I was up and about right after delivery with no issues.<br /><br />Was it an easy labor?<br />- haha I dont really know how to answer that. I wouldn't say it was easy, but it was definitely worth it.<br /><br />How long did it take to deliver him?<br />- the actual delivery took maybe 20 minutes, but my contractions started at 8:45pm and he was born at 10:26am the next morning, lol it was seriously like a lifetime.<br /><br />Did you do a c-section?<br />- haha hell no. i cant do a major surgery like that. the idea of a c-section scares me.Ketmanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05321253429572341429noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019552333190862444.post-13815995629837090752010-02-21T08:31:00.000-08:002010-02-21T08:39:41.578-08:00HOLA ;]<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/BABY/Jachins%20Birth/DSC00428.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 388px; height: 290px;" src="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/BABY/Jachins%20Birth/DSC00428.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> JACHIN RYAN SOURIVONG-RODRIGUEZ<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">BORN FEBRUARY 18, 2010 at 10:26 AM<br />5 lbs 14 oz<br />19 3/4 inches<br /><br /></div>Ketmanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05321253429572341429noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019552333190862444.post-32282496770393884592010-01-23T20:24:00.000-08:002010-01-23T20:26:44.739-08:00I NEED A CHANGEi wanna change my blog layout & design, but dont want to invest the time in searching through endless layouts and templates. anyone know a good site?

