  • I don't think I'm going to post baby updates every week or every other week like I did last time.  I think I'm just going to post updates when I have doctor's appointments or when something cool happens.  I'm not trying to 'rob' the second child of his or her time to shine, I just don't want to bore people with the same information every week.
  • That being said, I am 10 weeks along and my next doctor's appointment is next Monday.  Yay!  We didn't hear the heartbeat at the first appointment because I was only 7 weeks so we will get to hear it this time.  I'm not sure when my first ultrasound will be but I'm hoping it's soon! 
  • This pregnancy has been much different from Baby Girl's.  I have been much more nauseous this time around so I have been eating less.  I have lost a few pounds rather than gained five already like I did last time.  Last week I was able to eat more but then Friday was a bad day again.
  • Even though I have lost weight, my belly has 'popped' and I feel like I'm four months pregnant!  I think I'll post my first baby bump photo next week after my doctor's appointment.
  • I am sick, sick, sick!  I guess I got whatever my husband had because I feel terrible!  Not sure I'm going to gain any weight this week with how bad I feel.  I tried having some animal crackers and water and that did not work.  Hot tea?  Nope.  I just want to curl up in my warm bed and sleep.  Hopefully it won't last long.
  • I feel really bad because we are going away this week and I'm going to be sick.  My husband thought that it might be nice for us to get away as a family for a few days.  He has a friend with a timeshare in the Poconos so we are headed out there tomorrow night.  I really hope that this sickness eases up so I can have a good time.  At least I'll be able to get some rest.
  • I don't know why I didn't check out Old Navy's maternity department more with Baby Girl.  I ordered a pair of jeans, a pair of khakis and a few shirts and I love them all.  Plus they are so much cheaper than most other places.
  • Baby Girl is on a strong antibiotic for her ear infection and it's making her poop non stop.  The poor girl has diaper rash so badly.  I probably spent $30 this weekend on all kinds of creams to help her out.  I hope it clears up soon.  Any good remedies?
  • I'm not looking forward to seeing the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist, especially since the closest one that uses our insurance is over an hour away!  I'm not sure how I feel about the tubes in the ears but the whole things scares me.  Do I have anything to worry about?
  • I'm really sad the 49ers lost the Superbowl.  They aren't my team, they are my husband's, but I was routing for them.  I really thought they were making a comeback but they just couldn't pull it off in the end.  It's OK.  The QB is so young so it's a better luck next year kind of thing.
  • Half time show?  I didn't really like it.  Beyonce has a beautiful voice.  I wish she would have sang a little more and shaken her ass a little less.
  • I wasn't overly impressed with the commercials this year.  Some of them were OK.  I think the one that really stood out to me was the Taco Bell commercial.   But I thought that there were a lot of serious commercials this year (Budweiser, Jeep, Dodge).  Oh and the GoDaddy commercial with Bar Refaeli kissing the nerd.....actually made me want to vomit.  It was disgusting.  My favorite commercial of all time is the VW Darth Vader commercial from last year.  I laugh every single time I see that commercial.

    How bad is little ones rash? I use vaseline to prevent any from happening. When Emma had a really bad one ( like it started looking like hard skin) we called her Dr and she told us to use Desitin at every change and then to use Lotrimin (yes for foot fungus) 2-3 times a day. It cleared it up very well and ever since we just use vaseline to make sure it doesn't happen again. It happened not long after we brought her from the hospital whivh was where it started.

    The "belly pop" always happens sooner the second time around! I think by the time I hit 10 weeks, I couldn't button my pants anymore. First time around, I don't think I even wore maternity clothes till 6 months.

    The best diaper rash cream I ever used was Aveeno. After the rash is cleared up, use something like the Balmex or Desitin Multi Purpose Ointment to prevent it from happening again. When you use that stuff, it creates a barrier. I used it at every diaper change, and my kids never got a rash. Hope you and baby girl feel better soon! :)

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 ...
