Happy Anniversary

They say that your wedding day is the happiest day of your life.  I agree.  I remember feeling very calm and happy all day.  I wasn't nervous or frantic like many brides can be.

I didn't freak out when half my flowers froze overnight and we were left with ugly, browned lilies.  My Mom and the DJ's wife had to pull the bouquets apart right before the ceremony and put them back together so we would have pretty flowers again.  Fortunately the unity candle piece did not freeze because that was my favorite set of flowers.

I didn't freak out when we realized that the limo that was supposed to comfortably hold the entire wedding party was actually really tight even with the 2 or 3 who decided to drive with their spouses.

I didn't freak even though the photographer was a bit of a douche bag (I can call a woman that right?) and got on my last nerve because she wasn't doing what I was asking her to do.  It was like 80 degrees outside, I had on a 20lb dress and my 4 inch ivory heels were digging into the grass!

I didn't freak out when the cake topper fell over and sortof smushed the top of our cake.  My Mom tried to get a washcloth and clean the cake topper and smooth out the top of the cake but it wasn't pretty.  I also didn't freak out when I saw the cake and thought, those flowers look orange, not red.  The photographer wasn't able to get a good picture before the cake topper fell but another friend who attended did. 


I didn't even get mad when they played The Electric Slide even though I told the DJ I didn't want any of that corny-ass music played at my wedding. 

With all of the tiny issue we had that day, the big picture stayed clear in my mind.  I was getting married!  I wish I could have bottled up all of that happiness and saved it for one of my less graceful days that I would have in the coming years but you know how that goes.

We've been up and down like crazy the past two years.  We were given the most beautiful gift we could have ever asked for when had our daughter last year and now not only do I have an awesome husband, but I have someone who is an amazing Father as well. 


 
No matter what happens, somehow we always figure it out.

Happy Anniversary

  3. Happy Anniversary! I remember our wedding day was quite the adventure, too. Though, after 30 years, it gets a little fuzzy. I often wish I had journaled back then (that's kind of like blogging, only in a book for you youngsters).

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 ...
