29 weeks of the 2nd pregnancy (7th month) – confession, thoughts, self being

Posted on February 7, 2011 by zlatavaskova — 1 Comment

Imagine that, 7th month started

I can not believe the calendar already, because I am promising myself to write more often about my feelings, just not to forget what is happening during this wonderful time, but the time is just passing under my hands and I can not catch it.

There is alway something else to do. But now I took some time just for myself and actually Carlito. Yes it is official now. I am expecting second boy. Most of you, my friends you know it. I wrote it last time but after the ultra sono in 25th weeks, we saw it 🙂 …yes again these few cm extra which makes difference 🙂

Carlito probably knows that I am joking about him, because he is kicking me, maybe some night stretching or salsa dancing practice, but I feel already his movements. It is the most exciting time for each mom I think when you start to feel that your baby is moving insight. Because then you start to recognize him more. Since 7th month, babies start to hear and be more interactive with light. So it is curious, how Carlito is reacting to Edie.

I think that they will be nice couple. Edie is already recognizing and pointing to my belly if we ask him: Where is the mimi? or Where is your brother? And it is nice to see him that he goes and kisses the belly or tries to caress him. Not always, sometimes he punches me too, but it is more because of game. Most often he is kissing his little brother. I am thinking how is the best way to tell him, to prepare him, but I feel it more naturally as process. I was already watching with him some books, where they were showing pregnancy and he recognized baby in belly and pointed on my belly. So for me is curious that such a little child like Edie can make clear connections.

And something about me, my feelings, my thoughts, my activity…….something about “little carrier” ……as Carlos called me once, sweetly and softly 🙂

In general I feel great, surprisingly I do not have any problems, like I had with Edie, no pains in my back, no pain in my hips. As I wrote I just had a bit harder belly which is signal of lack of Magnesium and too much wight and rush. But besides that I am more than fine 🙂
Everyday I used to have same cycle, during the morning I drive Edie to the kinder, he stays there until 12am. During that time I used to work and o Skupiner stuff. Now I started to help also one of our partner with promotion strategy and marketing advices. We focused on healthy business, so called green products. I like this topic, because it is something what is improving our life. So it is also hobby connected with work.
After I pick Edie from kinder I am usually with him at home or with friends, or managing necessary things relating to household, business, family etc. Simply what is needed. Our day has to be full of activities, otherwise he is board and than he does mess. So it is much easier to use his energy wisely and make him clean, sort the things, play, be creative, be just active, do some sport. What ever, just to be active. We cook together, clean, sort, everything. He loves that, it is helpful and we spend time meaningfully.

Durin the weeks I try to arrange also household, although my mum is angel so she is helping me a lot. Without her I would not be able to manage soooo many things as I am. Because now in Skupiner I am responsible for partners, for copywriting, for promotion of deals, for post sales, partially for customer support………..so many things to do. And I really want to have still social life. So all together there are always planty of things to do and organize. Now I am in the process of organizing Edies 2nd B-day and also running around my dad which is sick. He got pneumonia of both lungs, so there will be long time for his healing process. And since Carlos is in Venezuela now, I really tries to spend time outside and not to pay attention that we are separated for short time.

I was thinking which kind of pregnancy I am living now. Because I feel balanced. I feel happy that I am running my business, meeting tens of new people every day. Having negotiation on everyday basis and sometimes nice and sometimes not that nice. But generally I met very nice people with many life and business stories. And I was thinking whether Carlito can feel it and I will grow from him good sales manager 🙂 Becasue till now he had with me at least 50 business mtgs 🙂 if not more!

I have to confess that I do not have much time to do sport. Like I would like to, but I do no have spear energy and I also consider that Edie is good exercising tool by himself. To be running around him, to make him walk, jump, crawl, ride me as horse etc. Makes me active enough. And probably more naturally than to being exercising in some fitness. So conclusion there is no need for special treatment if you have Edie. He is like Duracel batteries. They will never stop!

