Another MILESTONE!!

JJ finally let go and walked! He has been walking since 12 months but he would just cruise walk, take a few steps and walk if we held his hand.

Today he decided he wanted to be a big boy and walk on his own! I was so proud and wanted to cry tears of joy.

Also! I gave him his first haircut.


I saved a little piece of his hair and tied a ribbon around it. I am going to put it in his baby book. His hair turned out awesome! It's a little uneven in the back but it's not really noticeable. I will be taking him somewhere to get it cleaned up, probably in a few weeks.

Daddy didn't miss out! We FaceTime'd when JJ was walking over the place. I do wish he were with us. I miss him so much.

Today was a fantastic day!

Bandl's Ring

When I was pregnant with JJ my baby belly was never round - like the letter D. My belly was in the shape of a B. Bandl's ring is a ring around the uterus that prevent the uterus from contracting during labor. I did not find this out until JJ was in distress and my temp/heartbeat kept rising. The operating doctor (NOT MY OB) told me about this condition.

Now that we know what is up with my uterus, this current pregnancy will be a scheduled c-section.

When I tell people this, they automatically assume I chose to have a c-section and that really irks me. If I could have a natural birth I would, but I can't. This is not by choice. But for the safety of my baby I will do whatever it takes.

Study Break!

I am currently at the National University Library at the Spectrum Center studying for my first Anatomy/Physiology lecture and lab exam. So far I think I have lab pretty much down (not all, but def more confident with the lab exam). As far as the lecture part goes...two thumbs down! I cannot for the life of me I cannot get any of the lecture in my head.

The library closes at 5p so I have about an hour left before heading home. I should have came earlier but I spent time with JJ.

We went swimming in the backyard this morning and it was nice. Grandpa bought us a inflatable pool. It is big enough for me to lay down in and shallow enough for JJ to sit in. He had a blast.

I am so tired. I am not physically tired but more mentally. This class is going to drive me nuts. My Mommy/preggie brain cannot handle all the information. I am so not used to school anymore. It is taking me a some time to get back into the swing of things. After this first exam I really need to get down to business because I cannot afford to bomb another test (that is if I bomb this first one!)

Study break ovahhhhh!
