Photos of my boys, and Tarzan could possibly be the silliest boy alive.

Sweat that is what I do. I don’t like it. I thought after I had the baby the sweat would stop, well maybe not the day I had the baby but soon after. I have come to the realization the sweat isn’t going to stop until after I lose all of the weight I gained during the pregnancy. I am still around 20 kilos from that goal. So who knows how long that is going to take? If I don’t stop sweating after I lose the weight I am moving back to Oregon were it has a much cooler climate. I would rather be cool and smell good, then hot and sweaty and smelling like pork. That’s right I smell like pork, cooked pork. I smell like funky pork tacos all of the time.

The latest edition is very pale, very, very pale. The hair that he does have isn't that dark, his eyebrows are white, the hair on his body is white. His eyes are blue, but he has TML face. So yesterday we were out and about and someone stopped to see the baby and to my suprise she told me that she thought the baby was going to be browner. I am sure there are plenty of people thinking the same thing, but she said it. The only other comment that can top that one is when TML mom told me to put some suntan oil on the baby and put him in the sun.

Breastfeeding is great for your boobs! Your boobs are all big and full and you get to eat more because breastfeeding burns allot of calories. It is when you are done breastfeeding that all the bad things happen, and you have to look into buying new boobs. I breastfeed Tarzan for 16 months and when I decided that it was time to but an end to that business (I quite cold turkey style and I won't be doing that again.) My boobs filled up with milk for about three days and they were so big and rock hard it was ridiculous. They were defiantly porn star boobs. Then the milk went away and so did the rock hardness and they just turned into empty looking sacks. You know like the old woman’s boobs in the movie Something About Mary.

This is an old photo, but Stella just send it to me so I thought I would share. It is from a couple of years ago, and I am sure we are drunk. Well I am drunk. OOoops!

I forgot how much downtime you have with a newborn, Paolo is a sleeper. Me on the other hand, I am not so much of a sleeper even though I keep trying and it just involves me laying in bed awake and sweating.

So I haven’t bought pads in a really long time, to begin with I am not thirteen, and I've been pregnant and there hasn’t been a need. So before I had this baby I went to the modern type grocery store and bought pads. Well I thought I bought pads, put I bought panty-liners and allot of them. So after I had the baby I needed to use one of the these pads and that was when I discovered my mistake so my mother-in-law went to buy me some pads and she bought me the biggest pads in the whole world, but they defiantly served more of a purpose then the panty-liners. After those were all gone TML bought me pads that were also very large. So today the kids and me ventured back to the grocery store to buy more pads, and at this point I have reviewed boxes of pads that I have been purchased for me so I would be a little more familiar with the words that I need to be looking for. Success I bought a package of normal size pads.

September 27 Last Wednesday, I started the first stages of labor that night and when TML got home from work I was in allot of pain and he called the doctor and the doctor just came to the house to check me out and told us to come to his office at 9 am to see if I was progressing fast enough to go the hospital. Well around 6 am my water broke and I took a hot shower, and TML called the doctor and let him know that my water broke. The doctor called us back at 7, and told us to meet him at the hospital at 8. So at like ten to 8 I got up and got dressed cooked us breakfast. We arrived at the hospital about 8:20 and the doctor was waiting in the lobby for us walked us up to my room checked me again, and then he said he was going to go to his office and he would be back in an hour.

One hour Mexican time isn’t really an hour, so he went to his office and hard labor kicked in. During the supposed hour TML called the doctor I don’t know how many times and told him to come back. When he got back I was ready to push and they got me into the delivery room, I pushed the baby out in four pushes, and all is good in the hood.

I don’t know if I would have another baby without an epidural. I had an epidural with Tarzan and I didn’t have an epidural with the new baby. If I could do it over again I would opt for the epidural.

The one thing that was the most amusing is that I heard the nurse offer him scissor I think 3 times, and he finally told her she doesn’t want them. So there wasn’t any cutting and I am overall very happy with my birthing experience and my doctor.