In general I am happy to have my second pregnancy. I feel mostly enthusiastic. I sing songs like before, we talk with Carlito, I try to rest, especially when Edie is sleeping and I try to go to bed around midnight. Because Edie is great alarm clock (6 am max 6:3o is ouir daily routine :)). So no matter on weekdays or weekends we have our schedule done.

I would wish to have all the mums pregnancy like I have. With no problems, with good feelings about themselves. I feel that I am growing another happy baby and wish Carlito nice life. We are expecting him on 26. 4. 2011 but let’s see when he will decide to see us. At least he should wait until Carlos will come.

Mahandas Gandhi once said: No matter what you do! It is the most important that you do that! So I believe that every single things I do in my life is worth and that it will contribute to the creation of new Carlito’s life and development of Edie’s life too. I am looking forward to hugs soon my both suns and I am certainly not afraid of the demanding care because of 2 kids. I would call it more excitement. The great thing is. If you do not have experience in certain field, you have no idea what is waiting for you! And that is the unanimous life truth!

And one more Quote from Gandhi: A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.…….and that is certainly what drives my enthusiasm and my energy. My life optimism is the way of my being!

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

I have hard belly…..do you know what it means?

Posted on February 4, 2011 by zlatavaskova — Leave a comment

Hard belly

That is quite curious thing from your body how to say…..hey future mom, slow down 🙂

Since I have more experience with pregnancy after Edie, when I did not know anything about feeling, about how the healthy pregnancy should look like. I just felt great! Now I am more concern and warn by things I have learned before……..so what I try to say you is one little learning.

Women body is wonderful. Always communicating things which are good for me and my baby, it is enough just to listen. And during the last check up when doctor asked me: How do you feel? I said GREAT! Just that my belly gets hard too often. And she said: How often you feel it heart? I said, nearly all the time.

She looked at me and said: Slow down please if you do not want to deliver know. Because hard belly menas that your body is reacting to the weight you are putting on yourself and also it is too early to have contractions. I am now in 29 weeks of pregnancy (learn 7 month) and still 2 more heading.

What is the basic cure and few rules to keep:

do not carry heavy weight……..ok I try to not to carry Edie, trolley and shopping bags in the same time 🙂
do not run too much ———hmm little hard if you have Edie, which is either running around me or just jumping on my back and he wants me to ride like horse and also I keep in my mind if I am running for some appointment with partner, that he can wait .Nobody is usually on time so I am excused from being late too 🙂
take lot of magnesium – it will relax the uterus and give some extra strength
I also bought special holding belt for my belly…..yes I have to confess a bit, after the first pregnancy the belly muscles are weaker, also I gained so far more weight (but ok, only 4 more Kg from my normal weight so far :)) and with my C-cut my belly hurts just a bit more……….but it is just sometimes

So my resume was easy:

I have to rest more
If I feel tired I just fo and sleeps…because my mom is little angel and is taking care of Edie, if she sees that I do not feel totally ready
And I try to organize my time in the way that I have active and leasure moments.
I started to use magnesium pills……they are helping nearly immediately

Wish you all the best! Learn with me 🙂

We have to always think what we are doing for the little life we are having under our heart.

Edie and his 22-23 month report

Posted on January 28, 2011 by zlatavaskova — Leave a comment

Almost 2 years anniversary

I want to wrap up Eide the most biggest improvements and also share with you some fun stories, because there are planty of things happening and I could be writing each day some story and I should as good mom. But I have to confess, there is not much time left, after I work, after I play and teach Edie and have some time for myself. So at least what I am living with Edie on daily basis and I do remember.

His vocabulary:

In general he improved a lot in all spheres. He got to the point, that he started to repeat nearly all the words of mine like monkey. If he want he tries to repeat everything what I said. But he mumbles it in his way. But words which he is using on everyday basis are mostly Czech, so for non czech speakers to understand I will explain also in English.

