9:34 pm - Beep! Beep!
|
I log in and realize it's been a reaaaaaaaaaally long time since I posted anything. I seem to be keeping in contact with people through myspace. Just kind of floated over due to a few cousins and friends, they lured me over. Do I post much there? Nope. :) But I put up current pics of my boys and it just seems like a more comfortable fit, as of late. I think it's due to past LJ experiences and too much BS. I always plan on posting more, but life keeps me too busy to really sit down at length and once I get started... anyway - If you give a damn ;), send me an e-mail and I'll hook you up with my myspace info if you're curious.
Anyway, I still like to check in here from time to time to see how friends are doing. I may not comment, but you're in my thoughts.

10:43 am - Summertime
|
I've had the most wonderful last 2 weeks! Lots of family visited from Chile and a couple of cousins flew in from NY. We spent a few days with more family in Santa Monica soaking up the sun and pleasant weather.
This week will be mellow. I'm at home, planning what we'll do all next week- we're going to Pismo. Woo!! Beaches and great food and shopping and so much good stuff.
School starts mid August so we're having a blast until Brandon and cousins go back. I don't even want to start preparing PTA stuff. There is so much to be done since this will be my last year as President because Brandon moves on to middle school. Ah, there will be time when we come back from the coast.
I hope everyone else is having a fabulous summer!!!!!!
current mood: energetic

12:38 pm - Never pull your pants down at a Little League Game!!!!!!
|
Just got off the phone with Steven and he told me to check my LJ. I vaguely remember posting but the topic eluded me. ;)
Had a few busy days. Decided to clean out my garage via garage sale and did really well. I have space again and $500 extra bucks in my pocket.
Brandon is on an all-star baseball team currently in a tournament. Well, I asked Dylan to pass on the Manager's position in order to sit with me and help with Hayden. Big Mistake! Our manager lost his temper and pulled his shorts down to bare ass the other team and the officials. He was ejected, we lost our lead and lost the game. The kids just collapsed. I have never seen anything like this. It was horrible. Well, Dylan has been asked to step in and he agreed. What a mess we have on our hands. We play again tonight and I'll be shocked if we win, team morale is low. We'll just have to do the best we can and try to regain our dignity.
Football practice has started and we're still in all-star baseball. Hayden is running around like crazy, he's 19 months old, life is yummy busy.
All these things and many more are what eventually made me a crave a few beers. I rarely crave alcohol.
I am not a bot, Steven! ;)

12:32 am - Masturbation
|
A word popped up into my head today when I thought of logging into LJ and posting something. Then I got lost in many-many-many memories of times past, LJ related.
A few people came to mind, primarily the one that made me think of the word that started my trip down memory lane (masturbation). His basic take was simple - LJ = masturbation. I guess you can say that about a great deal of the things we do on a daily basis, no? In some form or another we tend to do things that please us, or we'd like to do more of those things that please us, not necessarily masturbating in the literal sense of the word. Although I have to admit that literal is good too.
Okay, I will admit something else now, I have had a couple of beers tonight on an empty stomach and I am not much of a drinker. I am a lightweight and I am feeling it now. :) I hope I make sense.
I will probably post more tomorrow about why I had the beers to begin with since it has been an eventful day and I had my reasons for wanting a couple of beers. I suppose in my head I am justifying feeling tipsy since it's been so damn long.
I think I am just a bit wistful, thinking about people I used to communicate with, here on LJ. Some friendships have left their lovely imprint in my heart and from time to time I wish there was contact, even if it's sporadic.
I distanced myself and rarely posted to gain perspective. I have done so, gained perspective, that is. And I posted rarely because I felt guilty about 'masturbating'. Why? Because my life is fucking good. I am happy and I guess I felt that nobody gave a shit unless I was miserable.
Dumb. I can post what I want. I finally figured it out. No one is forced to read my rantings. Simple, hmm? So I shall post.
Need sleep. Bye-bye.

