Update 11/15/11

How far along: 36 weeks, 28 days to go!
Size of baby: The size of a honeydew!
Maternity Clothes: Nothing new recently!
Gender: Baby Girl!
Movement: Lots and lots!
What I miss: My energy, being able to sleep through the night.
Cravings: I'm not really craving much of anything.
Symptoms: Severe swelling and heartburn :(

We had a good appointment today. Heart rate was 154 and everything looks good. I dropped 2 pounds since last week which means the low salt diet is working the way it should be! Trying to find foods to eat that are low sodium that actually have taste is tough! I still swell up but not nearly as bad as I had been. I go back every week from here on out. It's the homestretch!

I still have not been able to sleep a full night. I wake up a few times throughout the night because I have to pee or because I have heartburn or just because! It's very frustrating and it's probably the reason I'm so tired all of the time.

The nursery did not get done last week as planned. My husband is busier than ever with work so it's been hard for him to get anything done around the house. We do have it started, though. The new plan is to have it completed by the end of this week so that we can put all of the baby shower items in there on Sunday.

The baby shower is this weekend! I am so excited for it. If you haven't RSVP'd yet, please do it! We are going to have a great time! I have to get working on the blog scrapbook. I haven't even started it yet! And I don't know if I'm going to unleash the name or not. The farther we go, the more I just want to keep it to myself until she is born. I guess we will wait and see.

My friends and I went to the Philly Premium Outlets this past Saturday and got some Christmas shopping done! I only have a few more people to shop for and then I'm DONE!! I'm trying to get it done as early as possible so I don't have to worry about it when Little Miss comes. Gift cards are going to be the gift of the season!

I'm also trying to plan my Christmas card. I want to make sure it's designed and ready to go so all we have to do is add some pictures of Little Miss to it. It's going to be a birth announcement/Christmas card. It's going to be very cute if we can find the time to put it together once she is here!

Here is the baby bump photo of the week...

My little puggers have been very cuddly lately. I think they know it's getting close!

I think that's all for now. I will post again next week after my next doctor's appointment and hopefully have pictures from the baby shower!

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...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
