2 month with Carlicek and 28 month with Edie

June 24, 2011 · Filed under Baby development, Parenting

2 months new story and 2 years and 4 months continuation

Most of you my dear friends who are readers of my blog knows, that we have our new angel among us. And most of you will now believe me, that it is already 2 months since he was born. Imagine that….time flies and now having two sons I feel it even more :)

But I will not bother much this time by my phylosophical introductory thoughts and will go immediately into the point.

So how was Carlito second month of his life:

  • he started with weight of 4,5 kg and now he put 1,3 kg more….uff he start to be heavy and with nice and sweet Michelines on his legs :) I call him full fat baby because I have probably full fat milk as I can see.
  • He grown also, he was 56 cm long and now he is (we have to go for check up still, so I will tell you soon) :)
  • He is very smily baby, compare to Edie, he cries only when there is something serious happening in his life, gasses, hunger or he is sleepy
  • He is curious, that is something common in our family I guess, so he wants to be carried rather than to stay in his bed or in the trolley….he loves the carrier like Eide did, so I have back my baby infront of me..not in the belly but on the belly :)
  • He is though calmer, that is for sure, he can be also on his own some time, just lying in the sofa, next to me, observing things around….something nice to see, that he is silently curious…….yessss I can also work a bit :)
  • How is he sleeping: nicely, he used to stay much more in his cradle, which is great, because Edie he did not like it much and he was most of the time in our bed. So at least work of my dad while creating cradle is worth it now.
  • Carlicek was travelling with us everywhere so far. He likes that thought same as Edie he does not like the car seat, so I used to have to carry him or feed him during our car ride…not comfortable, but I got trained already, so nothing new :) …..there is something curious on our babies like Carlos said, both does not enjoy this car seat, both start to cry in it and does not want to fall asleep. Totally reverse effect than kids used to have. I believe that this will be until the time he will sit and could see outside, like Edie, since that time he likes to go by car…so lets see….so far, feeding and not allowed carrying baby.
  • Carlicek also very nicely holds his had, he is strong baby and even sometimes he tries to push himself forward, so I even got afraid that he will start to crawl soon……..Eide would be happy
  • He is wearing clothes in the size of 62-68, so he is growing fast…..uffff
  • He is not luckily too fragile, otherwise he will not survive his brother, he does not get scared if Edie is jumping around him, if he plays with him hide and seek and pulls his legs or hand. He is happy to observe his active sometimes crazy brother.
  • The think I enjoy the most is that they love each other. I hope that we are supporting their feelings for each other also for the future.
  • And here you can see much more pictures form Carlito second month life

And because there is not any more story just of one guy I will put now few things about Eide too:

Edie has grown a lot

  • He is speaking quite nicely in his kids language, he is mixing czech and spanish words, in a way he likes that
  • Czech and Spanish favourite wocabulary: bakan (bagr), bum bac, paaa ven salia (let go out, salir-leave), snek-caracol (snale), jahudky, bindak-bib, papapu-snickers, moto, bussss, auto, pohadky, krtecek, kralik -koheno (corrrecly is conejo-rabbit), mariposa-motyl (buterfly), kubeda-had (corretly is culebra – snake), oria-mrkev (corretly is zanahoria-carrot), bambuky – brambory (potatoes), gate -pantalones(pans), pina (diaper), stul, velky stul (big table)……..and many other words, he is grasping every day something new. And he is making already some stories, like bum bac, spadnul, plakal, oko. Carlicek place (carlito is crying) etc.
  • He is making mistake with nahuru (up) and dolu (down) – using it wise versa
  • He started to recognize colours, green (verde, zelena), modra -azul(blue), cervena-roho (red)
  • He understand basically everything, the question is what he wants to understand more than what he can :)
  • He is terribly active, he needs to spend lot of energy outside, at least 3 and more hours per day, especially now when there is good hot weather outside
  • He is very skillful to be overcoming any obstacle, he love to climb and discover new places
  • Last time he was cca 13Kg and 96 cm long
  • Also he had his first histerical incident on the sand yard with me, it was on 13.6. and I will remember very well forever I think. I just asked him to go home and  we had to leave, so he started to cry, lye down on the sand yard and did not want to leave at all. So I had to drag him and was pulling him after me. So all the mums were looking at me like at some herodes mum, because he was hysterical crying and I just kept going out. No motivation even Krtecek did not work. And even in the tram he was still crying until we got home. My mom just said: It reminds me somebody…..hehe just some her memories for my childhood. So basically I even can not be angry of him, since he has my energy.
  • And Edie loves to play with cubicles, so thanks Good Carlos is great constructor and has great immagination, so they are building together, here is their LEGO album