Bobo – bobecek (poo)
čuri čuri – curani (to pee)
pití = drink
mliško – mléko (milk)
hačí
hají
pače – pláče
bebe – bolístka, bebínko
bum – he hit hymself
gatě -kalhoty
papapu – papučky
ham ham – jídlo
čihy – stříhat
brrrrr = tudí – studět (something is being cold)
pájí – pálet (smth. is being hot)
čau – bye bye
today he said bye bye to Daria, while she was leaving our home
ouko – oko (eye)
brm brm = auto (car)
haf haf = pes (dog)
pipipi = pták (bird)
myš = mouse
čiči = kočka (cat)
hapy hapy – hopsat (to jump on my back and to be riding me)
procim procim = prosím (please)
miško = mléko
hepa hepa = arepa (special Venezuela corn pancake) = he also makes the movements with his hands like if you are doing them
babi – babička (grandma)
tati = táta (dad)
mami = máma (mother)
Edu = Eduardo (he is pointing himself)
He can easily recognize who is who in family and he is pointing to the members of family including himself.

The conversation we had and I had to laugh a lot:

Edie was a bit tired and he did not want to eat something and was complaining a bit. Than he started to cry a bit and said:

Edie: pače! (is crying)

Me: Who is crying?

Edie: Ouko!

Me: Who’s oko is crying?

Edie: bebe! And pointed to his burned finger 🙂

We had to really laugh with my mum, we were surprised that he is able to react that nicely, even not every time it makes total sence 🙂

Another funny story which happened was that he burned his fingers and part of the palm. But the question is how? He loves to be cooking with me, so I taught him how to switch the owen and also cooker. So as he was used to he went to the kitchen and when Carlos was taking care of him and that time was talking to some customers Edie went straight to the owen, started it up and put his home shoes insight. After some time he saw that they are well done and they started to smell eve, so he wanted to take them out. He opened the owen and took them out. But they were hot and he got surprised and he touched the iron plate insight and ogt burned. His reaction was not scandalous. He was not crying like crazy even though he was burned. He just said: Pááááájíííí (it is being hot) and he was showing his burned hand to Carlos. When I came home the first think he did was that he came and started to explain me by showing his hand and the owen what happened and it was easy to understand. I hope that this learning will give him the best school of life about owen being hot and that he SHOULD NOT TOUCH IT AGAIN. As we were telling him 100 times before! So his homes shoes were well done together with his hand 🙂

His skills:

he can put his sox and partially his pans
he can eat on his own, no problem if he wants, if he like something a lot, he is using his hands
he is drinking from the cup, sometimes he spills, but for example milk, he does not spill anything because he loves it
he can cut paper with small and big scissors
he can put the can put his home shoes and also outdoor shoes
he can put his mittens and cup
He is very clean boy = after the eating he need to use the paper napkin to clean his dirty hand and mouth, also if he feels during the eating that he gets dirty and he need to take a cup and drink. He is also peeing into his blue cup rather than to the bathtub where he is having bath. He is also used to to pee as a guy, he does not like to sit and pee. Although so far he like to do poo into his diaper. He always hides himself and does what he need 🙂 and then he just comes and said bak bak or bobo and I know and smell too :)!

What he loves to do:

participate in everyday activities
cooking = he can already smash eggs, scramble them, so he is ready to prepare egg bread, mix anything in the pot = he also understands the connections. For example if I finish cooking the potatoes, he goes and gives me the machine for doing potato puree, or if we are cooking pasta he knows that in the end he has to use the colander to extract the water. Also if I need to open the can he automatically passes me the can opener.
cleaning = he loves to play with water when I am washing dishes and also vacuum cleaning, he is riding the vacuum cleaner and if I ut him special extension he is vacuum cleaning
sweeping the floor = with broom and shuffle
hanging the clothes
sorting clothes and passing things between people
he loves to observe the workers = painters, electicians, in general manufacturers = his granddad bought him already some toys like saw, meter etc. He loves also real tools like drill, spikes etc. he is carefully observing what is hapenning

It is almost unbelievable for me how many things changed in last two month. I would say that mainly he gained more awareness about himself, he started to connect more things and started to get the connecting in between activities, things and tools, his surrounding. His talking and expressions became also much better. He is sharing things at least with other kids, if not with me. He is rather teasing me 🙂 If he wants he perfectly understand everything I am asking him. To trash thing, to sort out the things. He is still very organized and he is putting tools and his toys on the exact place where they should be or we seted up. Even he took long broom when we were playing on the ground, he picked some dirt from it and showed me that I should swept the floor arond us, because it is dirty! Imagine that!

