So What Wednesday (or Thursday)

Check out Shannon at Life After I Dew for So What Wednesday.

So what if:

~I forgot to post this yesterday. It's been a busy week.

~I'm nesting hardcore. Baby clothes are washed and put away, diapers are set up, rearranging and organizing is taking place. It's been fun.

~I am excited for my doctor's appointment on Monday but also dreading it. I'm pretty sure we are going to be dealing with some preeclampsia this time around again so that makes me nervous.

~I'm obsessed with Making a Murderer. I have 3 or 4 episodes left but now I want to read all the articles that show why he's guilty. The show is not convincing.

~My husband and I are also kind of obsessed with The 100. We started watching it on Netflix and now we are totally drawn in.

~My kitchen is ALWAYS a mess. There are always dishes to be done, counters to be cleaned, floors to be washed. It's annoying that my kitchen just never stays clean.

~I'm really looking forward to dinner with friends tomorrow night. We haven't had a date night in a while so we can really use the time away from the kids.

~We are going on vacation the beginning of February, except it's not really a vacation for me. I get to do what I do every day while my husband gets to go skiing with his friends. Not saying that he doesn't deserve some off time but what about me?

~I was so excited for The Martian and I still haven't watched it.

~I'm excited for the snow that we are supposed to get but I hate that my husband has to work when it snows. Why couldn't he pick a profession where snow days are encouraged?

What are you saying so what to?

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 ...