I think that most will say the pictures and videos I tried to make in time to be able to track my guys, so by albus which is in picassa web you will see the most and also videos on youtube, I will put here for you to see.

And the story continues

Carlitos first month

May 17, 2011 · Filed under Baby development, Parenting, second pregnancy · Tagged , , ,

1 month = 30 days

Do you know what can happen in 30 days after you are born? if not then keep up reading and learn more about Carlitos life.

A little bit of statistics and facts:

  • He was born on 23.4. 2011 ( Edie was born on 23.2. 2009)
  • His weighted 3050 gr. and his length was 50 cm.
  • The time of his birth was 13:30 (Eduardo was born at 13:45…….nice coincidence).
  • When he was born he was crying, but they put him close to my face and he stopped. Probably he smelled me and could recognize me…….. such a wonderful moment that I started to cry.
  • Carlito was sleeping since beginning even 3-4 hours, something I did not experience before, I could even read a book in the hospital, something amazing for me. And instead of being stressed I very much enjoyed every moment with him. I was even helping other moms who were with me in the hospital. So curious. One was 36 and the other 39, both had their first child and both were a bit out of experience. Of course….. there is big difference of having the first and the second baby.
  • He has nice dark hair and big dark eyes. His skin color is closer to Venezuelan mix, as I would call it. He is not white like snowflake, like our babies in Czech Republic tend to be.
  • I did not want to compare, but can not hold myself. His look is very close to Eduardos. But he has my shape of lips and his head is a bit smaller with oval shape rather than rounded like Edie had.
  • His palms are not closed, he is having them videly opened and he is very strong. He usually grabs everything what is close to him.
  • He is holding his head more than fine. He is turning it to be able to see the whole interesting world around him. Definitely his curiosity is big and he loves to be exploring the world.
  • Luckily I have milk since the second day,  so I am feeding him. In this time I do not suffer from  nipple pain, at least not that much like with Edie. And I have more milk. So for Carlito it always takes only few minutes cca 5-10 to be feeded. Edie used to drink like 45 min. and then he was resting 15 min. And everything all over again.
  • Carlito is sleeping more on his own, in his bed. But during the night I have him with me in our bed, just to have him close and have easy time for breastfeeding. And also I don’t want to miss contact with my little angel. it is easier to control him if he is alive and sleeping and keep him warm.

And what did he experienced so far?

  • In his first week we took him for witch burning, since his grandma and grand-auntie from Venezuela are here on a visit, so we went with them.

  • He visited his both grandparents every weekend, in Brno and in the countryside (Javurek)
  • He visited Prague, to be presented at the Venezuelan embassy, since we want him to be registered as Venezuelan citizen too
  • He went with me for one business meeting in the company Anamax, which does HQ movies
  • And he spent most of his time  with his brother Eduardo who loves him very much. Eduardo is really happy when we let him carry Carlito and he is huging him all the time.

I think that Carlito is happy to be with us, he is smiling many times. I hope that you will enjoy our short story. That you will see that life is going on and many things can be managed with one, two and maybe in the future with three kids ;-)

Carlos has a message for you, since he was 4 days old he was smiling. There is nothing more powerful in this world that a smile and having a positive thinking. If you will keep your mind open and a smile on your face, believe me that many positive things will come to your life.

KEEP SMILING!

Second delivery – how was this one

May 3, 2011 · Filed under Baby development, second pregnancy, thoughts · Tagged , , , , ,

Planning, C-cut and little angel Carlito

I decided to write a bit from the delivery time. Since I had in my head soooo many thoughts about how was my second pregnancy, how was the preparation for delivery and many other topics, but from all of that I decided to write only one post, picking something from every corner.