He is also going out of his bed easily, so every morning he goies out to kiss me and wake me up. lates at 7am. He sleeps also only once in the afternoon after lunch. But it is fine. He also likes to brush his teeth and does routines every morning and night.

His schedule is simply like this:

From Monday to Thursday (on Friday he is not going to kinder so we can enjoy whole day together:

we wake up at 6.30 am, bathroom, brush our teeth and pee like a man
get dressed and have a breakfast
after I take Edie to kinder where he is playing with kids and finishes at cca 12.15 pm
After we are together, doing creative things, daily activities an everything what is needed
He has snack time at 3, 5pm and from 6-7 we are cooking, then bathing and going to bed
He used to sleep whole night, only bad dream or thirst is waking him up, but it is enough to caress him and he continues sleeping.

I hope that you enjoyed the “short story” I wil also put some pictures and videos afterwards. But now I am just thinking that he is growing such fast that I still see him as little baby and he will turn soon 2 years. That is exactly what I thought as teenager that I will never say. But with new experience I start to understand life proven phrases and that you can not avoid them. Edie is just amazing child, he used to share with his friends, more than with mom, he is rather teasing me. He used to go out of his bad in the morning, he kisses me and our days starts. So I am having very lovely time with him, demanding but lovely and that is probably what parenting is about! To enjoy your life together and learn from each other!

Time without daddy Carlos

Posted on January 26, 2011 by zlatavaskova — Leave a comment

Time without daddy

title sounds sad but time is not said. I was just about to say few words about it to ensure all our close once that we are fine and managing.

More to say is that since Carlos left, and I saw him leaving in the bus I told myself. There is no space for being tired, being sad and be blaming anybody that I have to do more things on my own. Contrary. For me it is nice challenge and anyway I am not alone. Here is family, my mom is helping us a lot too, there are friends if needed. So we are not alone at all.

I even got pumped by energy to do more things, to be more planning the time to manage everything. I am still working for Skupiner with full power. Project is running. Edie attends nursery school in the morning and whole afternoon we are together. I am managing with emails and partners meetings and as you can see, time is just flying. So our count down of the time for dady to come back will be fast.

But as I said, I feel that everything in our life is matter of self programing. If I should be sad that he had to leave and did not support him, we would not be multiplying our eford of our own businesses and we would not support our future dreams. So instead of being sad I feel excited about new things which are coming.

And just to show you that I am not hiding myself to the world and we are enjoying every moment with Edie, I will share with you Edies moment of designing and styling 🙂

We just love to play! Am I sexy in the panties had? Heheheheheeh

Thank you Edie for wonderful time!

Kids cough and tips for cure

Posted on January 18, 2011 by zlatavaskova — Leave a comment

Cough, sneezing, running nose

These and many other effects has the flue. Virus illness which is bothering most of the European population in this time. Because weather is changing, we are moving from warm homes to the coldness outside. And all together with lack of sun, fresh food from planted from our ground and other sick people around makes the effect of being sick.

Virus of cold can look differently, there are hundreds types of them among us 🙂

I am happy that I finally cured myself after being 4 full weeks sick, but since I rather focus my mind to another things, I was just more suffering because of Eide being sick. But I would love to share with you simple steps how to help your darlings to cope with cough and running nose while they are little. He is 22 month old.

What to do if your baby is coughing with dry cough:

we should keep them in warm environment, not to be changing too much hot and cold, like we are facing now in winter
avoid things which are provoking cough, like thirst, dusty environment and strong smells and powder food, sometimes this can start long cough process.

