Mom Hair

So I have come to discover where the term "Mom Hair" stems from. I have long thick hair, that I always considered to be one of my assets, but in the last few weeks I has become a huge pain. Basically there is no time to curl or style my hair everyday and even the days that there is enough time for hair styling in a classic " down do" it's not long before it gets destroyed. Long hair with a baby is a total mess because it is either getting in the way of nursing, getting spit up on, or getting pulled and yanked out by baby. Whatever the case, I quickly discovered that having my hair up and back is the way to go. After many days of messy pony tails, and some deliberation if I should cut my hair short, I came to a conclusion. I don't think I could pull off short hair, and I think I would miss my long hair way too much! I kind if consider it my one beauty. After seeing a pin on pintrest about easy hair up dos I got inspired to try an easy hair up-do every day for a week. Although I consider myself only moderately talented when it comes to doing my own hair, most of these take less than 5 minutes to do and a few take about 10 minutes. I think all of them are doable for anyone and require only a little practice and supplies:) A lot of them have french braids in them, which is a great thing to know how to do:)
Day 1: French braid to the side with side twist bun. Used 2 hair ties and 2 spiraled pins.
Day 2: Loose twist bun with head band. Used 2 spiral pins and 2 hair ties.
Day 3: Front side french braid pulled back into a messy bun. Used a hair tie and 2 bobby pins.
Day 4: Two french braids. Pretty basic here, I used 2 hair ties.
Day 4: Side front twisted back to regular ponytail. I used 1 hair tie and 1 bobby pin. For this one I had to spend a minute or 2 quickly running a straightner through my hair to get out the natural wave.
Day 6: Regular pony tail with flower attached. I spent a few minutes quickly curling the bottom of my hair, and used just one hair tie.
Day 7: French Braid down the back with loose twisted bun. I used only one hair tie and 2 spiral pins.

Hello everyone! It has been suggested to me by several people that I should blogging since I will soon be moving around the world and having my first baby! There is so much going on that I feel the only way to let everyone know whats going on is to actually keep up with this blog:) I will try to post updates as much as I can so sorry if I end up sharing wayyyy too much! Here it goes, hope everyone enjoys! Right now, I am nearly 19 weeks pregnant, it is March 12, 2012. We get to find out the sex of the baby in 2 weeks! I am excited to know for sure, but I just feel so certain that it is a boy already, so we'll see if my gut feeling is right.  I felt the baby move for the first time about a week ago. I wasn't quite sure if I was feeling the right thing, but after a few days I was sure. Sometimes I feel like it's so crazy that a person is actually growing inside me! It's still hard to believe that I am almost half way through the pregnancy sheesh. As far as moving to E

Simply Whelmed...

Over the past few days I have felt completely stressed and busy yet also extremely bored and under stimulated. I have been both overwhelmed and underwhelmed, and I can't decide which is worse. Recently I have been so frustrated I just want to scream and cry. Maybe my pregnancy emotions are again to blame for them, if so, I have to say that they (pregnancy hormones) are not making this move any easier. Besides the whole issue with trying to get a doctor on base, which is a separate issue in itself, nothing seems to be getting completely done. It seems as if we finally figure out something, another problem or issue arises. Which brings me to baby stuff. I feel so unprepared, but there is nothing I can do to become more prepared for when he arrives. I feel like there is so much I already don't know about being a parent that not being able to set up his nursery or pack my hospital bag is making me feel even worse. A lot of my friends I see on facebook who are pregnant have the

My so called schedule

So I have a new respecct for single parents. This past week my daily schedule has gotten a little more routine, which I am greatful for, I know things will probably change but so far this is what a day in the life of Max and I looks like. Wake up is between 6 and 7am. I usually feed him in bed and then get up to change him and head downstairs to get start the coffee and get some breakfast. Max is usually the most happy in the mornings and I can get some good smiles out of him. We play a little, and he sits in his nap nanny while I eat some breakfast. We play a little more, I drink coffee and by 8 or 8:30 he is getting fussy and ready for a morning nap. I usually have to take him to the laundry room, to hear the dryer, and rock him some before he is down. He will sleep about on hour in his nap nanny downstairs. I take this opportuntiy to get dressed, wash my face and brush my teeth. If I have extra time, I will play around on the computer (like right now) or get some things done, like
