Happy 4th of July!


I will most likely not be blogging again until Tuesday so I thought I'd get this in now. What kinds of plans do you have for this holiday weekend?

Tonight will probably be our usual dinner at Applebees where we sit at the bar and converse with our favorite bar tender. We only sit at the bar out of habit and because she is pretty much the only person we like. Don't worry, it's just water for me. My husband, however, will have as many Long Island Ice Teas as I will allow him.

I will sleep in Saturday, as long as the dogs don't wake me up and then spend the day doing laundry and cleaning. Saturday night will be spent with friends, in or out of their pool, depending on the weather. We may even enjoy a bon fire.

Sunday is church and then dinner with some other friends.

Monday is my husband's annual family picnic. It's going to be HOT so the baby and I are not looking forward to spending the day outside in the heat, especially with elephant man ankles!

It's going to be a busy weekend and I am going to hate dragging myself back to work on Tuesday but guess what Tuesday is??!!! Our next check up! We will get to hear our baby's heartbeat again so I'm very excited for that! I will post an update after the appointment. And you know what else?! One month from today we will find out if this is a little boy monster or a little girl monster! I am SO excited!! I'm still trying to figure out the gender party :(

Enough about me....I hope that you all have a great holiday weekend. Remember to think about all of our servicemen and women as you celebrate our Independence Day!

I'd like to take this time to thank Drew Yetter for his service. I graduted from High School with Drew. We re-connected via Facebook, where I found he was fighting for our Country. He was recently wounded while in Afghanistan but he is ok and back to 'work'. Stay safe Drew and thank you for your service! That's my shout out. Who are you going to shout out to?

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 ...