What is though more bothering is then part II, mucous cough, what to do in this case

avoid milk products, when it is the worst – milk creates the muco/sputum
keep your baby warm, put more clothes, certainly avoid draft, it creates more of coughing feeling
while bathing your baby try to keep him in the water and if possible, be “knocking” on his back for few minutes – this advise gave me my pediatrician, cause he had lot of sputum in his chest and this is a way how to “cut them” and enable him to cough parts of it out
use hot tea, rather than medicines – in my experience works natural way more than other medicines, or use natural sirups, herb base on bass-wood (lipa), plantain (jitrocel) and in CR we have special mineral water Vincentka, which works nicely too also for running nose we have it as drops or spray.
For sweetening tea you can use honey rather then sugar, but be careful. Honey works like sirups for provoking you to cough muco out, so if you or your child will be coughing too much, just stop to use it. Otherwise for our case it worked fine. It is sweet, kids likes the taste and tend to drink more liquid soooooo important in the process of curing.
Another good advise is to put termophore (hot-water bottle0 )into the bed of baby while going to the bed. It will keep him warm and also serve as moco melter. In czech Republic they sell nice once, looks like toy and you can hide the hot bottle insight. So your child will hug it with love and it will have even healing effects. 🙂

Do not give medicines after 5pm. because it will provoke your baby cough even in the time of sleeping and night resting. That is what we do not want.
If you can let your baby to blow nose often if he can, luckily Edie learned to blow or use moco extractor. Do not let your baby to keep too much moco in his head and do not let him swallow. It will higher concentration in his body and cause inflammation of middle year or cavities and that is really painful.

And that’s it my dears, I hope that you like my advices and they will be useful also for you. I can just say that we are now happy and healthy but the pandemia of flue should still come to my home country, so lets see.

Good health!

How to teach your baby to cook?

Posted on January 4, 2011 by zlatavaskova — 2 Comments

Cooking and eating with Edie

There is not such a think like that. They are just there with you and if you want to avoid your kids in the kitchen you will be rather punished by them than you will reach your goal.

I can prove easily that Edie loves cooking. I think that he already found the magic of helping in the kitchen. Because it is not work, it is fun and there is always something worth to try, worth to mix, worth to eat and taste. There are always good things as leftovers and you will be never hungry. And you know how funny it is to see him sneeaking close by pots, trying to put his head insight just to see what is insight? And then to hear jeeee, juuuuu, jiiiii his surprised smiling face 🙂

I have more fun with him than troubles. He is such a clean boy in his way. If he gets dirty he is looking for a napkin to clean his little fingers. He loves to mix things in the pot and the most be pouring and adding different things into the food.

Look how he was helping me while preparing potato christmas salad. We were like manufacture. I was peeling potatoes and he was kind of smashing them or pushing them through the iron form.

And if you still do not believe me that he likes cooking look how he was helping to cook when we were visiting our AIESEC friends during the New Years time. Edie as a big chef.

And proof of all his likeness of the kitchen adventures and all processes which are happening. There is this short video. Because he likes to eat, without any doubts and look how he can be even mean to me, his mom if he likes something. This is actually soup with little drops/soup dumplings/kapani simply something tasty 🙂

And you know what, my simple advice in the end: If you want your baby to learn how to cook. Simply let him participate and make your kitchen a bit dirty and his hands too. He will love it. He will learn the recipes simply by doing. Isn’t it great?

To play with your child is better than to spend hours in psychoterapist

Posted on January 4, 2011 by zlatavaskova — Leave a comment

Game against the nerve’s problems

I just want to share with you one finding which I did, and I would be happy to let you think about it and share your opinion.

