Where did my Baby go?


Tom and I want to grow Jax's hair long- no long like a girl but Mason Disick long - chin length and super cool. Well, Jax's hair was not cooperating with our vision. It was only grown over his ears and no where else so he looked a little Amish. Everyone kept saying it was time, including Tom because it was getting a little ridiculous. I would gel it and hairspray the "wings" back behind his ears, but that would only work for about an hour. Well, yesterday I finally caved and allowed our friend (a hairdresser) to cut his hair. She said she would only cut the "wings" but had to clean up the black and front too.

Jax was the perfect client- didnt blink and eye and sat so patiently asking for lunch. The end result is cute, handsomer (as if that is really even possible), and he still looks like my baby- not a big boy... or so I thought. Well, Dad comes homes, you know the one who has been talking me into cutting his hair for months, and HATES it! some of the things that came out of his mouth yesterday- "where did my little boy go?" "I can't look at you with a haircut", "you are like a teenager now", "I want the old Jackson back" . Are you kidding me?! You wanted this and now you cant handle the result- DRAMA QUEEN!

P.S. this morning when Jax woke up Tom says- "I just can't get used to it!" Unbelievable! Haha. 

That Pregnancy Glow

Generally, I have a fairly healthy diet...except when I'm pregnant! Granted, I once again have gestational diabetes so my diet is pretty restrictive but you would think that would make me even healthier. well if you call a new obsession with Doritos, McDonald's, and diet soda healthy- I am the spokesperson! I guess i should be lucky that my nightly craving for a brownie hot fudge sundae doesn't rear its ugly head more frequently- but eating 2 party sized bags of Doritos in two days is not OK (only original cheese please). Then  there's the McDonald's that I need at least once a week- I rarely ate McDonald's before & usually only when very hungover! And the big culprit- diet soda!  I guess it is filling a sweet gap that I cannot fill due to the diabetes but I hate the fact that I am drinking a soda a day. This poor baby- with Jackson I only had one decaf coffee my entire pregnancy and maybe 2 sips of diet coke! I really need to up my salmon and spinach intake but who the hell craves that?!

Back in Business!

OK- time to revive this blog. As part of my 2014 goals I am bringing the blog back!
 A quick update from the last two years...
- had the baby and he is my everything!
- we love living in London
- I am once again preggo! Our second son is due in April :o)

So Tom and I each made a mind map for 2014. I will be using the goals from that and my life experiences from being "Super Mom" and "Wonder Wife" as the main focus for the blog.

It is the 9th day of the new year and I am still focused on my map- at this point in years past, my new year resolutions have already been forgotten :o)
* Blogging- doing it ( it has taken me 5 days just to bring it back to life)
* Austria- next week (babymoon)
* Calling Ofsted Tomorrow
* Technology free evening tonight
*Call about schooling Monday
*Potty Training bootcamp Feburary 1
* cooked two "different" quick dinners during the past 4 days

I would have to say that so far in 2014- I am taking charge! Only 51 more weeks to go!
