SO Tired!!!

I am so tired of people telling me that I am having a boy or a girl. "You're craving sweets so you're having a girl." "The heart rate is what?! Oh you're having a boy." "Well your Mom had two girls so you are having a girl too." "You look like you're carrying low so it has to be a boy."

REALLY??!!! The baby is whatever the baby is! You can't tell me what the gender is by looking at my belly or analyzing what I'm eating. The baby is what the baby is! We find out August 1st what the monster is so leave it alone!

My husband and I were joking about it for quite some time. I would call the baby a 'she' and he would call the baby a 'he'. I realized recently that I was actually getting irritated every time he said 'he' so I asked him to stop and we both agreed to leave it alone until we find out. Why can't everyone else leave it alone?

I feel like people are starting to ruin it for us. I'm so tired of hearing 'it's going to be a boy or girl." It's ok to have hopes for the gender. Most of my friends hope it's a girl and my Mom even said she thinks it's a girl, but none of them are telling me that I'm having a girl.

And why is everyone giving us a hard time about finding out the gender? I have had so many people ask me why we are finding out. Why are we ruining the surprise? Are you serious? Who cares if we find out now or wait until the baby is born? It's a surprise regardless so how are we ruining it?

We are both very impatient people at times. We like to know what's coming. We WANT to know what the gender of our baby is NOW! And we want to buy gender appropriate items for our baby. If it's a boy, I'm sure my husband will be buying all kinds of camouflage gear for him. If it's a girl, I'll be searching high and low for the cutest pink gear I can find! It's what we want! We haven't even had the kid yet and we are already being critiqued on how we are doing things!

Maybe it's my hormones or maybe I'm just tired of people forcing their opinions on us like thier opinion is the only right opinion in the world. We are going to find out the gender of our baby on August 1st (as long as the baby permits) and we are going to buy boy or girl gear for our baby and we are going to stop talking about it!

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 ...