I have found that that if I am playing with Edie happens things like:

My head thoughts stop to run through my head
I focused on creative work
My mind relaxes and its frekvence slows down
I take energy from my son, he is like source of heat, of something special which can calm down your body
Kids has the gift to be focused and they are bothered only by the success or failure happening in close presents. They are actors of its presence rather than past or future.
To play with Edie and be able to create something by my hands gives me peace, calmness and creative feeling which results in great ideas afterwords
If I need to rest, to play with him is the best way how o calm down my mind and disconnect me from the outer world
To play with Eide gives me possibility to see world through his eyes, everything becomes micro, start to have formas and clear division. As he can tear a paper, cut the shapes, pour the water, cut a peace of food, create a building from the cubics…….something and nothing. Everything has its purpose and reason. Not like before. Nothing is obvious. Everything have to be tried and proved how it works and from what it consists of. It gives great deal to your analytical part of the mind.

I would just wish to everybody the chance to have a baby in your close environment and play with him in a way of observing it. You will relearn to connect with the world and its essence as kids can. We lost this opportunity long time ago, while taking things for granted. We are not asking that many questions any more, we consider things the way they are. Our curiosity can be restored and our mind can be blessed with new ideas and energy, which is based in the hearts and minds of our babies.

By playing with our babies we combat not only against our sick mind. The most importan effect in the end is the synergy which we are creating between us and them. The time spend together, the understanding and mutual connection, mind healing and heart linking. Never be so far from them. I wish you to have opportunity to spend such kind of the time I have spend with Edie. This time is ours, it appreciated and is being cared. Switch off TV, Radio and any disturber. Just be only you and your child. Observe, share,talk to him and sing your favorite song and do not let anybody to steal your time.

This I wish you from the bottom of my heart and mind. Enjoy every moment!

Christmas time in wild wild central Europe

Posted on January 3, 2011 by zlatavaskova — Leave a comment

Christmas and New Year’s Eve,

what a special days in the year. We are living ordinary 24 hours day but with special filling of it. We try to be nicer, we try to be together, we try to do more thing for each other. And everything in the name of Christmas and Jezisek or Santa as you prefere.

I was just thinking what great time we had and how to remember, that’s why I decided to take some time and wrote short post about it. This story will be about time of celebration. Not only the Christmas day but everything what had been happening before and after.

Christmas for me especially is the day when we should spend most of the time together. In the Central European culture it means, stay with your family, in the nuclear little circle of people who are the most closest to you. But since my family is from mixed marriage, we also share our mixed ideas. And in Venezuela people are celebrating with those who are closest to their hearts, that’s why sometimes it looks like second New Year’s Eve party. People gather together and celebrate not only with close family but also with their close friends, close neighbors, close anybody and everybody.

Our Christmas time begane already with Edie performance in his kinder garten. It was soo funny. All the little babies with their mums. Some of them just crying because momies were just observers not actors, some of them were enjoying. And Edie I think he was happy and confused in the same time. Whole show was starting at 4 pm and it is usual Edie sleeping time. So of course before we went to kinder he fall asleep in the car and when we woke him up he looked like: “little sleepy and confused doggie” and I think that he was all the time just dreaming about his little friends. We were not pushing him to perform or anything, we were just enjoying time with him and with other parents. Just have a look and make your own opinion. I think they were great and whole time was great effort from the teachers who prepared everything for us. Even they had foto session with kids. Lovely.

pictures from the Kindergarten Christmas Event

Edie he took part in the performance on the side of observer rather than actor 🙂

We were doing also candel holders. It was nice idea. But the kids were not supposed to eat the apples. We did not manage. Edie he bited his immediately when he got it. But I think we manage nicely our task.

….and of course when we were done with our task and show was over Edie woke up totally and started to run around and be crazy. So in the end was difficult to catch him 🙂 but I managed.

We applied same Venezuelan model for Christmas celebration in Brno and I am happy of it. So in the end we were together with my mom, with our business partners Johny and Daria and also their two friends from Bulgaria and Poland. Nice, mixed and more free feelings. We have not been so tight to the traditions and could spend more curious time. Before we seted up our Christmas table I have to admit, that we had lot of preparation, because our home is being reconstructed and the rooms where should have been and was in the end the celebration dinner was not ready yet. But with all the christmas decorations and christmas tree and mood, I think that all imperfections were forgotten and we felt just great that we are together.