i will do an updated review after the semester ends to let yall know how my first textbook renting experience goes... wish me luck :)<br /><br />also, good luck to all of the lovely ladies gettin their education on this semester!Ketmanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05321253429572341429noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019552333190862444.post-55388181752173556552009-12-31T20:14:00.000-08:002009-12-31T20:16:10.868-08:00NEW YEARS RESOLUTION 20102009 wasnt the best year for me, it really had its ups and its downs. but my only new years resolution for 2009 was to be cancer free and thank goodness that worked out for me :) i also wanted to be debt free, but... i sort of fell extremely short of that achievement. lol i suck, ugh!<br /><br />every year my new years resolutions are generally the same. lol i dont expect much, but then again i never really stick to them either. haha i suck at new years resolutions to be honest. 2010 <span style="font-weight: bold;">WILL</span> be a different kind of year for me! i put this on everything, if 2011 rolls around and i havent completed my resolutions, then i will slap myself in the face. REALLY hard, haha. this upcoming year i am determined to accomplish the resolutions that i set. *thumbs up!*<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">My 2010 New Years Resolution:</span><br /></div><br />1. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Be Debt Free by 2011!</span> - i need to get serious about this, debt is like the plague it spreads and infects everyone. especially with a baby on the way, i dont want to bring my son into the world knowing that i will have to pay bills before i can buy him something nice. i refuse to not be the best mother to my son, financially speaking, cause i know im gonna be a great mom!<br /><br />2. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Get back on track with school!</span> - haha i am the biggest slacker when it comes to school. take a semester off here, drop a class there.. i mean i have my goals and i am determined to finish school but there was never a deadline for me. i have always let other things get in the way and school was always the first thing to be put on the back burners for me if anything ever came up in life, so 2010 will be the year that i go full time, for every semester! except spring 2010 semester cause im giving birth. haha see im already doing it.. semi-failure! haha but Summer 2010 i will be all over this resolution!<br /><br />3. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Get my body back!</span> - pregnancy hasnt changed much, and while i am still pregnant i really dread what my body will look like after the baby. so im determined to get fit and be healthy in 2010. that means a better diet, hitting the gym and drinking more water! haha these are all really simple things to do, but honestly.. im the laziest person alive. i work out maybe like once a year, haha so yeah.. thats definitely gotta change. the healthier i try to be today, the healthier i will be tomorrow!<br /><br />the best way to keep myself on track is to document my resolutions every step of the way. this way i can determine if im really on track, haha or if im simply full of shit :D so expect lotsa post & help me stay on track!<br /><br />so whats your new years resolution and how do you plan to achieve it? help a homie out, advice is always welcomed!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;">goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!<br /></span></div>Ketmanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05321253429572341429noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019552333190862444.post-68463779203718113462009-12-24T23:23:00.000-08:002009-12-24T23:24:02.379-08:00& THIS IS NOW...i dont really do much for christmas, so the most exciting thing for christmas eve was getting off work early... and having christmas day off. lol, yes my life is that exciting. i have already opened my presents, cause im a brat.. so nothing left to do but sleep in and eat ice cream. yay! also to enjoy a soda! my boyfriend has been limiting my love for caffine & carbonation since i have been pregnant, its been pure misery. lol<br /><br />anyways.. everyone knows that pregnancy changes your body. at the end of the day its a really beautiful experience. haha but on a day to day basis; the weight gain, breaking out, mood swings and morning sickness is really a pain in the ass. not to mention the back pain, swelling and pure misery you experience daily is really just crap. undesirable crap! haha i know many women who tell me they loved being pregnant, they loved the baby bump and feeling the baby kick. as for myself, while i love the fact that i am pregnant, i would rather fast forward through the actuality of being pregnant. haha im horrible, i know. but, its really hard work. the experience is different for everyone, i know, but dude... i feel like i have a 20 lbs watermelon strapped to my tummy!<br /><br />i thought i should document the change that has occurred in myself through out this pregnancy, to give you ladies a better idea of what to expect when you're pregnant.... lol<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">this was me <span style="font-weight: bold;">pre-pregnancy</span>:<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/stuff/002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Tmobile is driving me insane. i love my sidekick, i really really do, but i am at the point where i wanna just cancel my account and go back to AT&T.<br /><br />heres my issue with them:<br /><br />1. my 2008 sidekick has FORVER had bad reception. my boyfriend bought us the 2008 sidekicks last october and his worked perfectly, but mine would lose reception constantly.. like even when we were right next to each other! its ridiculous.<br /><br />2. the sidekick data base is GONE! yes, that means all of my contacts, notes, everything in my phone basically is gone, gone, gone. they sent out alerts letting everyone know you shouldn't turn your phone off or else you'll lose all the data you have saved in your phone cause their data base crashed.. well, all my shit is gone. sucks for me :(<br /><br />3. my boyfriend upgraded to the new sidekick lx 2009 in May of this year and its Ocotober and we are already on our 2nd warranty exchange. isnt that lovely?<br /><br />i mean that is already bad enough, but they just continue to annoy me. like, we put insurance on my boyfriends line, but they mistakenly put it on my line instead.. and i had to spend 45 minutes on hold with someone to fix it. or we almost didnt get our first warranty exchange cause every CSR that we talked to told us something different and it took like 2 weeks for us to get a phone that shouldve been delivered in 3 business days. omg, its just frustrating. i really love their customer service, every time i talk to someone on the phone they're really pleasant to talk to and super nice, but i hate the fucken company. im just so agitated right now.<br /><br />i love my sidekick, but i think im about ready to part with it... i just need to find a way out of my contract. i refuse to pay a early termination fee! lol<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">goodbye tmobile, hello at&t!<br /></div>Ketmanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05321253429572341429noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019552333190862444.post-63995629101037734782009-10-11T01:20:00.000-07:002009-10-11T02:50:42.948-07:00BOYFRIENDS BIRTHDAY!

i couldnt slip it down or up over my head. my boyfriend kept telling me he would have to cut me out of it.. i almost died... until i realized that he didnt pull the zipper down all the way. thats why i couldnt get out of the dress.. haha it was seriously a heart breaking moment for me!<br /><br />i know im not fat, and im not trying to fish for any compliments or shit like that, but with anyone and any time their body is making such dramatic changes in such a small frame of time theres just a lot of getting use to needed. its really hard to wake up and notice yourself a little bigger each day, or that your clothes dont fit anymore. especially with my hormones raging, its a roller coaster ride. lol but i do love looking down and seeing my baby bump. it always makes my heart melt to think that in 4 more months my lil man will be here and he's going to be amazing!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/Babys%20birthday/babys%20birthday%202009/030.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 442px; height: 332px;" src="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/Babys%20birthday/babys%20birthday%202009/030.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">lol this is what i see everyday when i look down, my bump & i love it<br /></div></div><br />but, anyways!

