Happy 4th of July!


I will most likely not be blogging again until Tuesday so I thought I'd get this in now. What kinds of plans do you have for this holiday weekend?

Tonight will probably be our usual dinner at Applebees where we sit at the bar and converse with our favorite bar tender. We only sit at the bar out of habit and because she is pretty much the only person we like. Don't worry, it's just water for me. My husband, however, will have as many Long Island Ice Teas as I will allow him.

I will sleep in Saturday, as long as the dogs don't wake me up and then spend the day doing laundry and cleaning. Saturday night will be spent with friends, in or out of their pool, depending on the weather. We may even enjoy a bon fire.

Sunday is church and then dinner with some other friends.

Monday is my husband's annual family picnic. It's going to be HOT so the baby and I are not looking forward to spending the day outside in the heat, especially with elephant man ankles!

It's going to be a busy weekend and I am going to hate dragging myself back to work on Tuesday but guess what Tuesday is??!!! Our next check up! We will get to hear our baby's heartbeat again so I'm very excited for that! I will post an update after the appointment. And you know what else?! One month from today we will find out if this is a little boy monster or a little girl monster! I am SO excited!! I'm still trying to figure out the gender party :(

Enough about me....I hope that you all have a great holiday weekend. Remember to think about all of our servicemen and women as you celebrate our Independence Day!

I'd like to take this time to thank Drew Yetter for his service. I graduted from High School with Drew. We re-connected via Facebook, where I found he was fighting for our Country. He was recently wounded while in Afghanistan but he is ok and back to 'work'. Stay safe Drew and thank you for your service! That's my shout out. Who are you going to shout out to?

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 ...
