1.  What do you look forward to more: the food, football or parades?
-----Hands down the food.  My Mom only makes dried corn on the holidays and I look forward to that so much.
 
2.  What is your favorite non-traditional Thanksgiving Day dish?
-----We don't really eat anything that is non-traditional.  We usually have mashed potatoes and stuffing, turkey and ham, veggies like corn, carrots, dried corn and green beans and sometimes we add some broccoli and cheese.  And rolls of course.
 
3.  After dinner, is it football or a nap?
-----Neither....cleaning up is usually right after dinner.  The men go and watch football (typical!) while the women clean up and gossip!  After that, you may or may not find me curled up asleep somewhere.  We'll see this year, though, since it's Baby Girl's first Thanksgiving!
 
4.  Do you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade?  Which is your favorite float?
-----We don't really watch it.  One TV usually has it on but we don't really sit and watch it.  That means I don't have a favorite float but maybe I will sit down and watch it this year and see if I can choose a favorite float.

5.  Where do you go to celebrate and eat your big meal?  Who is there (family, friends)?
-----We celebrate Thanksgiving with my Dad's side of the family.  They usually change which house we have it at each year, alternating between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  This year it is at my Mom and Dad's house.
 
6.  What is your favorite turkey day dessert?
-----Anything pumpkin!  I usually make a pumpkin pie or a pumpkin roll but this year I am going to try making pumpkin roll sandwiches.  They are going to be awesome!

Link up and share your Thanksgiving plans with us!!

    Yes, cleaning up is what I get to do after the meal, too. :) What woman in America gets to take a nap?!

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 ...
