31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 2

 
If there is one thing I can't stand it's when I create a nice organized schedule for the week and then something disrupts the schedule.  I plan out what meals we are having on what days, what kinds of exercise I'm going to do each day and any other plans we may have.  It takes time to do this.  So when my schedule does not go as planned, I get angry.
 
Well, it doesn't always work out the way I want it to.  My husband owns his own landscaping business so plans change all of the time.  Surprise meetings pop up.  Projects have to be completed on time.  Employees don't show up making my husband's day that much longer.  I feel like I am getting better at accepting the randomness of it all. 
 
Tonight was one of those nights when my plans were interrupted by my husband's business.  He had to schedule a dinner meeting with a designer so our dinner plans were out the window.  With my recent diet, it is hard for me to eat at a restaurant and stay on track.
 
So, today I am grateful for
 

Salad Bars

Yes, salad bars are awesome.  I am very picky about my salads.  I only like a specific kind of lettuce.  It can't be too dark and it can't be too light.  Yes I will pick through the lettuce until I fill my plate with the right kind of lettuce.  I only like ham cubes, cheese and a few croutons with my salad.  And I only like French or Catalina dressing.
 
Yes I'm that picky.  I can't help it.  So it's hard to find a salad bar that has everything I need.  So when my husband springs it on me that we are going out to dinner instead of eating the nice healthy  meal I had planned, I am extremely grateful for salad bars. 
It's simple but it works.

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 ...
