Life

As I sit to type this my husband asks, "How far are you behind?" Almost like the blog is an assignment - I answer with, "so far behind" At this point he is really the only one reading it so does it really matter if I update it every other day? But then I think this was a task I gave myself and I wanted to update it at least every other day. I mean there are a few other blogs I read and I kinda get depressed when they haven't updated in a few days so why do I expect them to do it if I can't even get my act together to write a post! So lets see if I can do better! Here's a run down of where we are in the Land of the Rudolphs:

Aiden will be starting preschool on May 1!  He has been going to "school" a few hours for the last 2 weeks but he will go 3 days a week starting May 1. He seems to really like the school/daycare and we love the price and pay system. His birthday is right around the corner, I just can't believe he will be 3. What happened to my baby??

Felicity continues to grow and make herself known. We ordered her bed and dresser/changing table and they should be here by the end of the week!! Aiden comments weekly that my belly is getting bigger! Here is the my "bump" picture from 25 weeks: 

Aiden said we were taking bum pictures! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesse has just been Jesse. There isn't too much going on in his work right now so it's a nice down time for him. He has been doing his fair share of household duties since I prefer to stay away from the chemicals.

Me, well I am definitely feeling pregnant these days. If I eat too much I really just can't even function. Graduation is next week so I am swamped at work. It literally looks like the copier threw-up on my desk. My next doctors appointment is April 30 and it is the oh so lovely glucose test...yum! It's also time to register at the hospital - how did we get to this point already?  I don't feel ready for her at all. But that is what the month of May is for, June is to recover and prepare for maternity leave and July is to sit in the pool!!

Be ready for tomorrow's post!! (Hopefully) I leave you with our lovely Easter picture.

Disney & Haircuts

     I know you would think that Walt Disney World and haircuts have nothing in common but at my house if you ask Aiden where he gets his haircut he responds with, "Disney." You may think this is cute and wonder were he got it from. Well we are a little spoiled to be honest - my great friend Jill works for Disney and we go every few months (you know to help Jill use her passes :) ) So how does that relate to Aiden's hair...well when he was almost 2 we took him to Disney for the 1st time and had his 1st haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop in Magic Kingdom. They did such a great job and he sat in the chair and let them cut his hair like a pro. 
    You should know my son was blessed with these beautiful ringlet curls that just melt your heart. But if they get too long then he looks like a big fuzz ball! So after trying a "kid-friendly" salon near us and having a horrible experience (come on he's 2 of course he is going to move!) we got with Jill for a trip back to Disney for another hair cut and that has become our regular salon for Aiden. 
  So when Aiden says he gets his hair cut at Disney he isn't being funny or cute (he is both of these on a regular basis!) He is just telling you the truth. If you are heading to Walt Disney World and you child in need of a haircut or you are ready for the 1st haircut I highly recommend the Harmony Barber Shop in Magic Kingdom. You can even make a reservation! 
     I say all of that to say Aiden got a MUCH needed haircut on Saturday! Here are his before and after pictures - Enjoy! 

Before - catching a nap on the way there!

After - My Big Boy