Just briefly about the pregnancy time:

Whole time seemed to be short. Much shorter than with Eduardo. There was not much time to enjoy that deeply although deeply in my heart I was looking forward to have my belly already gone and exchanged for the baby insight. All 9 month passed with the speed of fast train and during that time I managed several things I am proud of it. As most of my friends were saying, I am crazy, too active, you should rest more I think that in stead of that I was speeding the process. Just to share last month of the pregnancy my days were pretty bussy. Everyday my agenda was full till the last moments.

So to make you understand how the days of pregnant women can look like:

2 weeks before the delivery time I started to work for company Marz, which  is making dresses to the hospitals. To be able to provide our customers with fitting and custom made dresses I had to carry 30 Kg luggage with me, but easy after carrying Eduardo together with his trolley and shopping bags I had good training

I had several meeting with the companies because of Skupiner and also Breakfast for Business and Women association of enterpreneurs and managers in Brno. So all together made my days full of meetings. In the morning Marz and afternoon some meeting. I used to take Edie with me to cafeteria or made it in the time that my mom could take care of him. Belly was going with me :) so Carlito had more than 10 meetings in that time.

My health was strong and I felt mostly full of energy. Even Carlos did not want me to go for him to pick him in the airport, but since I had on 17th of april business trip to Breclav because of Marz dressing I could continue to Viena driving and pick my husband there and drive back. I was happy to have him here. Eduardo was so much laughing to see his daddy back and it was such natural come back like he would never leave Brno. Even he was gone for 3 months. He even stucked in Caracas for one more day, so he came to Brno not on the 17th but on the 18th of April. Coincidence but managable.

Last week of my pregnancy was also bussy, on Monday as I said I picked up Carlos from the airport, on Tuesday I had still to go and take few measures for Marz in one drug store and then I run to the hospital for general check up, how is Carlito. After I had nice food massage, which made me very relaxed. On Wednesday we had last meeting with business women club, you can see that we were enjoying together with Edie and we met interesting ambassador. She spend many years in Kenya and she made very interesting presentation. You can have a look here.

We also made trips to enjoy with Eduardo, since our daddy was not here so I tried to make our time interesting for us. We spend our time being together and enjoying.

And simply said: the time was gone. 9 month were over and I had to be ready to deliver. Carlos was here back in Brno, in the hospital they told me since my previous C-cut, I had to deliver to the date which was 22/23rd of april, so there was no more choice. Carlos mum was on the way from Venezuela and she and auntie missed her plane in Madrid so they were one day delayed :) but she arrived anyway, instead of 22nd on 23rd of april :)

When I was going to the hospital I had 72 Kg and something over 100 cm over the belly. I manaed one more foto session in the photographer to take pictures of my belly and we did some with Carlos at home too :)

We had also wonderful last day before delivery with both guys in the park. it was sunny and I did not felt at all that I am ordered into the hospital to deliver the after. It is such a weird if they tell you YOU HAVE TO COME at this day at that time and you know that after that time you will come home with baby. Enjoy with us our last day before delivery.

And the last day was over and in the afternoon I started to feel contractions, my eyes were smiling because it was good sign that maybee I will not need initiation by doctors and whole process will go naturally as I wanted. My friend Verunka, doctor of mine advice me to have hot bath and either the delivery will continue or will stop. And it stopped. So we decided with Carlos to boost the process again and we made love……but nothings :) and after all this I stopped believe that we will deliver naturally. So on Saturday 23rd at 7 am I went to hospital. They have me pill and my contractions started again, but still just in the bottom part of by belly. This contractions continued they have me another medicaments, nothing moved, they gave me epidural nothing helped so after they broke my water and found out that it is not clean like in the case of Eduardo, we had to go for C-cut again……….hmmmm nothing to do. We had to do what is the best for baby. At least I will not miss the moment when they take baby out of my belly and I will be able to see him.

