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!

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

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 ...

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 ...