Just have a look how were enjoying also the preparation time. Cleaning, decorating X-mas tree, preparation of food etc.

Let’s clean

Let’s decorate the Christmas tree

And we also went to Zoo to spend some time with nature and we are used to share food with animals in this speacial day.

After the ZOO, we went straightly to the grandparents place to wish them all the best and share some nice lunch time and common time with them. This is special moment for me since they are already quite old. Understand around 80 years, but still in nice conditions mentally and physically. Then we were running home to finish preparations for the dinner and our friends.

It could not be missing big pot of potato salat. Someting really traditional for the Czech Republic.

And after the dinner we started to share the presents. It was more for Edie, but we did not expect that already first present will be that much entertaining for him that he will not want to see the others. Such a nice boy. So in the end we let him enjoy his little train Tomas and his clip cubics and decided that we will unpack the rest of presents with him the day after, like in the american style.

On the 25th of december we also invited my dad, Edie’s grandfather to share time with us and be with our family a bit more.

And our wonderful family and magical time was over. It is such unbelievable thing that you are preparing for that day so many days, weeks and do not know what else and after, it just matter of few hours and everything is over. That’s why i was happy that everything went smooth and we were rather enjoying than being said from anything what was not exactly according to our previous plans.

We wish you Merry Christmas and especially all the best to the New Year which already began. Enjoy everyday of your lives and actually I will have another big change. I will became double mom, so let’s see how it feels and how it is……I am just looking forward 🙂

And now short video from our Christmas time. It is going to be one nice mixture of moments which I described above. It will be my first i-movie. So let’s learn and do it. 🙂

First proper winter of Edie

Posted on December 12, 2010 by zlatavaskova — Leave a comment

Snow snow and again snow

What is good news that Edie likes it. He does not mind about coldness, he understood how much he has to dress and that he has to be protected to be happy in the snow and cold weather.

He enjoys the snow fall. When the little flakes are falling to his face and sitting on his long eyelashes. He is laughing like crazy. I did not realize whether it is tickling him or what. but for me is the most important that our tropical baby enjoys also snow.

And because the weather is changing so fast, I am using every possible time with him to enjoy the winter games. I want to share with you our last trip to grandparents. There were plenty of snow and we could slide on sledge with Edie. Actually for Carlos it was for first time also on this type of sledge in Czech called “Boby”.

Enjoy with Edie his snow play time:

Winter game can not be missed without friends. Look how cute they are. Kaja, Edie and Kubik Vytiskovi.

Half time of the second pregnancy passed (20 weeks))

Second life

sounds a bit weird, like the video game, but it is true and real life. Yes you will not believe me but my belly is growing. I can feel more and more everyday my second baby to grow. Sometimes he kicks me and remind himself.

yes i used “he” because the doctor said” it will be boy” and we asked “How do you know” we did not see anything on the pictures? And she said” I know because I am doing my work for few years already”……….so like this we know………..but who really knows, only mother nature will tell us.

Although I am happy to be expecting second son, if yes then I said Carlos that we will have little Carlito. But he wants Hana Lucia…….so he will get third try, do not worry 🙂

And how is my time so far:

my belly looks much bigger than with Edie. I am in 20 weeks but I feel like I would be in 2 more month later.
I do not have that many sick feelings like before, just when I am carrying too much Edie or heavy weight, which I am not supposed to, but try it:)
I feel little Carlito from time to time, he kicks and than he sleeps and he is relaxing
i try to be calm and relax although we are running skupiner.cz which is bringing me many thoughts and rush.

But all over I am looking forward for our little one. And i am already imagining how it will be. How Edie will be taking care of his little brother, how he will be pinching his eyes how he will be challenging him.etc.

And now share with us the special time when we were watching little Carlito