10:46 pm - Holy Smokes!
|
I just got a nudge from a friend to post. I had not realized that it had been so long since I last posted. Damn.
I'm still alive and kicking. Actually having a ball and time just seems to bloody fly by. I've been relying on phone communication to keep me up to date with friends that have stood by me through my silent spells. They kick me in the ass (call unexpectedly) when I have gone incommunicado for too long.
I'm busy with my boys. Brandon will be 11 in June and Hayden is 16 months old. I'm loving and hating the fact that I have a son that will be a teenager soon. I adore watching him mature and yet it's bittersweet to see the little boy disappearing as a young man emerges. Hayden is a blast, he's mastered walking and moved on to running. He's just the sweetest little devil.
My life is boring, I suppose, by some standards. Boring, being that there is rarely any drama. :) Hooray, for that!
At any rate, Dylan and I are going strong and happy (I am one damn lucky woman!!!). We're enjoying life, being parents, and each other. ;) I hope everyone else is doing well.
current mood: loved

3:20 pm - Frenzy that is life
|
I have so many balls up in the air and I am somehow managing on keeping them all moving along smoothly.
I have been nominated PTA President of Brandon's school. I was very surprised and honored. I have already started planning for our school Harvest Carnival and a Bike Rodeo. There is so much to do but I'm just running with it.
Brandon started tackle football this year and Dylan is one of his two coaches. I nearly had a heart attack the first time I saw my son in full pads and uniform, he looked so big. They have won their two first games, 39-0 and 21-0. Apparently they are a formidable team. Brando has 5 sacks so far and he proudly displays each skull and crossbone sticker her receives per sack on his helmet. I can't believe this 5 foot tall, 93 lb. young man is my baby. :)
Speaking of babies... Hayden is 9 months old now and is just delicious. He's reluctant to crawl but tries to stand. He's the giant red bow on my life. I can't remember ever having this much fun.

I just realized I haven't updated in a long while. :) This faerie is a mighty busy one. My little bug is 6 months old now and I am hopelessly, madly in love. I am truly enjoying Hayden. I had fun with Brandon but his time I am more at peace, heck, I am a pro. My little man is much more attached to me than Brando was, and I love every moment.
Brando is on an all-star baseball team again this year, so baseball season is prolonged once again. :) He's going to be in tackle football this year. My baby is a big boy now, time to let go a bit. He's now walking to a local hangout with buddies to play pool. He's bugging for a cellphone, but we'll wait until middle school for that step. I send him off with my cell for the time being.
Stuff is really good. I have to try and post a bit more often since much is happening. Oops, little one needs me now, off I go. :)

1:45 am - Baby, baby.
|
One night I am having a blast at a KoRn concert and the next I am in the ER as a result of a kidney infection from hell. It's true that you can never know what will happen from one day to the next.
Hayden is gaining more weight, his chubby legs are yummy to nibble on. He's giggling like a pro. He's dragging things up to his mouth once he's fortunate enough to grab hold of something, that part is still hit and miss. He's funny, he looks surprised when he actually gets a hold of something. He's incredible and I am enjoying him so very much.
Life is extraordinarily busy. Life is extraordinarily delicious.
current mood: grateful

