My alarming facial

A dimly lit room, relaxing music, a heated temperpedic bed, a therapeutic facial...ahhh, nothing can ruin this moment.

ATTENTION (bright,whit light flashing) AN EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED FOR THIS BUILDING. PLEASE EXIT IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS.

This is what I heard/saw 3/4 of the way through what was supposed to be my relaxing 80 min facial. She tried to just keep working, but told me "it" has never gone on this long before (umm, before?). She checks the other rooms them comes back to tell me
" Everyone has left. Here is your robe follow me down the stairwell. Don't worry, there will be other people in their robes too." (oh, that makes me feel better. Thanks)
Luckily, after just one flight of stairs the alarm goes off and it was safe to go back. Only a false alarm. I have safely managed to avoid a ton of people seeing me in this state. Instead only 4 have managed to be scarred.
Thanks Ritz Carlton for the heart rate check during my spa visit and for helping overcome my fear of having people see me in nothing but my robe and a comatose face.

Pregnancy Tag

Lately I have not been keeping up with this blog like I should. I know what you are thinking, it's not like I am really updating all that often anyway. I finally decided to open an account on facebook a few months ago, and I was hooked immediately. Err, let's rephrase that....I was addicted immediately. I honestly think I need help. Are there classes or groups for this kind of thing? Anyhow, it has caused me to neglect my one blog reader. Let's all give a big thanks to Emily for tagging me and bringing me back , for today at least.
This tag is about my first pregnancy. I hope I can remember it all. Ok, here we go:

Were you married at the time? YES! We had been married for 2 years
What were your reactions when you found out you were pregnant? I was thrilled and then I cried like a crazy lady.
How old were you? 26.
How did you find out? peed on a stick.
Who did you tell first? Kyle, then our parents like a couple days later. I found this news VERY hard to keep quiet!
Did you want to find out the sex? HELLO??!!...YES! OF COURSE. I don't understand how people can wait. My feeling is it is a surprise either way, you just find it out sooner than the delivery day. Having the baby and seeing what they look like is enough of a surprise for me.
Due date? Dec. 23rd.
Did you deliver late or on time? 3 days early...I love me some induction, people!
Did you have morning sickness? Big time YES! It was more like "all day" sickness. I am just thankful it didn't last the whole time.
What did you crave? Pancakes and Wavy (yes, it had to be the Wavy) Lays with french onion dip. Not the two together though.
11. Who/what irritated you the most? I'll just say I'm, in general, not a happy preggo so EVERYTHING
12. What was your first child's sex? a boy
13. How many pounds did you gain throughout pregnancy? I can't believe I am actually going to publish this, but 28.
Did you have any complications during pregnancy? My epidural didn't fully take and Ethan's heart rate got really low to a scary point. They had me start pushing early to avoid possible c-section.
Where did you give birth? Women's Lakeside of Edmond, which no longer exists.
How many hours were you in labor? about 9 hours
17. Who drove you to the hospital? Kyle
18. Who watched? Kyle, the nurses, and of course the Dr.
19. Was it natural or c-section? natural
20. Did you take medication to ease the pain? Heck yes! I was like...I will prepay to make sure that stuff is ready and available!
21. How much did your child weigh? 7lbs 2oz.
22. Did your child have any complications? Thankfully, no.
23. What did you name him? Ethan Kyle.
How old are they today? 4 years

That was fun for me to reminisce. Hopefully I didn't bore you too much, oh my one faithful reader.

Reese's Style

Reese came out of her room in this ensemble today. I thought it was a perfect reflection of her personality: The tiara for the princess, the shades for her swagger, her lei for her wacky personality, and of course the Batman belt for,well... completing the outfit, because a superhero belt completes any outfit, right?
