So What Wednesday

So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what if...
  • I've written Baby Girl's first birthday and 12 month posts but haven't had time to edit them to post.  I'll get to them this week sometime.
  • Baby Girl had no interest in her Christmas gifts.  She would rip a little paper off at a time but only because I was bribing her.  Oh well.  Better luck next year.
  • I didn't send my Christmas cards out until the Saturday before Christmas.
  • I'm sad that Christmas is over already but I'm a little happy that I can take the decorations down soon.  They cause a bit of clutter in our house.
  • Baby Girl gets to spend the rest of this week at her Nana's house and I know she will have so much fun that she won't want to come home.
  • I have not been feeling well since my company Christmas party last Friday where I had a little too much to drink and thoroughly embarrassed the crap out of myself. 
  • Our Christmas Village plans for last weekend were canceled because it was too windy and too cold.  Oh well....I think we are trying again this weekend!
  • I am so tired!  I would much rather have holidays like these happen on a weekend so I get an extra day during the week to recuperate!
  • I'm a little jealous of the people west of us who are getting tons of snow right now.  I love snow.

  1. I'm sad Christmas is over so quickly too. I wish I was able to spend it relaxing instead of with my "let's stress Jenn out" family.

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 ...

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...

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 ...