9:24 am - Happy Busy Bee!
|
I am going to bounce around a bit here since it's been so long since I have posted anything.
I think I had forgotten just how much work a baby could be. I am tired! :) I'm still watching my 2 year old nephew Nathan daily and after school I have Brandon and Jonny. Let me tell you, I don't need to go to a gym, I have my hands full. I absolutely love every tiring minute of it. These boys give back so much love, I'm very lucky to be in a position where I can care for them and not have to ship them out to daycare. I get to enjoy all the wonderful new experiences and discoveries with them.
Hayden now weighs a little over 14 lbs., he's growing like a weed. He's got a healthy appetite and nurses like a ravenous beast. It seems amazing to me that my body can produce all the nutrients he needs to thrive. The human body is a marvelous thing. And speaking of nursing, I have never eaten so much before and managed to not gain an ounce. I am loving this, hopefully I will return to my normal appetite when I stop nursing. If this baby is anything like Brandon then I have about 22 months to go and I am going to make the best of it.
Hayden smiles on a regular basis now and follows you with his eyes as you approach him or depart. He's also trying to vocalize when you talk to him. He absolutely loves showers and bath time. Brandon is having a great time with his little brother, it's nice to experience this with him. This baby is so spoiled that he has never napped or slept in his crib, he's always in someones arms. We're going to have one hell of a spoiled child. ;)
I recently had a nasty kidney infection that hurt like hell. It was a bitch too, fever and chills, yuck. I'm over it now. I'm also 100% healed from my tubal ligation surgery, had it on Jan 3rd.. The baby making mechanism has been shut down now that I have my two boys. It's a huge emotional ordeal to go through, even when you are certain you do not wish to get pregnant ever again. It's such a definite step to take, no-way-back sort of deal. I'm okay with the decision, I think I have been very blessed with two healthy boys and I can't see myself doing this again since I am not getting any younger and babies take a lot of time and energy.
I'm still in love with my car. I adore the freedom and security of knowing it's not going to break down. I am addicted to XM radio and the gate/hatchback (it's very convenient when loading up groceries in tight parking lots).
We're going to a wedding on February 18th and I am very excited. Although I think 19 is too young to marry, I am happy for my pseudo-little brother. Andy, is my ex-sis-in-law (Lizzy's) little brother who just graduated from the Air Force and is going to serve 4 years in Alaska. I think the rush is due to the fact that he's already been lonely in Texas and he wants the security and comfort that he thinks a marriage will bring him, ah! he's so young. :) What can one do but hope for the very best and pray that they are the one couple out of hundreds that actually makes a go of it. Anyway, Lizzy and I are going shopping for dresses and shoes today. Yay!
Superbowl is just around the corner and I'm looking forward to it. I'm not a huge pro football fan, although do I like the Bears due to Dylan and Brandon both being big fans, but I love the yearly party we have at my folks house. We have friends and family over and they all bring a dish or two so there is always too much good food. We also do a bit of betting and buy squares in order to win pots of money thanks to the two Superbowl teams. The kids get the most joy out of this. Greedy little boogers!
I hope everyone is well. I may not post much at the moment but I do think of you guys often, you all know who you are, or you should anyway. :) Hugs and kisses.

2:44 pm - Can't slow down...
|
The guys got second at state! The tournament was incredible! They won their first 3 games, and lost the last one, 2-8. Out of 14 all-star teams they got second! We rushed to Santa Monica after the first day at around 6 PM to attend my Uncle's Christmas party only to rush out of there at 5 AM to get back to the tournament for day 2. I got to put quite a few miles on my brand new car, that was fun.
If I thought life was busy before... oh my goodness! I am having a blast, busy, busy. I've managed to not gain an ounce, I don't have much time to get bored and overindulge on the really bad stuff. I have to admit that I am feeling pretty good about how I look, I haven't been this thin since high school. I only hope that keeps up and I don't go nuts and gain a million pounds due to breastfeeding. :)
Hayden is growing, he's already a month old! He's staying awake longer and longer throughout the day and he's started to focus on my face when he nurses. I love that part, the connection between us during that time. I started taking him into the shower with me, he loves the water. I am pretty out there with how much I am enjoying this baby.
Christmas was wonderful, we all received too many great things. We are so spoiled! ;) It was lovely to be surrounded by family and watch them with Hayden for the very first time.
Everyone have a fabulous New Year! Celebrate, celebrate everything wonderful in your life!

9:12 am - Hayden Patrick has arrived!
|
On November 27th at 10 AM the hospital called and asked me if I'd like to be induced a day early. Well, sure! On Monday, November 28th at 5:05 PM, as the sun was setting outside my hospital room window, my son was delivered and placed on my chest. At 9 lbs. 2 oz. and 22 inches long it is a good thing we were induced 2 weeks early. If you'd like to see my precious bundle of joy then look
here!' (Warning- Big Pictures) The first picture is of mommy and Hayden, 10 minutes after birth. The second is of Hayden the following day.
He's perfect. 10 toes, 10 fingers, everything as it should be. He's taken wonderfully to breastfeeding, hungry little monster that he is. :)
I am feeling pretty damn proud of myself about now. I've this healthy thriving newborn that keeps me up at odd hours while we adapt to a nursing and changing schedule through the night... and I love every minute of it. We take naps together and that keeps my energy levels up. He sleeps with me, I can't bare to be away from him, not even to put him into a bassinet by my bed. I'm going to enjoy this baby as I did Brandon, taking nothing for granted and savoring every little miracle since they grow up so very quickly.
Everyone has gone crazy over the new addition to the family so I do get lots of help. Dylan is an especially attentive daddy, and Brandon is a sucker for his baby brother. We have family visiting nearly every night. Life could not be any better. :) Hayden calls, off I go.

