Friday's Letters

Linking up with The Sweet Season for Friday's Letters


Dear Baby Girl, after a doctor's visit, a chest x-ray, some much needed rest and some antibiotics, you are finally starting to feel better!  Aside from a little bit of a cough, you seem sick-free for a change.  Now we start teething again.  Those fangs are finally coming in!

Dear Baby #2, you must finally be growing some hair because the non-stop heartburn has begun.  It's OK.  I'll take it over the non-stop vomiting you were causing.  I want you to have a full head of hair just like your sister!  Gah...I love saying that!  Sister!!

Dear crazy lady in CA, it's people like you who make me want to quit my job right this second and yank my child out of daycare.  Sleeping pills in the sippy cups?  You could have killed one of those poor innocent children!  You are a crazy bitch and I hope you go to jail for a long time. 

Dear blog, I'm getting better!  This is my 8th post this week.  OK, maybe that's a little too much.  I'll try to only post one thing per day.  But at least I have some content.  Now for the re-design!

Dear Monika, I can't wait to see you Sunday!  I am in serious need of some adult time.  I know we will have the babies but it still counts!

Dear other friends, now that it seems like everyone in my family is somewhat healthy again, we might be able to start making some plans.  Then again, I said that before and we all got sick. 

Dear daylight savings, I'm really not a fan of you.  I understand that you allow the sun to shine later each day but taking an hour of my much needed sleep away?  Not cool.  We can be friends again in November.

Dear readers, don't forget to vote!! Will Baby #2 be a boy or a girl? Between the pole on the blog and my Facebook friends, we are at 50/50 right now!

Have a great weekend!

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 ...
