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?

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...

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,...