11:13 am - The final countdown...
|
I shall be induced this Monday, November 28th, 2 days after my birthday!! We'll hopefully have a healthy baby boy before midnight on that day. The diaper bag and my bag have long since been packed and ready to go. Now I just count the days. . .
I am still in nesting mode, although there is nothing left to clean or arrange. Luckily, I am hosting a small Thanksgiving dinner at my house and the preparations keep me busy. This will be the first year that I cook everything myself. I'm excited about it. Turkey, fresh rolls, real mashed potatoes with chives, fresh steamed veggies, stuffing, homemade pumpkin pie and whatever else I can think of to add to the menu in the next two days.
Dylan's office invited me to lunch and they threw a baby shower for us. I hadn't even met some of these people and yet they went all out. They bought the baby beautiful outfits in colors I adore. Apparently, they had been grilling Dylan about my taste in baby clothing. The baby and even Brandon got homemade blankets, they are absolutely gorgeous. And we also got lots of gift cards that will come in handy for diapers and such.
Brandon's flag football team placed second in the valley and will go on to the State Championships. The date for the championships has changed to the 17th and 18th of December and it works perfectly since we need to be at the coast that weekend anyway for a family X-mas party.
My mom gave me an early birthday present from my grandfather in Chile. I opened a beautiful jewelry box to find my grandmother's anniversary ring from grandfather. She passed away early this year. He gave her the ring about 40 years ago. It's a platinum band with three large diamonds and grandmother always wore it. It was emotional, slipping it on my finger, remembering her and missing her.
This weekend we'll head out to pick and cut our Christmas tree. We'll have it all decorated and awaiting the new member of the family. I feel so blessed, like so much good has happened and I'm going to be sure to spread that around and be thankful for every little thing.

6:15 pm - 2 weeks and counting...
|
I've got about 2 weeks to go before I will be induced at 38 weeks and 3-4 days, unless this baby decides to come out earlier. I feel huge and I am very uncomfortable. I am also thrilled and anxious and excited and a mess of emotions.
Brandon was selected to play on our local Flag Football All-Star Team. Our first tournament will be this Saturday. If they place first or second then the team goes on to the state championships in Oxnard, Ca in December. It is a great honor to have him selected by the first place coach, Emilio. (Dylan's team placed third.) Coach Emilio asked Dylan to co-coach the team. My guys are so excited. I am too, but I am stressing a little since we'll have to travel to Oxnard in mid-December with a newborn if they place well enough this Saturday. Busy, busy.
Dylan bought me a car. It had 7 miles when I first test drove it 2 weeks ago. We brought it home Saturday and I've put 90 miles on it. It's a Silver, Chevy Malibu LT Maxx, 2005 model. Lots of neat features - Many airbags, electronic steering, hatchback, sunroof, moonroof, heated leather seats, rear DVD entertainment system, XM Radio, remote start-up, automatic climate control... and on and on. :) We did our research and with any car there are bound to be faults, but my father-in-law worked at the dealership, he is good friends with many of the people there so we figured we'd get better service there than with another dealer if problems do present themselves. 0% APR didn't hurt any either. This is my first brand new car. And although the initial response to the question, 'Shall we look at the Chevy Malibus?', drew a disgusted look from me, I am glad I checked it out. It's not at all what I thought it would be! I love driving it and it gets great gas mileage!
That's my update for now. I have 3 dozen eggs I have to prepare for a class party tomorrow. Brandon's friends love deviled eggs, I made two dozen last month and they complained it wasn't enough. I best get on it before my little monster shifts inside me and I am forced to bed. Just 2 more weeks! YAY!!!!!!!

