Happy Thanksgiving

 
I hope that everyone had a wonderful day.
I hope that you all spent time with your families and ate way too much food!
 
I didn't hardly turn my computer on at all since last Wednesday.  I didn't do a ton of Black Friday shopping online as I had intended.  I didn't blog at all which means I didn't get to read any of your lovely blogs.  I have a lot of catching up to do!
 
I spent the time with my family.  Thanksgiving Day was spent with some of my Dad's side of the family and the rest of the time was just my little angel and I.  My husband was mixed in there occasionally as well but he had to work most of the weekend.
 
We laughed and played all weekend.  Daddy taught Baby Girl how to drink from a straw on Sunday.  He was so proud.  She learned a whole bunch of new words (I Love is my favorite) and has come even closer to walking on her own.  We did a little holiday shopping and put our Christmas decorations out.  We had such a fun little weekend.
 
Oh, and I went and saw Breaking Dawn Part 2 on Sunday.  A.MAZ.ING!  I may even write a post about it, spoilers included.

We had a great weekend and I wish we had more like them.  I'm in full Christmas shopping mode now and I can't wait to get it all finished.  More posts to come!

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 ...
