Hi, I'm Vanessa!

Here are a few facts about me:

I never thought I would love being a Mom as much as I do.  It helps that I have an amazing kid who is ridiculously adorable and makes me laugh every single day.  I can't wait to have another one (two, or three) just like her!
My amazing kid who is ridiculously adorable and makes me laugh every single day.
 
I am not a morning person.  It doesn't matter what time I go to bed the night before.  I hate mornings.  I am a set four alarms on my cell phone and hit snooze on all four alarms person. 

I have an extremely foul mouth.  I can't help it.  It's just part of my vocabulary.  I blame my Dad. But I try really hard not to swear in my blog posts. 

I am a super duper Twilight fan.  I mean, I'm not a t-shirt wearing, tote bag wielding, fleece blanket on the couch kind of fan but I do love Twilight.  100 days until the final movie.  (oh and yea, my blog name, which Twilight movie is that from?)

Christmas is my favorite holiday.  I love finding the perfect gifts.  I love decorating.  I love baking.  I love seeing homes decorated with lights.  I love everything about it.  And I get crazy into it.  Like I have an on-going list of all people I buy gifts for and what gifts I want to buy or have bought.  Then I wait until all of the gifts have arrived and then separate them based on who they are for.  Every person gets their own wrapping paper and gift tags.  I'm a little psycho.

I have never lived more than 15 minutes away from my parents.  Is that strange?

My favorite color is pink, favorite candy is Twix and I LOVE pasta.

If you follow me I will most likely follow you back.  If you comment on a post or page, I will always reply. 

I started my blog when I found out I was pregnant last year as a way to document my pregnancy and it has turned into so much more for me.  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

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 ...

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 ...
