Dr. Appt

We had our ultrasound this morning and it went pretty well. Gianna already weighs 3lbs 8oz and is measuring a little farther along than my due date. She measured a little farther last time also. Her head is really low and she was pressing against the placenta again so the tech was having a hard time getting her head measurement. I have said before that I don't think Gianna likes anything pressing on her, ie tighter elastic, monitors, hands. Well the ultrasound machine was no different. She kicked the machine so hard it bounced! It was a little uncomfortable but the tech thought it was funny. Dr.Klein did check me and everything is okay, so the rest has worked. And all my blood work came back normal for anemia and diabetes. We go back in 2 weeks.

Maddie's First Real Hair Cut

I took Maddie to the Beauty Shop today for her first real hair cut and we met Kimmie there. I say her first real hair cut because when she was about a year I did a little trim to control the mullet issue. We walked in and she got up in the chair and I explained I just wanted a slight trim...clean it up and even it out. Maddie was having a hard time looking down for more than a second and wanted to look around. But she did great and it looks good. At first I thought it looked soooo short but we got home and up it up so she could have her sucker and you can't tell it is that much shorter.

Getting Started

Trying to look down

Cheesing

Finishing up

She got a sucker for doing so well

At home with her Sucker (She kept saying Don't Bite It, so I am assuming someone has given her a sucker before...)

Trip to Austin

Jahno had to go back to Austin to fix some issue. He wanted us to go with him so I hesitantly agreed. We got everything packed and headed out. We had to stop by Jahno's work on the way out so we hit Boston Market. I of course ate tons!!! And Maddie enjoyed it to. Maddie did not want to take a nap so the drive and once there was miserable. I was thinking it was a mistake for me and Maddie to go. We also had Marie Calendar for dinner which was amazing!!! Friday we got up and went downstairs for breakfast and it started off as a good day. Jahno went to work and I found a Chuck E. Cheese for Maddie to play. I got quite a few tokens but Maddie was more interested in putting the tokens in the machines than playing the games. So we played the game where you push a button and get tickets. She rode the bike that goes up in the air but didn't want to ride the cars once they started moving...not sure about that one. She was able to get a football and a bracelet with the tickets. We then went to Baskin Robins because she had a gift cert. from her birthday. And then we went to Big Lots, I needed to get her some soap and needed to waste some time. We finished and it was finally time to check into the other hotel. She played and played in our room with only one fit in which she hit her head on the box springs. We went to grab dinner and pick up Daddy (hopefully). Maddie fell asleep so I drove around and just parked. I grabbed fast food for Jahno and headed back to the hotel. Again Austin's roads are ridiculous and ended up going the wrong way, I finally got to the hotel sat down and Jahno called for me to come get him....Grrr! Jahno's old college roommate called and asked us to go to dinner. We had real Chinese food which was great and then went for ice cream...Funny story. There was a little courtyard where we were eating our ice cream and there was a couple paying on the little grass patch making out. All of a sudden the sprinklers came on, LOL, the girl jumps up and runs and the guy just lays there for a second (right on top of one for the sprayers) I was cracking up...that's what they get! Anyways. So Friday was so much better! Saturday we got up and had breakfast with Jahno's college roommate and headed back home. I wasn't able to take too many pictures but here some.

Maddie and Jahno at Boston Market

Maddie did not want to get back in her seat, she even tried to buckle up in the other seat.

Maddie was sitting in the drawer drinking her drink and reading her book (I wasn't quick enough)

Maddie loved Frito Pie, she had it head to toe.

28 weeks

I hit 28 weeks...my appointment isn't until next week but I like to post the Belly shots on the specific weeks. She is pushing out which is why my belly is shaped funny.


Also today Maddie was playing with her baby (which is almost as big as her) and it was soooo cute! She was trying to get her to sleep and she was teaching her to sit and how to walk and comforting her! She is going to be such a good Big Sister. And for those who are wondering about her clothes...she took off her shorts and put on these bloomers by herself but she is wearing clothes!

July's almost over

Jahno has to go to Austin again for work and really wanted our company so I agreed to go. It was only suppose to be Thursday night and then he would work Friday and come back after that. Check out is at noon and not knowing how long it will take him to fix the issue I wasn't thrilled with going, checking out at 12 and trying to find something to do with a 2 year old until he was finished. Not to mention drive back after that all while I am suppose to be resting. So we decided to get another room for Friday night also. We can't check in until 3 but killing time from 12 to 3 is no big deal. So I need to pack for that tonight but have to wait for Jahno to get home and get the suitcase out of the attic.

Madeleine Alaine has been trying herself lately. She looks at us when we tell her to do something and does the opposite. And when she is told no she throws a fit where she screams and throws herself. I am really afraid she is going to hurt herself. She has thrown herself against the couch, me, the cabinet and yesterday she fell into the toilet! She hit her cheek on the toilet and it bruised and swelled almost immediately. So we are at the 2's and hoping they don't get worse and go by fast! Here is a picture of her check...hard to see the bruise, it is from the corner of her mouth up her cheek in a C shape. (And she is wearing clothes)

Another Dinner Diaster

So I looked up new recipes, they were suppose to be quick and easy. There was a Alvocado Enchilada recipe that sounded great!!! I got all the ingredients only to find out later that I could have used pre-made Guacamole. It took me 50 mins just to get everything chopped up and mashed up when it said it would only take 5 mins. I cooked it for 30 mins. Jahno came home and complained which I was not happy considering I spent so much time prepping and burning my hands with all the ingredients. Then I guess the jalapeno wasn't chopped up enough because they were still crunchy and very strong...and Jahno doesn't like jalapenos anyways. And the Cilantro was way over powering. Needless to say we ended up going somewhere to eat. I am kinda at a lost because I am having a hard time prepping stuff with Maddie into everything and Jahno seems to be with the worst food critic ever!!! I told Jahno to make the menu...we'll see what happens.

Oh Dear....

Madeleine has never put stuff in her mouth. Even as a baby she rarely chewed on toys and never put things like leaves or old cereal or anything she just found on the floor in her mouth. She is now 2 and just today, she pulled a banana of the counter, had it opened and have eaten before I even came out of the bathroom, she found a fruit loop on the floor and was eating it...luckily I caught that one fast and had her spit it out and then as I was getting my (not) easy dinner together (another bog to come) she climbed up to the table and found an old Cheeto in her chair and was eating it. She is also at the perfect height to pull stuff off the counter...which is how she got the banana. But she is also getting stuff she is not suppose to. It is great that she wants to be independent and exploring everything but at the same time it is stressful because she is so fast!
