So What Wednesday

So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what if...
  • I still can't read or hear any news related to Sandy Hook.  I just can't hear about those poor children...ever.  It makes me too sad.
  • My husband is still sleeping on the couch.  His flu symptoms are gone but he still has a nasty cough.  The plague treatment has paid off because Baby Girl and I didn't catch his illness.
  • I finally got Baby Girl's birthday thank you cards done. 
  • Our Christmas lights are still up outside.  And they are on a timer and we are too lazy to turn it off so they go on every night.  I'm sure my husband will take them down eventually.
  • I prepped myself for Parenthood this week, caught up on all the episodes I missed, and I still missed it last night!  Good thing they show the episodes online!
  • I DVR as many movies as possible when there is a free HBO/Cinemax/Stars weekend.  We have a ton of awesome movies to watch now!
  • I'm starting to feel like I am linking up too much again.  I won't give up my SWW but I need to get some more original posts up in here!
  • Thinking about how busy our weekend is going to be is already making me tired.
  • My husband booked us a getaway to the Poconos in February.  I'm kind of excited to just get away from everyone and relax.  Yes, relax with a toddler.  It's good in theory.
  • Baby Girl all of the sudden decided to start walking.  I love it but she is into everything now!

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 ...
