Update 06/16/11

How far along: 14 weeks
Size of baby: Size of a lemon
Maternity Clothes: I haven't bought any new maternity clothes since my last shopping trip.
Gender: Unknown at this point
Movement: Although the baby is moving around in there, I still can't feel a thing.
What I miss: My energy! I am still so very tired.
Cravings: Spaghetti, cheese curls, sweets!
Symptoms: I'm still tired a lot and the headaches are coming more frequently.

July 5th is the next checkup and it seems like it's FOREVER away! I'm a little dissapointed because the next appointment is not for an ultrasound, it's just a regular check up. At the next checkup, I will be just about 17 weeks and I was hoping for an ultrasound so that we could find out the sex of the baby right away. They say I have to wait until August 1st for that!

I can't wait to find out what the little monster is! I'm so hoping it's a little girl but then we have to face the name dilemma. My husband has turned his nose at every girl's name I have come up with so far! My opinion: he gets to name the boy since he wants a JR and I get to name the girl. I like that idea! What do you think?

So, if it's a boy, the name is already chosen (not my choice). But if it's a girl, do I let him have a say? I have a few names that I really love that he just hates! I don't know what to do with him! We shouldn't even really be discussing it until we find out the gender, I guess.

I think I will start posting baby bump photos after my next check up so stay tuned for that! And how cute are these little love bug shoes?! I found them online...makes me want a girl even more!

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
