Honestly, I don't even know what to blog about right now.

We have so many things going on and happening in the next few months but no real news we are able to share as of yet. 

So what's been going on with us lately?

Well, I'm pregnant.  This been going much better since the second trimester hit.  I've been limiting my bumpdates to doctor's appointments because, let's face it, they can be quite repetitive.  The food is finally staying down and the belly is growing quite well.

The kids are sick again.  Hoping it kicks this weeks.  They haven't been too bad this time around, just some coughing and runny noses.  Bryan has been getting breathing treatments because we don't want to spend any time in the hospital.

Speaking of Bryan, I've been limiting his updates too but I think I may need to do one soon.  This kid is hilarious!  He talks like crazy and sings now and it's awesome.  He sings let it go a lot and for some reason my mom taught him to sing are you, are you coming to the tree.  Sorry mom but the Hanging Tree isn't exactly age appropriate.  He's a big tantrum thrower but he is also good at helping, apologizing and laughing like crazy.  He is also teething right now.  2 year molars coming in early.  Puffy gums and snotty noses.  It's been fun.

Ashlyn has been sassy as ever.  The attitude has exploded and boy has it been an adventure.  She talks back now, rolls her eyes, has perfected the talent of selective hearing.  But she is also very sweet and giving (when she wants to be) and really does a good job at helping with her brother.

She insists that she is getting a baby sister and I'm actually starting to believe her.  We keep trying to explain to her that she might be getting another brother and she just yells at us and says no, it's a sister.  I was thinking this one was a boy but I've been having the girl feeling and I've been having weird dreams that all say it's a girl so we shall see.

We weren't going to find out the gender but I think we are now.  May 4th.  That's the day.

My husband is on the Whole30 diet again and as of right now (day 28) he is down 19lbs.  Holy crap!  He loves this diet because he gets to eat tons of fruits and veggies, which he loves.  He hates this diet because he doesn't get to eat any artificial sugars (no cookies, cakes, alcohol), which he loves.

But 19lbs in less than a month?  I'd say that's worth it.  He plans to go another 30 days to see just how much he can lose with this.  Once he plateaus, I will probably make him try the Beachbody 21 Day Fix program.  I think that would be a great program for him.

Yes, I'm still a Beachbody coach.  I don't do much with it these days.  I've been so tired and I've been way too sick to workout.  But I'm hoping to get back to working out now that I feel better.  Shameless plug: Invest some of your tax return in yourself this year!  We have tons of awesome programs and everyone raves about Shakeology!

We hosted Easter dinner and that went well.  It was just my parents and nephew, my grandmother and my brother in law and sister in law.  We had way more food than we needed, as usual.  The kids had a ton of fun playing and they slept really well last night.  We didn't get any great pictures of the kids because they were pretty much always in motion but that's ok.  I hope you all had a great Easter!






I don't have time to blog much but I am on IG.  vmiller0918 if you're interested.

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 ...
