Speak to Me

Day 29:  Five songs or pieces of music that speak to you or bring back memories.


TLC - Waterfalls
 
 
Yes I know this is an odd choice but there is a story here.  This song was released in 1995.  My husband and I met in 1995.  Yes, we were quite young and what did youngsters have to talk about back then?  Music.  Somehow we go on the subject of this video and about how cool we both thought it was.  That's how our story begins.

Sarah McLachlan - I Love You
 
 
This is our wedding song.  We had both loved this song long before it became our wedding song but once we finally decided to get married, we both knew without a doubt that this was our song.
 
 
Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill - How Great Thou Art
 
 
Regardless of what this song means, if you are not completely moved by this, there is something seriously wrong with you.  I could listen to this over and over again.
 
 
Pearl Jam - Just Breath
 

I'm not really sure why I love this song so much. I think maybe because the point behind it is for us to be grateful for the ones we have and to be grateful for the time we have.
 
 
Zach Sobiech - Clouds
 
 
I'm not trying to be cliche or anything but this kid is so inspirational.  The song is cute but that doesn't matter.  It's amazing because it was his way of saying goodbye to his friends and family.  He shared it with the world.  I can only hope to have and ounce of the courage he had.

    A lot of people posted How Great Thou Art. Such a great song, and I love Carrie Underwood's version of it! Also, I just watched the 20 minute documentary (I guess that's what one would call it?) about Zach Sobiech - I hadn't heard of the song clouds prior to it, and I cried ugly tears. You're right, he's so inspirational and Clouds is such a heartbreaking, but wonderful song.

    I just heard Waterfalls yesterday. I hadn't heard it in ages before then.

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 ...