I had two new experiences during the delivery day, cloister and epidural. Both were not painful and fine. I was surprised. And both should help me to deliver naturally which did not happened. Now it does not matter. With epidural I could feel at least what is happening and when they took Carlito out he was crying. It was 13:30 and they put him to my face .When he smelled my face he stopped to cry….that moment I started to cry from happiness. My baby was born. It was beautiful and healthy boy. Carlito was with us. All the pains which we have to hold as mothers were gone and love started to expand for both of my sons.

Since that time we are full family of 4, since that time I have two angels to take care, to love and to be loved. Eduardo is kissing and caressing his brother since early beginning. Such a lovely time.

And how our family looks now when little angel came to our lives?

I would honestly wish all of you to have this opportunity to get this experience. To create your own family circule. Because there is nothing more beautiful and more exciting than to give new life to this world and also to have this opportunity to be parents.

I hope that you enjoyed this little story and that you will share with me your own one once it will come present to your lives.

With all love

Zlata to Carlito

Edie and his vocabulaly

March 23, 2011 · Filed under Baby development, Education · Tagged , ,

Edie is speaking….or let’s say mumbling something on his own

But starts to make sense and it is very funny
I was thinking that after his 2 years B-day I will not add many things about him, but there are all the time new and new moments which are worth to remember, really. Now I am going to write and share regarding to his language skills.

Before I will share with you his vocabulary I would love to share few concerns, thought, advices and observations which I have done.

How is Edie learning language the fastest and the most effective

  1. through listening…..the most efficient seems to be for him to be listening new words all over again and the most effective is when he can also see, feel or touch the thing we are talking about. It is also sufficient if he can see it, but he remembers the most while practicing of doing. I am basically describing him everything what is he doing and he is repeating like monkey, if he wants………and he want now :)
  2. He loves repetition, so I started to use also our magnet board to write him down some words and then I say them out loud. this kind of flesh card method should help him also to learn reading fast, so lets see.
  3. He love to be watching fairytales, so as my grandma said, it is great if you I am sitting next to him and I am making comments, what are we watching, what is happening there, which kind of things he can see and observe that moment……seems to be efficient a lot too. He loves the most our czech KRTECEK……the mole is the king…..and it has very nice stories which are easy to describe and learn from it. i can recommend to every parents. Just search on you tube. Here is our the most popular fairytale

Krtecek a auticko (The mole and the car) enjoy it with us:


And now after few advices, here is already the active Edie vocabulary of now he is 2 years and 3 weeks old.
he is using simple words and 2 word connections among them

And this vocabulary is only from few last days of observation, he is adding everyday another words, but soon he might speak fully, so hard to catch up all.

 

Hugs my dear friends and family…….for grandma time to learn Edies words before teaching him Spanish :)

Edie and his 2nd Bday

March 11, 2011 · Filed under Baby development, Parenting · Tagged , , , , , ,

2nd B-day of Edie

You can beleive me or not, but it is really here. 24 months passed since he was born and the date 23. february 2009 will be forever written in our hearts like the day of his birth. And since this year we are writing 2011 into our calendars, Eide reached his 2nd B-day.

 

I will share a bit statistics just to show his development but later I would like to write more about his soul and behavior.

Statistical measures:

  • His height: 85 cm
  • His weight: 12,1 Kg
  • Size of the clothes:96-104
  • Size of his shoes: number 25
  • What he can do on his own:
  • Eat by spoon, fork, cut with scissors, cut with sharp knife, drink from cup even 0,5 l big
  • He can dress his socks, sometimes trousers, shoes and home shoes
  • He can smash the egg, he can smash the potato with mixer, he can prepare egg bread
  • He knows how to walk the stairs up and down, he can manage even without holding the side holder
  • he can climb the ladder, even very steep, he loves to climb up and down different things anyway, to ride mum as horsie, be carried on my back or shoulder and be riding his little motorbike.
  • He is smart, he puts chair or little stairs everywhere where he can not reach, to be able to hit the place and all the things he wants, he manages to open doors, so there is no more privacy for us because of his new skills
  • Now we are trying to get rid of diapers, he was used to pee into the little cup while being in the bath top he never peed insight. He is very clean and neet, He prefers to clean his hands by napkins and eat by spoon, rather then by hands (depends on the mood :0) While ge goes to pee he needs to pee as real man, standing……there is no way for him to sit on the potty, he does not like it. Contrary he loves his poo. He des not want to tell me when he need to do poo. So he used to hide himself and waits until the crime is done and mum discover him smelling like hell, then he likes to share. So this will take some time, but he is learning nicely.

