2013 Year In Review



January - this was when we announced that Baby #2 was on the way!  We were so excited to share the news and couldn't wait any longer. 


February - nothing major happened this month but we did get to see our little man for the first time.  Of course we didn't know he was a little man yet but we were so happy to see him!  We also tried to have a nice Valentine's Day dinner out with our daughter but that didn't work out too well.

 

March - we had tubes put in Baby Girl's ears this month in hopes that the ear infections would stop.  The tubes have done their job and she hasn't had an ear infection since!  Baby Girl also turned 15 months old this month and had another perfect check up!


April - we found out that little man was in fact a little man this month!  This was also the month we decided it was time for me to be a SAHM.  We also decided on our little guy's name and Ashlyn got her first hair cut!

 
 
May - aside from celebrating Mother's Day, this was a pretty boring month.  Nothing major went on but I did participate in a blog every day challenge.  Of course I don't like to blog on the weekends so I skipped some but it was still nice. 


June - this was a big month.  I turned 30, we celebrated Father's Day, Baby Girl turned 18 months old and we confirmed that Little Man was in fact a little man with our 3D ultrasounds!  It was also the month that I had my little fall and had to spend four hours in the OB Triage center to make sure our little guy was ok.



July - this is the month that I finally became a SAHM.  I finally left my job.  Glorious!

August - this was a pretty slow month until the end when our Little Man was born!



September - my first month with two kids.  Bryan's birth story was posted, we celebrated our 3rd anniversary and I blogged a lot about my struggles with breast feeding (Issues, The End, Update).


October - this was another slow month for me.  I didn't post much but I did make updates on the little guy.  This was the month I finally decided to allow nature to take over and decide my breast feeding fate.  I went pink for breast cancer awareness and so did Ashlyn!


November - My little guy turned 3 months old...gah!  We were pretty slow this month aside from celebrating my husband's birthday and Thanksgiving.



December - Baby Girl turned 2, Little Man turned 4 months old, we had our family photos taken, sent our awesome Christmas cards and celebrated an amazing Christmas!  On a sad note, my Grandmother died this month.



That's it for me for 2013.  I still have quite a few posts to catch up on like Baby Girl's 2nd birthday, Little Man's 4 month check up and a Christmas re-cap but 2013 is OVER!

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 ...