10:13 am - Life plays out . . .
|
1. Baby Shower was a huge success.
2. My most beloved uncle died of cancer at the age of 43.
3. I deposited a $15,000 check into my bank account Monday.
4. Mom and Dad have safely arrived in Chile.
5. I shall most likely be induced for labor at the end of November.
I just had a half hour hot shower that relaxed me considerably and made me reflect on the last couple of weeks. I know I am overly hormonal, duh I am very pregnant, but this rollercoaster is finally winding down some, again. I won't touch the subject of my uncle for long, I am at peace, he left me at peace with what he said when last we spoke.
Baby news: As stated above, the shower was lovely. I got everything I had registered for and then some. This baby has SOOOOO much stuff, it's almost a crime. My last sono proved what we believed all along, the baby is big and healthy. My midwife gave me the option to induce 2 weeks early and I jumped on it. I have a list of natural teas to drink and herbs that will 'prepare' me for labor. We shall try to do this as naturally as possible. I say that now, while I am not in horrendous pain, that may change when the circumstances do. :) So, this baby will be born closer to my birthday than we had anticipated. Hooray.
Mom and dad are hoping I don't go into early labor and have this baby before they return from South America on November 14th. I don't think that will happen. Brandon was a week late, I think this child shall have to be nudged along. Only time will tell.
I waddle. I am huge. My belly is always in the way. I took pics but you can't tell I am pregnant from the frontal shots. I hope to get some side shots in the next couple of days. My mood is mostly good, I am just tired ALL the time. Just a few more weeks to go, perhaps only 5. I can't wait to hold a newborn baby in my arms again. I'm excited and anxious.

1:47 pm - Sonogram and Insurance Windfall...
|
My sonogram went well. The baby currently weighs 4 pounds 12 ounces, he's going to be a big baby. :) He moved around like crazy during the sonogram. Now we wait and see if I make it all the way to week 40, less than 9 to go!
My parents insurance company sent me a fax today with a settlement offer. I accepted immediately. I honestly expected a couple grand at most so their offer of 15 was a major shock. I think I will place the bulk of it into my savings account and wait. I am still in shock over the amount.
My baby shower is this Saturday. I'm excited to see my friends and family all gathered to celebrate, most of them have yet to see my big bump. Mom and I baked over 100 Empanadas this weekend. We've added stuffed peppers and potatoes to the main menu, mmm yummy. My head is swimming, best I go and just be for a bit. ;)

1:44 pm - 30 week checkup...
|
I may bounce around a bit in this post, I am having one of those days.
I have little contractions. As long as I have less than 4 an hour I will be okay. If I get more than that then I have to get off my feet ASAP. My midwife checked my cervix to make sure I wasn't in labor and I am not. She said if I don't start taking it easy she'll put me on bed rest. I WILL not do well on bed rest, nope, not me. My family is throwing me a baby shower in 2 weeks, I want to enjoy the silliness, the games and fun.
I have an ultrasound on Friday to make sure that I am not showing signs of going into pre term labor. My diabetic screen came out normal, so I don't have gestational diabetes. Screening for downs-syndrome and other genetic disorders came out normal, yay! But, I am anemic and have to take these gross supplements that make me nauseated.
In other news, my folks will be heading to Chile in about 3 weeks and they'll return mid November. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have this baby early, before they get back. The shop will be closed in their absence so I get 3 weeks off. I'm going to be bored.
Finally, the insurance company called and said they would fax me an settlement offer tommorrow, for the car accident I was involved in on January 19th of this year. I may just have to spend my free time buying stuff.
Overall I am in a good mood, but at times it's hard. I hurt, my abdomen is really sore and the little contractions can be uncomfortable and startling when they hit. It makes walking difficult at times, impossible at others. I am not the type of person that likes to slow down or have others do things for me. I am slowly learning that it is okay to be catered to, to let others be in charge, at least for the time being, anyway. ;)
When I do get a bit down in the dumps I have support around me that reminds me of how lucky I am. And I am, I have friends that would do anything to have a child but cannot conceive or they are feeling a bit too old to start a family. So, I can deal with whatever comes my way for the next couple of months, the reward will be so very worth it.