i can never eat too much steak at dinner and this was a perfect portion size for me. the veggies and the onion strings were good, but like seriously.. if a restaurant fucked that up.. then i would have to kill the chef myself. haha totally loved it!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- center cut new york strip $39.00 </span><span>(boyfriends dinner)</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/Babys%20birthday/babys%20birthday%202009/026.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 417px; height: 312px;" src="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/Babys%20birthday/babys%20birthday%202009/026.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />12oz new york strip served with au ju, mashed red potatoes and battered deep fried onion strings. this steak was seriously HUGE. like i think an 8 oz steak is already too much, but 12 oz .. it just looks like a beast to me. lol but the boyfriend really enjoyed his meal :)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">- strawberry lemonade $4.00</span> (bottom less)<br />we each got one, and they were really good. some places just cant do a strawberry lemonade justice. haha but i was looking at the drinks menu and was totally wishing i could get a pomegranate cosmo, or a freaking mojito! ahhhhhhh sometimes pregnancy makes me so sad. haha<br /><br />also, their water was really good. haha i am completely anal when it comes to drinking water at a restaurant, most of the time the water just tastes like shit. i rarely ever drink water in any public place, haha im like scared shitless of public water fountains. my boyfriend swears that all water tastes the same, and i know for a fucken fact that they dont!

the service there is sensational. our server seriously on his game. he refilled our water every time they reached half full. the food came out fast and it was prepared perfectly. the only down side is that like any downtown restaurant in anchorage its always busy on the weekends, so keep that in mind. even with a reservation expect to wait around 15 - 20 minutes for your table, but they do validate parking *thumbs up*.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/Babys%20birthday/babys%20birthday%202009/032.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 251px; height: 335px;" src="http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp89/jnk010/Babys%20birthday/babys%20birthday%202009/032.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">i was definitely a happy camper tonight<br /></div><br />also, best part about eating here is that you can buy gift cards for it at the Costco's in anchorage (thats what we did, haha we're on a budget!) but we got two $50.00 gift cards for $79.99 at Costco, yay for discounts!

but i will make sure to get some next time, im trying to find another victim to let me dye their hair. its seriously addicting!<br /><br />the entire dye kit was super inexpensive too. the dye itself was around $3.00, the developer was around $4.00, and we bought a little bottle to make the application easier for like $1.89.t otal for getting her hair did $8.89. i know some box dyes could have been cheaper, but i wanted to experiment!

not to mention they stuck me in a room where it was hella cold, and apparently they were training someone.. cause my doctor had this other chick do the ultra sound.. and he kept giving her pointers and shit. haha it was the worse ultrasound EVER. baby decided to be all stubborn and not show itself to us. poor thing must've been cold, it was all curled up into a ball.. lol we didnt get to see a damned thing, only the top of its head.<br /><br />my doctors are still confused about when my due date will actually be. based off of my last menstrual period the due date should be February 14, 2010 (valentines day, supppppper cute!). i got an ultra sound when i was 8weeks pregnant and they estimated it at February 24, 2010. but, at todays ultra sound they estimated it at February 20th or 21st 2010. lol, i really love how completely unsure they are of everything. im really considering switching to another doctor.... but, either way this baby is coming in february :)<br /><br />GOOD NEWS: WE'RE SCHEDULED TO FIND OUT THE SEX ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2009!<br /><br />so im sure you are all wondering how my vacation went!?<br /><br />well i was extremely morning sick the entire time, so i cant say it was super duper great, but i did have a good time. it was a lot more chill than i had anticipated, but seriously... i wouldnt have had it any other way. it involved a lot of eating, lol and HELLA driving. i didnt get as many pictures as i would have liked. i definitely didnt buy as much as i would have liked, but overall it was GOOD :) here are some pictures, enjoy loves!<br /><br />disneyland. this is where i experienced my first sun burn (EVER!) and it was horrible :( and cause i was pregnant i couldnt ride on any of the rides... which sucked, but i dont really like rides anyways.. theyre scarey!

