My Favorite Thing...

I think it's safe to say I've been pretty miserable throughout my pregnancy. The heartburn, the swollen ankles, the mood swings, the lack of energy....just not ok with me. I wish that I could have skipped the first 6 months and just gone right to the third trimester!

My husband thinks that my moods have improved because of the cooler weather. While I do think the heat killed me, I think there is another reason why my moods improved. I love to feel my Little Miss move!

It's my favorite thing about the pregnancy. I love feeling her move! Sometimes I say that I feel like I have a worm in my belly because she moves so much but I don't care. I could sit for hours and just watch my belly and feel her move. I just love it.

Maybe it makes the whole baby thing more real or maybe it's just really cool that there's something in there moving around. I don't really know what it is I just know that I love feeling her move! I finally got to experience her little hiccups! I love them too!

My husband has no interest in feeling her move. That actually makes me mad. I just don't understand how he can't be as excited about it as I am. He says he will be excited when she is here. I guess I can understand that.

Of course now I'm starting to freak out a little bit because the date is approaching quickly! I only have 2 months left. 2 months, to finish remodeling our house. 2 months to ger her room all set up. 2 months to get prepared (as if you are ever prepared). These 2 months are going to fly by!

I can't wait to meet you Little Miss!

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 ...
