Five Question Friday

Linking up for the first time with My Little Life for Five Question Friday.


1.  Is love at first site possible?
Yes!  And in all forms!!! 

Form 1:  My husband and I were 12 and 13 when we first layed eyes on each other.  We were so young but I knew that he was going to be my husband some day!

Form 2:  I found a picture of my dear little pugger Katie online and I was in love!  I had to have her!  She has been the best little dog I could have ever hoped for!

Form 3:  Come on ladies......you can't tell me that you didn't fall in love with your baby the second you saw that little crazy skeleton photo!  And even if you didn't, you definitely fell in love as soon as they were born.

2.  How did you choose your pet's name?
Our first pet, a cat named Joey, was given to us so he was already named.  The girl who gave him to us was obsessed with Friends so she named him Joey after the character.  Our second pet, a cat named Kitty, was named Kitty because we just weren't original enough to come up with anything else!

Our first dog, a Pug named Katie, was also already named when we got her.  She was already 7 months old too so we didn't change the name.  I wanted to change it to Bella because I love that name and, honestly, I wanted to name my first daughter Kaydee.  My husband wouldn't budge. 

Our second dog, a Pug named Utley, is named after Chase Utley.  My husband is a HUGE Phillies fan.  He wanted to name the dog Buddy.  So unoriginal.  I suggested Utley.  It stuck.

Our third dog (yes we have a zoo), a Black Lab named Camo, was supposed to be a hunting dog so he got a hunting name.  No, he is not really a hunting dog and I think my husband has abandoned the idea because 1. he doesn't have time to train him 2. the dog thinks he is a lap dog 3. the dog is literally the biggest baby I have ever seen.

3.  What are you considering giving up?
Soda.  I'm actually in the process of it right now.  During my pregnancy, I didn't really drink any soda.  Well, at first I drank a lot of root beer.  But then I just stopped drinking it.  My husband and I both said we didn't really want to drink it at all, even after the baby was born. 

Of course you say that.  I don't drink a ton of soda anymore but it's still more than I should.  So, I stopped drinking it at work and I limit myself to one at home.  The only exception to this rule is when I am adding a little Captain to the soda :)

4.  How much do you pay your babysitter?
We are still in that nice stage when our friends want to babysit because our daughter is just awesome.  I'm sure that when she gets older, we will have to start actually paying someone but for now, it's FREE!

5.  How 'young' is old enough to babysit?
If it's an older sibling I would probably say 12 is my cut off.  I'm not sure I'd be comfortable leaving my kids alone with even a sibling younger than that.  I definitely wouldn't be OK with leaving my kids with anyone else who is younger than 15 or 16.  I think I was 15 when I started babysitting.

    Yes soda seems to be the hardest to give up. I can't give up my tea.

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 ...
