31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 9


 
So yea, I forgot to post this last night.  Oops.  My husband got home late from work so I was caught up in making dinner and playing with the little one and bedtime routine and making lunches and all of that fun stuff.

Anyway...my Baby Girl is in daycare.  I hate it but it's our only option right now.  Our goal is for me to stay home so she doesn't have to go to daycare anymore but again, it works for now.  Hopefully someday soon we can get her out!

The daycare we chose is actually out of our way.  We chose it because my Uncle's girlfriend works there.  A woman who has been coming to our Christmas gatherings for the past I don't even know how many years.  A woman we have come to know and trust and love.

But, like I said, the daycare is a bit out of our way.   
 
So today I am grateful for
 

My Mother

 
She picks Baby Girl up from daycare every day because it's on her way home from work.  She picks her up and takes her to her house and keeps her until I get off of work.  It really helps us out a lot because I don't have to worry about getting off of work in time to go pick her up because sometimes Mommas gotta work late.  It also helps keep me out of the traffic hell that is our highway system around here.

It benefits Baby Girl because she gets to see her Grandmother every day and she loves it!  I always say that my Mom shits gold because everything she does, Baby Girl laughs it.  It's amazing the bond that they share and I couldn't be happier.

So thanks, Mom.  You're a rock star!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

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 ...