haha<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. im super emotional</span><br />i cry a lot, and this pregnancy has made it worse! but really though, im not a cry baby... but there are certain people who know exactly how to push my buttons and the tears just start flowing. lol<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. i dont trust people, period.</span><br />i dont have trust issues, but you have to really build a relationship for me to trust you. this applies for everyone. im really cautious of who i let into my inner circle, or who i even associate with. im a fairly private person. i like to keep my business to me, and i like people who keep their business to themselves. i've been burned plenty of times, so i know who and what to look out for.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. im all about me.</span><br />in all seriousness, at the end of the day no one will love me more, or love me better than i love myself. im a very self-less person and my family definitely comes first, but when it comes to a boyfriend or even to friends, i know whos the most important. like dont get me wrong, i have friends that i would give my life for, but i know better than to start giving my heart out without thinking about it first. at the end of the day when i have no one else, i still have my fucking dignity, and i would never give that up for anyone.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. im HELLA mean</span><br />hahaha i really am though, like everyones first impressions of me are "you look like a bitch" or "you seem hella stuck up" and in reality.. im not really different from those first impressions. hahaha like i am a nice person, and i am very friendly, but im not the sugar coating type. it is, what it is with me. we're all adults here, and im not going to treat you like a child. i dont even treat children like all sugar coated and delicate.... cause the world just isnt like that. i have a cruel sense of humor and i lack the ability to not hurt peoples feelings.. haha<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. i love & i love hard</span><br />once i give my heart out, and whether its to a boyfriend or a friend, they're gonna have it forever... or atleast until they do me HELLLLLLLLLLA dirty. but im extremely forgiving, especially to those who are really near and dear to my heart. i would give up the world and all of my possessions to help someone i loved out.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7. im a mother fucking princess, and NO ONE can tell me other wise!</span><br />haha its sooo true. im a brat and i like to get my way. if i cant get my way, then well.. no one will! lol this only applies to my family. i've been very fortunate to have really loving parents, and they love me in all the wrong ways. hahah they've turned me into this needy and demanding terror, & they loooooooove me :)<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">update:</span></span><br />i do plan on doing some FOTDS, or something soon.. im recovering from break outs. this pregnancy caused my face to develop the most disgusting pimples.. ommmmmmmg i wanted to kill myself, but its finally clearing up.<br />for the past month i actually havent been wearing any makeup.. i dont think i have ever gone this long without it, haha its really sad. but my face is looking much better now.. so i will definitely catch up on my posting. <3!Ketmanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05321253429572341429noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019552333190862444.post-75968644234978086322009-09-23T13:30:00.000-07:002009-09-23T14:28:16.208-07:00BACK FROM THE DEAD!<span style="font-size:85%;">hola lovers! i am so sorry that i have left my blog so neglected for so long. im really ashamed! but a lot has happened in the past couple of months, i know i need to fill yall in. so lets get started....</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcHJlZ25hbmN5LmJhYnktZ2FnYS5jb20v"><img src="http://tickers.baby-gaga.com/p/dev054pss__.png" alt="pregnancy calendar" /></a><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;">yes, im pregnant!</span></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;">im sure many of you dont know this, but when i started my blog originally at the beginning of the year it wasnt anything makeup or beauty related. it was a blog dedicated to my pregnancy (at the time). i guess it wasn't meant to be, and i ended up having a miscarriage a couple months later and this blog really just let me vent, but also served as a heart breaking reminder of what i had just lost. i was going to delete it and be rid of it all together. the emotions associated with my miscarriage were really too much to bear for me, and some how blogging about anything other than a baby, or the lack of, was really helpful. so i kept the blog around and continued to blog... which im very happy i did.<br /><br />so the main reason for disappearing was because this pregnancy has been really up & down for me. first of all the morning sickness was KILLING me, seriously 2 months of it! OMG!! and i was morning sick during my vacation, thats why i didnt blog at all during that period either. im finally getting my energy back and being motivated to blog again :)<br /><br />so heres the update:<br /></span><ol><li><span style="font-size:85%;">i am currently 18 weeks pregnant (right around 4 1/2 months)</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">no, i dont know if im having a boy or a girl yet. i find out soon though!<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;">i will be blogging lots about this baby.. so be prepared to be bombarded by baby posts!<br /></span></li></ol><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />but i have been keeping up with everyones blogs. i've been secretly lurking. sorry to everyone who has been asking me why i havent blog and my lack of communication has been just plain rude!! please forgive me and lets rekindle our blog-love :)<br /></span></div></div>Ketmanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05321253429572341429noreply@blogger.com8
