Friday's Letters



Dear Baby Girl, well three out of the past five nights, you have slept the whole night in your bed and have not come into my bed at 4am.  Progress.  I'm really not sure what's causing your early morning wakings but I'm really hoping they stop soon.  You always kick and elbow me and I can't sleep!
 
Dear Little Man, I'm so sorry you are sick!  This cold you have is a nasty one.  Fevers, coughs, runny noses.  You have still been pretty happy throughout but the nap and bed time fighting don't make things easier.  I hope you get over it soon buddy!

Dear Jillian, I just completed day 5 of the first week of your 30 day shred.  I really like this workout.  I like that it's done in segments and I like knowing how much longer I have in the workout.  I'm really looking forward to taking it up a notch next week.   Shred me baby!

Dear new (ish) treadmill and elliptical, I love you both.  I love that I get to do double workouts and really feel like I'm accomplishing something. 

Dear Monika, thank you so much for the treadmill and elliptical.  I can't even tell you how awesome it was to find that you were giving yours away.  I use them every day!

Dear new(ish) fridge, I absolutely love you too!  We were very lucky to find you on Craigslist because you were exactly what we were looking for at a third of the price.  We really got lucky this week!

Dear readers, don't forget, if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask.  Ask them here or comment on my original post (Ask Me).  I'll be answering on Monday.  Also, I'd love to follow you all on Instagram and Facebook if I'm not already.  Leave me a comment if you'd wouldn't me friend requesting you on Facebook or leave my your IG handle.  Have a good weekend!

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 ...