And now more about him, his loves, thoughts, behavior patterns:

  • Edie loves to be hugged and kissed and when we are playing with him. He is very huggable and he used to kisses us. Say bye bye, hi, thank you and please. He is very helpful. sometimes too much but it is natural. He want to see everything, try everything and taste everything. Contrary he is very careful while being in the heights. He will never go down on his own if he does not feel, up YES but down not that much.
  • He loves people. Now it is more visible. Because if there is somebody who is playing with him, paying attention and explaining new things, he immediately goes and gives him back love, by kissing him, hugging him and showing his symphaty. He love to play with little cubics, he is able to be putting them together and separate them for hours. he loves to read and go through books. Since we do not have TV at home, I mean working TV he used to watch fairytales with me on PC from youtube. com. So when he sees my laptop he is asking for Krtecek a car story (little more and car). he loves this one, he is able to watch for long time one series by another one. Thas why i let him just few for few min per day in the afternoon before going to the bed.
  • He loves to play with different buttons and wheels and testing how the things works, how people behave. He tries to provoke also, especially while being tired. He is also imitating me while I am putting make-up, or eyelash or lipstick. It is so funny to see him to repeat all my steps.
  • And even sometimes he is nervous, not listening, even I can say hundred times one think and then i have to punish him because he is not listening me. he tries hard to behave nicely and follow my advices. He loves to learn new things so he is kind observer. And since loves to see how the different things works, he is able to be patient too.
  • He is recognizing already that I am pregnant and he is nicely behaving to the belly brother Carlito. He used to kisses me and hugs my belly. He is very sensitive if I am crying and I can feel from him that he understands that it means some pain and uncomfort. In that moment he tris to come, to hug me and make me smile by doing something funny. He loves to lear funkie junkie stuff, especially what his grandfather is teaching him (like putting his tongue back with his fingers, he is teaching him wrongly how does animals etc.)
  • He loves musical instruments, music as such also doing it and dancing. He like to turn on and off the radio, at least hundred times if he starts and like to ask me for “lala” music if we are in the car travelling. I prefer to sing him if possible and he tries to repeat. If there is some song he likes he tries to dance on it. He also loves to be turning around until he is falling constantly and his head is turning while letting me say typical poems for it “Kolo kolo mlynsky, za 4 rynksy, kolo se nam polamalo, mnoho skody nadelalo, udelalo bac” and i have to say this poem at least 20 times in a row to make him happy and turning and falling :)

You know there are hundred of stories which can be said about him, since his life is full of activities. I will just mention his 2nd B-day celebration. We spend nice time in cafe Manner in Brno. Where we were with another 2 little friends Pepa from Ivanka 6 month, and Filipek from Hanicka 5 months. Rest of the friends of his age did not come since they were sick………jojo february and time of cold, flues and different kids sicknesses. But adults which were there were so nicely playing with him and makind fun, crawling on their fourth that he was obviously happy, our star of the night. You can see the pictures form the celebration here: Edies 2-Bday party .

Edie and his friends time:

Edie and Tomisek

Edie and Tomašek a Lili

 

 

Edie and Terazka

Edie and family, animals etc.

I have also more videos which I would like to put here, but there are in my phone. i will try to upload them for you here later. now I will the end and put one nice czech saying by Mr. Werich

Když už člověk jednou je, tak má koukat aby byl,

a když kouká aby byl a je, tak má bejt to co je a nemá bejt to to není,

jak tomu v mnoha případech je!

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

February 7, 2011 · Filed under Baby development, second pregnancy · Tagged , , , , , ,

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?

February 4, 2011 · Filed under Baby development · Tagged , , ,

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:

  1. do not carry heavy weight……..ok I try to not to carry Edie, trolley and shopping bags in the same time :)
  2. 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 :)
  3. take lot of magnesium – it will relax the uterus and give some extra strength
  4. 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:

  1. I have to rest more
  2. 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
  3. And I try to organize my time in the way that I have active and leasure moments.
  4. 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.

