So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying So What if...

I'm pretty sure my son hates me. I mean, why else would he sleep all day long and stay awake all night long? The poor kid is so tired at night, I can see it in his eyes and hear it in his cry but he just refuses to go to sleep. I need to get this straightened out before I go insane.
I wanted to sleep so badly last night that I actually let the little guy sleep in his swing. It's his favorite place to sleep. As you can tell, that strategy did not pay off.
I hate you ladies who lose the belly within two weeks of giving birth. Ok, I don't hate you, but I am insanely jealous of you. Especially since I could still pass for six months pregnant.
I am addicted to the show Love It or List It. It's always on when I'm up all night hoping that the kid will drift off to sleep at some point.
I didn't love the new Michael J Fox show. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
I'm frustrated that the breastfeeding still isn't going well. It's been almost six weeks...why am I not seeing any improvement?!
I really want to re-design my blog but I just don't have the time. I'm lucky I'm even making this post!
We have a very busy weekend planned and it literally makes me want to cry. All I want to do is sleep but we won't be home for most of the weekend.
My husband and I are trying to decide what we want to do with our house situation. We might be starting renovations very soon.
I check Instagram like every five minutes for more pictures of squishy little babies since I follow a ton of people with new squishy little babies.
I have some errands to run today but I dread taking both kids because I'm just too tired. I might be calling my Grandmother to babysit for me. (Is it ok to call her to watch the kids just so I can take a nap?)

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 ...
