One Last Christmas Stop

We decided to go to Longwood Gardens this for the Christmas lights that they have every year.  Check out their website for more information.  The place is huge and it's beautiful and while were weren't really impressed with the Christmas lights, we do plan to go back over the summer to see all of the gardens they have.

Of course it was dark out so the pictures aren't the best but here are they are...

 
The first thing we came across...they were stakes in the ground with lights on top so it looked like a field of lights and they changed color.ļ»æ

 
We enjoyed all of the red trees 
 





 


These were giant snowflakes hanging in the trees 
 
They had these trees out on the water 
 
They had this huge tree house.  Baby Girl wasn't impressed 
 
This was the entrance to one of the buildings.  Loved the stars hanging.

 
And then they had table set up for what looked like 100 people!
 
We tried to get a few good photos of us but... 

 
Baby Girl did very well despite how cold it was.  She had a mini meltdown about half way through because she was hungry but Mommy was prepared.  Then we think she started getting cold at the end because she was starting to have another melt down before we decided to leave.  She looked around and took everything in but I don't really think she was all that into it.  Maybe next year.

    Gorgeous lights..
    by the way, I figured out the problem. You are under no reply blogger again. Not sure if that was intentional. Maybe that is why you don't hear back from anyone.

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

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 ...

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 ...