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

December 12, 2010 · Filed under Baby development, second pregnancy · Tagged ,

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

Edie and his 20-21 months life story

November 23, 2010 · Filed under Baby development · Tagged , , , , , , ,

Edie is a big boy

This title can express a lot from what I am going to tell you now. It is such unbelievable how fast he is Growing. When I started to go through the pictures and stories I have written about him I can not believe that he was little just 50 cm and weighted 3kg.

And now look at a big boy

On 23.10. he celebrated his 20th month of life. He is about 83cm long and 10,3 kg heavy. but sometimes I think that he is much more :) and now one month later it is even more. I think that since my belly is growing my hands are a bit weaker. But he still wants to ride me and he loves to do HOPY HOPY on my back, so I look like little monkie mom with him on my back :) lovely.

What to write about him:

his talking, such a fun……….hmmm ok talking it is not the right expression. He is definitely repeating words or he tries and loves some particular one.

    • papapuuu – these are “papucky” home shoes
    • piti – drink – for his bottle
    • caj – tea
    • agua – still favourite water
    • hopy hopy – momy show your back and lets jump together
    • papu, ham ham – food, hunger
    • jeste – more, one more
    • animals he understands and tries to imitate in Czech and Spanish – horse, dog, cow, goat, gorilla, dug, chicken, little chicken, cat, crab, pig – so funny I have to record him for you if possible

his motorical skills:

  • he is able to dress himself shoes, which does not have to be tight – rubber boots
  • he is able to put his cap, many times just for fun
  • he cooperates while dressing him up
  • he goes and gets things I asked him bring and treshes whatever I ask him to tresh
  • he like to help – cleaning, cooking (he loves to mix things in pot, he made with me egg bread etc)
  • he is drinking on his own from cup
  • he eats much better on his own by spoon, if he wants he does not lick
  • he is able to climb nearly what ever he wants – he climbed up from the bed, even is high enough, he found his way out——–uffff. you know how it feels if you put your baby into the bed, wished him good night and then suddenly he is coming back from the room dragging toys in his hands and saying hopy hopy……….better to laught or cry :)
  • he loves cars and engines – everything what makes sound is AUTO, no matter what
  • he is also able to put his big animal puzzle into the order
  • He is also able to ask “prosim” while putting his hands together and he does the same gesture like if you are asking for help. such a cute and effetive while I am sking him if he wants something more or I am teaching him not to scream at me but ask politely for the things.

His life in kindergarten:

  • he loves it there
  • he is able to forget me immediately we enter insight, he just kisses me and closes the doors in front of my nose, he waves me and kind of tells me go mom. He never cries.
  • they told me story: they went to dance “Mazurka dance” and he did not have teacher to dance with. So he grabbed close girl, in his age and started to dance with her…..he loves dancing and music especially electronic.
  • he is cooperative, nice to others – except time I am coming for him. He starts to kick and complain. He does not want to go home.  He likes it there to play with another kids
  • I think that he brought from kinder also word “Moje” mine. Because now all the things around him are  ”Mine” which is sometimes problem. He is able to get totally angry if we are not leting him not to do something or taking some toy out of him. He wants to hit me and starts to cry………..yep time of punishment. It is sometimes hard but we wants him to understand that this is not the way. We also started to put him to the room, if he is just crying without any special reason. He usually comes after and asks for Hopy hopy – that is like appology.

He is growing I can feel it, but we are still fighting with potty time. He is not telling me when he wants to go, But if I put him there he do what he is supposed to :) but I would love to get rid of diapers in his case. Also that soon we will need double pack also for the little one.

siblings love building: He likes my belly. If I say “Where is the baby” he used to touch my belly and caress him and sometimes kisses him. it is such a nice feeling. He knows that he can not kick me, but sometimes he does that.

Edie is loved and cared. I hope that we are giving him as much as we can, that is our life and our passion.

And after all playing our HOPY HOPY time ends with nice nap

Keep in touch with our improvements.