2:40 pm - Pregnancy Update...
|
I'm currently midway through my 29th week of pregnancy. Only a little over 10 to go, yay! Dauntingly, during my last checkup at 27 weeks my midwife measured my abdomen and smiled brightly saying his heartbeat was really strong and the baby was about the size he should be at 30 weeks. I smiled briefly before realizing that meant he may be as big as Brandon was and I really have no desire to deliver a 9 pound 7 ounce child again. At the very least, I am keeping my options open and I shall try to go completely natural again but if it gets too painful I'll give in and take meds. I did it the hard way once and that may have been more than enough.
The accident that I was involved in in January left my right side tender and I am suffering pain as the baby stretches out my abdomen. I have to wear a maternity support belt that eases some disomfort but not all. Ugh! I tire out so easily now. To top that off the insurance company has yet to offer me a settlement, seems they are still waiting on some paperwork from the hospital. These next 10 weeks cannot fly by fast enough.

5:40 pm - Screwed up world we live in...
|
It's frustrating to watch the news. This is a disaster, of porportions no one could have anticipated, but that is not a valid excuse. We can get our troops into Iraq in a 24 hour time period and yet it takes rescue efforts days and days to get into Louisiana. I know our goverment has its priorities, but shouldn't we be at the very top? And I don't mean the crap Bush spews out about the war on terrorism (how he's securing our safety) and his reasoning for leading us into a war that was based on lies. It's no secret that I don't like the man, his tactics, his deceiving and his selfishness.
Be forewarned that if you're going to respond to this with some shit about Bush being a great man that has done much for our country... I will read your comment, you are entitled to your own opinion, but I won't respond. I don't have the energy to argue my point effectively right now and in truth I don't really have the desire. Facts speak for themselves, I'm comfortable with that much. I am done ranting. Be well.
As a side note, added about 10 minutes after the initial post:
I thought I should also state that I just saw an interview with our President and his comments set me off, so all my frustration is currently directed towards him. If that explains my state of mind, then there you have it, if not... perhaps I am just a bit unbalanced. ;)

8:04 am - Fatigue...
|
I wake up yawning and never stop. I have to take a short nap during the day, if I can manage it. Luckily, I have my 2-year old nephew Nathan to snuggle with during naptime. I'm working a little less at the family business and staying home more. I provide daycare for my nephews Nathan and Jonathan Monday-Friday, Jonny is in third grade. In short, I am busy every single day, no matter what. Thank goodness I know how to tire out Naynay so we both crash and take a much needed nap on days we stay home from work.
I'm not complaining, since my nausea has somewhat stabilized... every day is a joy. I'm still not eating enough, but I can't help it. I try, I really do. I'm just not -that- hungry, not enough to eat something EVERY 2 hours as my midwife instructed. Dylan and Brandon bring me milkshakes and fattening foods in hopes the scale at the docs will show a rise, but no luck. I'm not stressing though, the baby is nice and big, moving all the time and I get another sono in about 7 weeks.
I have to say though, naps never felt more wonderful. If I look tired, someone ends up sending me take a nap. I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts, sleep will be in short supply once this little monkey is born. ;)

I'm to the point where I am enjoying my pregnancy. The nausea and vomiting comes now and then, but life has resumed to a normal pace of contentment. I have a full belly, Brandon and Dylan love to tease me. I walk around the house with shirts tied up over my belly and capris that are tied just below my bump just to make them smile.
I'm into my 25th week and this baby is VERY active. I have yet to gain more weight, I still have an 11 pound deficit, that may change now that the baby should start putting on weight rapidly. But hey, not may can claim that pregnancy actually leaves them thinner than they were before conception. ;)
I have my nursery all set. I bought the crib that I wanted and recently had the Italian stroller and carseat that I have been drooling over delivered. I have everything that I need. Heck, I have two infant carseats now.
Mom keeps buying baby clothes, the closet is packed full. I have no idea what people will get me for the baby shower since I have everything I need. (I got wind of the baby shower by mistake, they're keeping it hush-hush but I know it's going to be held in November after my folks return from Chile.)
My only disappointment is that I will miss my cousin's wedding in Chile. It's in late October and I'll be too far along to travel. It's okay though, I have to take care of my bump. I love my bump. Mmmmm, I'm happy.
current mood: thankful
current music: Interpol
