A Piece of Advice

Day 8:  A piece of advice you have for others.  Anything at all.


The one thing that both my husband and I tell everyone it's to take a lot of pictures.  I've got about 2500 photos on my phone that document my daughter's life.  This is very precious to me.  I often go back and look at the photos just to see how small she was.  Just to see what she looked like last Mother's Day as compared to this Mother's Day.  Just to see that awesome little smile whenever I want to.

We take so many photos every single day and I wouldn't trade a single one for anything in this world.  I don't even delete the bad photos.  The blurry ones, the one that just didn't turn out the way they were supposed to.

The only thing I regret is not taking more photos.  My husband and I have taken many photos over the years of the places we've been and the things we've seen.  We just haven't taken very many photos of ourselves!  That's one thing I wish I could change.  I wish we had taken more photos together.

So that's my advice.

Take lots of pictures.

And look at them often.

    I love looking at the photos when Emma was just born. It's so unreal!

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...

So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what if... I almost punched a woman in line behind me at the grocery store the other night.  See the full story HERE .  I really think the shirt I wore yesterday makes the bump look huge.  That or all my other shirts disguise it a bit better.  Either way, no more wearing that shirt. Ever since Sunday's 'incident', I think every little cramp or pain is me going into labor.  Yes I know better but the thought is still there (click HERE  for that story). I have absolutely no motivation to cook or clean right now.  I just want to sleep.  All the time. I have already forgotten about Instagram.  I don't adjust well. I tried making the Coca Cola cake that I've been talking about but it wasn't as successful as I hoped it would be.  I will try again at some point. I did make THIS easy dinner recipe and, holy crap, was it awesome! I'm over Kimye's baby.  I was over it the day the kid wa...