I loved one motto which gave me Carlos mom: Kids are borrowed to our life just for short time. We should enjoy every time we are with them, when they needs us and we can help them. We should be there as their guides and advisors. Because very soon they will go away from us and they will live their life. Our role will be not that strong but if we gave them everything now we will get it back later for sure. Time spend with our kids is the most important article we can give them”.Nothing can replace us!

15 weeks – 2nd baby diary

October 30, 2010 · Filed under Baby development, second pregnancy · Tagged , , , , , , , ,

How the things goes, how do I feel, how is the life of second baby?

Those are the questions I am asked the most, so I decided to share with you, with my future little one and make some note also for myself. simply not to forget.

Things around are so different. You would not believe me how many things changed in 2 years and which situations I am facing now.

Conditions I am living with my second “belly baby”:

  1. I am self employed, not anymore student. I am helping in my dad’s company as administrating officer, so called “girl for everything what is needed to be done” and second part of my day belong to www.skupiner.cz our newly starting business. I love this job, especially because of the feeling on building something on my own. I am meeting a lot of companies and I have to say that my belly image is helpful :) Thank you my love!
  2. I am having already Edie, so there is not so much time left for myself, actually there is not time for myself :) With Edie we have lots of fun. He is riding me as a horse, he is jumping on me, he is constantly caressing me, kissing me, licking me. And if I ask him where is his baby sibling, he always caress also belly, kisses him and hugs him. Such a lovely time and such a lovely boy. let’s see in the future.
  3. With Carlos we are both very busy. We try to steal some time for each other, but it is not easy at all. Life of hard working parents, who tries to build business for the future financial freedom means to keep their common time as something sacred and in scarcity. But we know why we are working such hard and restlessly.
  4. I meet my friends also very seldom. Now I am spending time mostly with our business partners, my skupiner partners and my closest family. But it is fine it is how it should be.

How do I feel?

  • In general great, full of energy so that’s why I am able to work many hours per day up to late night and wake up every day with Edie at 6 or 6:30. Simply he always throws some toy over my face, caress my head and kisses me. He tell me “hum hum” and mammy has to wake up :) No time for discussion
  • I felt quite sick previous days, but mainly because I did not have that much time to eat regularly what makes me hungry and sick. But now after 3 month passed I feel much better and fine……….luckily NO womitting  at all, but sometime I was close, to tell you :)
  • I am in 15 weeks now and I start to feel movements of my baby. It is such a cool things to start to feel some interaction. Baby is telling me when it is tired so starts to kick me or when it does not have enough space, while I am sitting behind computer like wrapped package. So these are the moments when I stopped to do everything and just caress y belly to say, I know, sorry I understand you, I love you.

Baby in its beauty in 13 weeks of my pregnancy

  • I realize that with Edie I had much more time to think how the parenthood and motherhood will look like. What I will do with him and what kind of things I will show him. i was going to pregnancy gym and I was doing more sports. I am not lazy now at all, I am walking a lot and running around Edie. But I do not have time to take gym classes and point my mind to my pregnancy. That is the reality. So the calmest time is for me at night, before I go to bed I take shower, I am talking to my belly baby to let him know that we love him and we are waiting him/her of course :)
  • My mind is busy. I know that and it creates the feeling that the belly is living it’s own life and I can strongly believe that it will take such a short time until the due date. It will past fast like hell and I will start to write reports about our second one.

I already surprised all my friends that we are expecting the second baby and I started to receive congratulations. I hope that everything will go fine. In the last check up I had lower limits of lymphocytes and thrombocytes so I am going for next check up son again. But so far we are fine, feeling great, not having thoughts of slowing down in the process of our lives.

“Life is change worth to live and fight for”

And in the end one life joke. One of our very known female actor was meeting during the gala night some politicians. In general, she hates them. So when one of them was making mess with his cigar around and having points this one is from Cuba from Fidel Castro and being so proud of it. She just looked at him and said: do you think it will help you when you will dye? We will all meet anyway up there:)………and for me it was such a great smart answer. He was out of his words. Everybody around was laughing and for me it ment only one thing. There are many people around the world, but few of them are unique. Everybody can be unique. It just depends on us what we want to do with our life time.
