So What Wednesday

Life After I Dew


This week, I'm saying So What if...
  • Most days I don't get to eat breakfast until lunch time  Both kids always manage to wake up and want to eat at the same time.
  • We took both kids for their check ups on Monday.  I thought Ashlyn was going to get some shots but she didn't.  So thankful for that.  Little Guy was a champ for his.
  • I'm so glad we got Baby Girl a kitchen for her birthday but I forgot about how much fake food I would have to eat and how much fake tea I would have to drink.
  • Little Man is sleeping in his crib now and it makes me very happy.  We still don't have a great sleeping pattern down but at least he is in the crib.
  • I have a feeling we are going to need a bigger house to just accommodate all the toys my mom and grandmother bought baby girl for Christmas.
  • My wonderful German POS vehicle has basically decided to take a shit.  We have to have it towed to the mechanic and I am vehicle-less.
  • I am having a sever case of cabin fever due to the previous item on the list.
  • I've kind of lost track of my diet and exercise plan (Thanksgiving, Grandmother's death, Christmas cookies) but have somehow managed to not gain weight.  Go me.
  • We are spending a weekend in Maryland with friends soon and I can't wait. 
  • Christmas is seven days away and I haven't wrapped a single present. 
  • I am so ridiculously happy that Tessanne won The Voice!  I had her picked to win from the beginning!

    Visiting from SWW - I totally know how you feel about the breakfast thing. I started making Carnation instant breakfast drinks because otherwise I wouldn't eat until naptime at like 1pm and I would be STARVING lol. I'm also super happy that Tessanne won too.

    ha! I haven't wrapped anything yet either! I so feel you on the fake eating too! I was so excited she finally bad food for her kitchen - I had no idea it would mean constant naming and eating of said food! :)

    We're having car trouble too and it's the worst! Luckily my car is American and my husband is a mechanic but still. My heart hurts for you having to have a German car! Hahaha, ok it's not as bad a Swedish one! ;)

    LOL @ all the fake tea and food you have to eat and drink. That reminds me of my little niece, she is always making me pretend to do something. Creative girls. Hooray for not keeping track and not gaining weight! That's an ideal correlation.

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 ...
