Update 10/11/11

How far along: 31 weeks, 63 days to go!
Size of baby: Still the size of a squash
Maternity Clothes: So far I love all of the Fall stuff I just got!
Gender: Baby Girl!
Movement: Lots and lots!
What I miss: My energy! My more stable moods!
Cravings: I'm not really craving much of anything.
Symptoms: I'm still very tired all of the time, no headaches, ankles swell occasionally, heartburn and backaches are the worst!

I still don't have too much to report. I can't wait to go back to the doctor on Monday for my next ultrasound. I can't wait to see how big my little monster is! Maybe they will push my due date up again. I'm really hoping for early December rather than mid-December.

I'm still feeling pretty good, aside from being tired. I think that the cooler temperatures are really helping my mood! My husband is happy for the change. He is actually looking forward to spending these last two months with me!

Little Miss is still kicking all of the time. She kicks a lot when she is hungry. I can always feel her the most when I'm laying on my back. The worst is when she kicks my bladder and I feel like I'm going to pee in my pants!

Last night was actually the first night that I woke up in the middle of the night to a baby moving. She usually sleeps through the night but she didn't want to last night. My husband is getting sick so we went the store and asked the Pharmacist what I could take in case I got sick too. So I took some before bed last night and I don't think Little Miss liked it. I didn't get any sleep last night!

I'm still nervous about our house. My husband got the living room done so now that has become our bedroom. He is making progress in the bedroom but there is still so much work to be done. The good news is that we got a ton of furniture over the weekend so we can fill the rooms back up! The bad news is that it's all in our garage so it's a little difficult to move around down there!

My second dress fitting went even better than the first. The dress fit perfectly! I can't wait for Saturday. It's going to be a very long day but it's going to be well worth it. I'm so happy for the bride and groom!

Invitations for my husband's 30th went out last week. I have a few people who have RSVP'd but not too many. I need people to RSVP!! There is catering involved here! It will be a blast regardless. I'm trying to schedule some other surprises for him for the day as well. I just want him to have a fun day.

Next update will be next after my ultrasound on Monday, October 17th. After that, I will probably only post ever other week since I have to go the doctor every other week. It's getting so close!!

Here is a new baby bump photo for you:



It's not a great picture but what do you expect from a self-portrait? If you look, you will see my little puggers at my feet again!


I also want to make a quick shout out to "An Ordinary Mom". Check out her blog here. She is going through a very difficult time right now with her oldest son who had a brain tumor removed recently. Please send your love to her and her family.

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 ...

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...

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 ...
