the way my belly is sitting at this time it's more like the pregnancy I had with Kylie, so it might be a girl.
Movement: I just felt a kick the other day!
Sleep: Eh, it's like a light restless sleep most nights and I already get up a couple times a night to pee.
Symptoms: Tired, like a zombie. A little nauseous but i haven't gotten sick, dizzy & heart burn.
What I miss: Drinks by the pool and RedBull
Cravings: Spicy V8 juice I make it into a virgin Bloody Mary extra spicy. I am eating more salty food and less sweet stuff.
Best Moment this week: Feeling the baby kick and Kylie kissing and rubbing my belly. :)
What I am looking forward to: Next Dr. Apt and finding out the gender of the baby. t
Baby, baby, baby oh...
Yep that's right number 3 coming soon!
Here I am at like 9 weeks
Here is the BellyBean @9 weeks 2 days
My belly again @ 14 Weeks. 4 Months & in the 2nd trimester!
Today I am15 weeks and I felt belly bean kick! I am sure I have felt it before but wasn't totally sure. This was for sure... I think. It happened a few times in a row and it was very distinct little thump above my pelvis.

4th of July
Happy Birthday America...or as my kids kept calling it "Happy Birthday Amafrica"
We spent the day swimming in the pool and then lighting some fireworks at night. Simple and easy.

Conrad's 4th Birthday
JUNE 5th 2011
This birthday was hard for me. How did my little baby boy become a big kid so fast? Seriously?! Next year he will be off to kindergarten and thats just too hard to imagine. I feel like just yesterday he was a tiny little baby crawling around and getting into everything, snuggling and laughing and just being a sweet baby. Now he is running around, causing mayhem, telling jokes, playing tricks, laughing and expressing all of his emotions. Questioning everything and forming his own opinions and ideas and just talking non stop. Someone really needs to find a way to stop the aging process soon because I just don't want this to go by any faster.
Went to lunch the day before his birthday!
Someone who wasn't the birthday boy stole the birthday sundae...
We didn't have a party this year just a little at home party for our little family.
My sweet little Jedi.
Super cute cupcakes
Make a wish...He wished to become a Jedi :)
Looks like they were delicious!
playing with his new light-saber...it's not like he doesn't already have 5 others.
The next day we had brunch with Mickey mouse at Disney hotel.
Thinking of what to wish for...
Dancing with Mickey!
Bumping fists with Stitch
Kisses for Minnie
Daisy had kisses for Conrad... she was such a flirt.
Dancing with Daisy
Now I must admit... I only chose this breakfast option because I heard Daisy was always there. I LOVE Daisy Duck. She has always been my favorite Disney character and In all my years of Disney visits I had never seen her character out in the park other then in parades. So I was really Excited! I may or may not have teared up when we got to meet her... Shhh...
yep, thats about the point I teared up. Drew laughed at me so I was to embarrassed to get a picture with her by myself for fear of further teasing from my DH.
So despite not having a party this year, Conrad had a pretty good Birthday.

Kylie is 2
Okay this post is a lot late but im trying to play catch up on here so posts wont be in order. Bare with me on this I am trying to be a good blogger I promise!
I can't believe that my tiny little princess pie is two!!! How did it happen? Where did my baby go? It really hit me hard that she isn't a baby anymore. One is still a baby, but two? Well, two is a big kid!
Its gone by so fast and yet so slow at the same time. I am really having a hard time with it. I didn't feel this way with Conrad, so why should I feel this way about my Kylie bug? Maybe its because she is a little girl and I expect Conrad to grow up to be a man, but my little princess needs to stay a little princess forever!
Kylie Marie, you are two! You are a beautiful little girl with such a big appetite for life! I hope you never lose that. You love to laugh and you want everyone to laugh with you. You love to entertain and LOVE attention! You are a people watcher and like to observe everything. You are head strong and stubborn and yet you take direction well. You have an ornery steak inside but you hide it well with a big cheesy grin. You know you are cute and you use it to your advantage, such a smart girl. I think someday you will grow up to be a star or a veterinarian.
