I am officially done with my Christmas shopping.  I am so excited that I got it done already and won't have to scramble for last minute gifts.  Now I'm excited to sort them all out and wrap them.  Yes, I am one of those people who sorts gifts by the person and then wraps each person's gifts in the same paper.  I also love to decorate with bows and ribbons.

Our weather this week.....no winter coats needed.  It was kind of nice to not have blistery, cold weather this week.  At the same time, I'm ready for some snow. 
 
 
 
FOUR
 
I broke down and bought one of these dam candles.  I'm kind of excited to get it, burn it and see what kind of ring I get.  I plan to burn the thing all day long the day I get it because I'm very impatient and want my ring right away.  I got one for my Mom too.

    When I had more time, I used to wrap everyone's presents in different wrapping paper! Once we have another child, I will probably go back to doing that. It will make Christmas morning less confusing and chaotic!

    He's getting so big!! I need to get or make stockings next year. I just change my mind every year on what I want.
    My parents used to wrap gifts with different paper for everyone and I'm sure I'll end up doing the same thing for the kids next year.

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...

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 ...
