Mah Birfday

As I said before, I have declared my birthday to be a National Holiday and I always take off of work for it.  But, since Baby Girl was sick two weeks ago and I had to take off of work for that, I decided to work a half day for my birthday.  It sucked.  But it's all good. 

My husband gave me a Willow Tree figurine to add to our already large collection.  I LOVE Willow Tree figurines!  See our collection below:







 The newest figurine

 Then, my husband took me to the Philadelphia Premium Outlets to get the Coach purse I have had my eye on.  Um...I sortof kindof seriously love it!

My best friend gave me the wrist let.

When we got to the outlet, we realized that they didn't have the purse that matched the wrist let.  I guess the pink is still too new.  They did have the same exact purse in a lighter pink.  So that's the one I got.  This is a $600 set!  We paid $170.  I love Coach!

After stopping at The Childrens Place to get some new dresses for Ashlyn, we headed to my Mom's house to see her.  She had picked Ashlyn up from daycare for us so we could go shopping.  After visiting with Baby Girl for a while, my husband took me to Viva for dinner.  They have THE BEST Herb Encrusted Chicken I have ever eaten in my entire life!  And their bread is ridiculous.

Aside from LOVING their food, we also went there because, well, I had a birthday coupon and we are cheap (LOL) and because they give you a free Colossal drink for your birthday.  This drink is like $20.00!!!!  And you get it free for your birthday!

Our cheapness LOL

This was the drink my husband got on his birthday in November.  My glass of milk is to the bottom left.  I was 8 months preggo at the time.

And here is my Colossal drink!  It was good but way too sugary and I woke up with a massive headache the next day. 

Now we didn't stay out late or get bombed or anything like that.  We had a baby at home to think about.  But we are grateful that some of our friends joined us for some drinks and some laughs.  Auntie Marty and Uncle Craig (who I have mentioned countless times on my blog) have become part of our family and we love spending time with them.

The rest of the weekend was a bit of a blur because it was spending preparing for Ashlyn's Dedication, which I'll post another blog about.  I know that the weekend ended Sunday with an ice cream cake from Friendly's!  :)

Here's hoping that my next birthday (the big 30) will be spent with a second child, inside or outside the womb, I'm not picky!

Happy Birthday to ME!

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 ...
