Lisa, that's a good idea about the sucker...The barber gave Rowan his first one after it was all over and we had to show him how to lick it! It didn't hold his attention for very long (but then, he was so excited to get out of the chair). I'll try that next time. I wonder how fast his hair will grow? It took 2.25 years to get long enough to cut! Maris, how much *was* the haircut? The barber here was $17...I don't even pay that much for my haircut!

that's why it's good to have girls! my daughter never had her hair cut until she was almost 6, and that was because she had done it herself, and i had to take her to get it fixed!

I guess it's easier because I let Dylan wear it long so when I cut it it's just little trims on the ends and sides. It's kind of surferish!

Dylan has nice hair to wear long-- It's thick and straight, it's so cute. Since Rowan's hair grew longer on the sides than on top, with the baby curls, DH said his hair was starting to look like "Woody Allen hair"! Hopefully getting it all cut off will let it grow out differently.

Enbwife were you supposed to have an ultrasound this week? If so...how did it go? Are you finding out the sex? Details!!!! I am going for a second one next week at 29 weeks. Do they let you look at the monitor this late in the pregnancy? We decided to not find out the sex so I wonder if they will let me look for fear that I may "see" something.

Spitfire - I had 7 ultrasounds with my Dd (bunch of problems) And 13 with my DS (even more problems) I knew what i was having and STILL couldn't figure out from the monitor. LOL

Cool. I hope they let me watch. I have heard that some of the technicians at the clinic are kinda moody and say it's just a job and they can't understand why people get so worked up about wanting to see.

yes with Dylan I had a level II ultrasound and the lady did all of her stuff first and then at the very ends she was like "-oh you want to see" I was like "no no biggie it's only the first time I am pregnant and I am dying to know the sex of my baby but no really take your time!!!!!!!!!!"

Spitfire, do you want to see the baby, but not the sex? Kaykay, I also had to have the sex painfully pointed out to me-- The monitor was mounted near the ceiling, I forgot my glasses, DH had to walk over to the monitor and trace out what was going on! Of course, he saw "it" right away

Kimmo I really do want to see the baby. I am also of the "can't figure it out" club. After the first one and looking at it the whole time it go a little easier but I have a hard time figuring it out to. We said we wanted to be surprised but if I were to see by accident I would not be dissapointed. I don't have a choice what it is right so it would just help me prepare. That being said....I will not ask what it is. Everyone thinks I'm having a girl right now. All of my friends have boys and on dh's side my bil and sil have two boys so everyone is pulling for girl. My mom is going to be first time Grandma and she is pulling for girl to. Either way I really don't care but I'm pulling for girl to. I always wanted a boy first but now I think I just want to mix it up.

Kimmo - Nate's haircut cost $10.00 Canadian and the 2 haircuts were about 4 months apart. Spitfire - yes, I had my first Dr. appt. on Monday and heard the heartbeat... what a wonderful sound that is, and so reassuring. Then on Tuesday Neil and I went for the first ultrasound and had quite a show. We both couldn't believe how clear it was and how we could easily tell the head from the bum - something we both had problems with the first time. I got photos and feel pregnant now. I've only gained 2 1bs which makes me very happy since I was at 12 1bs with Nate at this point (13 weeks). Big thing in my city right now is Fifth Disease going around all the schools... It's a common childhood illness (rash) that is mild, but for pregnant women could cause serious problems to the fetus. My friend's 9 yr old has it and I was with her 2 weeks ago. So I had to go in for a bloodtest yesterday to see if I'm immune. The chances of me catching it, then the baby catching it are pretty low but if that happens it's not good. The research I've done says 5% of pregnant women will have serious complications so I just have to think positively. I get the results in a week. I'm off on a business trip on Sunday until Friday so I'm going to miss Nate/Neil sooooo much! That's the longest I've been away from him and he's so into me right now. Everything is "mama, mama" from the start of the day until the end. I was in Washington DC for 2 days and he clung to me for hours when I returned. Oh well, I have to think that it's really good for Neil & Nate to spend some time alone together without me hovering around. They really do get along well and it will be good for their relationship. By the way, I really want to know the sex of this baby this time. We didn't find out with Nate and that was wonderful but this one I really want to know!! Too early to tell right now... 6 more weeks.

Well...I just found out that I am also pregnant! About a month along. I will definitely want to find out the sex. I hope it's a girl! Though a boy would be great as well. I wonder how Rowan will handle it-- He's still a little weirded out at times at the attention his new cousin gets. But by the time this baby comes, he'll be 3. I hate this part-- When I was PG with Rowan, the first 2-3 months were a constant state of dread ("Am I really pregnant")-- It wasn't until I heard his heartbeat that I really relaxed. Until then, I felt like a potential fraud.

Yea Kimmo and family!! I know what you mean about hearing the heartbeat. My hubby and I kept saying to each other..."are you sure?" At my first appointment when the doctor found the heartbeat she looked at me and said "there you go, it's official." She told me most people don't believe it until the doctor tells them it's real.

Congratulations Kimmo! Don't worry about Rowan, you still have plenty of time to prepare him! Did you know what the sex was when you were pregnant with Rowan? I'm just asking because I didn't find out with my first one and decided to with my second. Immediately after I found out I wished I hadn't. It took some of the excitement away for me, I remembered the anticipation during my pregnancy and labor with my son. And the thrill of exclaiming "What is it?" when he was born. Just something to think about. Make sure it is something you really want to do, there is no going back after you find out!
