So What Wednesday

So What Wednesday
This week, I'm saying so what if...
  • My child's obsession with hitting is seriously pushing me over the edge.  Even daycare is complaining.  How do I break her of this nasty habit, aside from duct taping her arms to her sides?
  • I had so much fun having my 'adult time' with my friends this past weekend that I want to do it every weekend!  I think our babies had fun too!
  • I was so amazed when above mentioned friend, who is Polish, told me that in Poland, kids are potty trained as soon as they can walk that I picked out a potty for Baby Girl.  Potty trained by September?  We'll see!
  • I went from not posting enough to posting too much last week.  I have to find a nice balance in between.
  • I have been getting a ton of spam comments lately and it's really beginning to piss me off.  Where do these people come from?!
  • I'm debating on whether or not to sign up for Bloglovin.  I just read my blogs from the blogger view.  Am I going to lose blogs if I don't sign up?
  • I am feeling so much more anxious about finding out the gender of this baby than I did the first time around.  I can't wait to find out!
  • I am officially calling Baby Girl bottle free.  It's been over two weeks since we took her night time bottle away and she has been amazing.  Let's hope there's not too much regression when Baby #2 comes.
  • We haven't gone grocery shopping in like two weeks.  I guess that's good because we had enough food to last but bad because now we are running out!
  • I created a registry for the baby a while ago just because I was entered to win a $250 gift card.  I have no real desire to buy anything for this child yet.
  • The only real babysitter we have for Baby Girl is my Mom.  We need some more friends!  Or a paid babysitter we trust.
  • I'm 16 weeks and 3 days and I still haven't gained an ounce of weight.  I can't believe how different this pregnancy has been.
  • At 16 weeks last time I around, I had posted this:  Eeeeewwwwwww - no elephant man feet so far!  (Yes, I just double checked to make sure)
  • The only thing I have been really craving so far is gravy.  At least two meals per week have some kind of gravy with them.  Weird but good.
  • I'm  starting to panic about having the space for Baby #2.  While we are planning to move to a bigger house, it won't be for a few months after the baby is born.  2 adults + 2 kids + 4 animals in a tiny 2 bedroom house = DISASTER!
  • I'm hoping to have some good news to share within the next few weeks (besides the baby gender).  I have been dying to share but I have to make sure things are aligned properly first.
  • We are still at half and half for the gender of Baby Miller #2.  Don't forget to vote!
  • I am in love with this song and, like a teenager, I have been listening to it over and over again.  My new favorite...

    Hi, I'm visiting through the So What Wednesday link-up. I am 16w4d pregnant with my second. I am dying to find out the gender too. More so than the first time. And our house is suddenly shrinking in size now that I imagine having two children in it. Or maybe that's just because of the outrageous number of toys our family buys for our son for his birthday.

    Yay for good news! Can't wait to hear!
    And we only have my parents for sitters, but since my dad is sick, we don't even have that. So, I know how you feel!
    There is a way to turn off spam comments, it's in the comment area of blogger.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

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 ...
