31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 21

 
 
Today was the day.  We had been preparing for the local Apple Harvest Festival for a while now.  If you read my blog at all, you know I have been looking forward to the pumpkin funnel cake this festival promised to supply.  So we packed the baby up, grabbed some friends and headed to the festival.
 
In all honesty, it was a total disappointment.  They had an 'apple bar' which we didn't even really care enough about to look at.  They had a table with assorted apple and pumpkin items on it that you could buy.  They had a pumpkin painting table and some hayrides.  And then they had two food trucks.
 
Maybe I just hyped it up more than I needed to but it was a bit disappointing.  I mean the website did say 4th Annual Apple Harvest Festival.  That sounds pretty amazing doesn't it?  But since I raved about it for like the past month,

Today I am grateful for

Pumpkin Funnel Cake

 
Because even though it kindof sucked, it was nice to get out with some good friends and spend the afternoon picking pumpkins and hanging out.

We also went to Cracker Barrel for lunch so total score there. 
And we got some adorable pictures!

This is a billboard we saw near Cracker Barrel, which just happens to be across the street from Cabela's.  Pretty clever.

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 ...
