A Beautiful Weekend!

We decided to take Baby Girl to see her Uncle and Aunt this weekend.  My husband's brother lives about an hour and a half away from us so we don't get to see him and his wife very often.  My husband likes to use Facetime on the iPad to talk to them but that's not the same.

So Saturday, after my husband finished his work day (which wasn't until 7pm), we headed to his brother's house.  Baby Girl slept almost the whole way there, go figure.  Just like her Mama, she can't stay awake on long car rides.  Not a big deal but not fun when you know you're going to be awake with the little one until midnight!

We didn't arrive until around 9 because we stopped for food on the way.  We just relaxed for a bit and let Baby Girl run around and try to burn off some of her nap time energy.  It was a little rough but I finally got her to sleep around midnight.  She woke up at 8am the next morning ready to explore!

After a nice breakfast at Cracker Barrel, we spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching Baby Girl run around like a wild woman!  I'm so glad it was a warm day because she spent the entire day outside.  She ran around, rode on the tractor, played with the dog and just enjoyed the day.

 
 
 She decided she wanted to check out the dog crate.
 
Then she decided to crawl into the dog crate.  By the time I got the picture, she was crawling back out.  Of course the dog wants to know why she is in the crate! 

 Baby Girl and Uncle T.  The dog, Remy, was in love and would not leave Baby Girl alone for a second!

 Daddy gave Baby Girl a ride on the tractor.  She cried at first but then she loved it and wouldn't leave it alone.  They were giving her random rides the rest of the day!  I posted this picture on Facebook with the caption, "Redneck amusement park ride!"

Can you spot the baby?  She wouldnt' leave the tractor alone!

 
Look at that happy face!
  
After forcing Baby Girl to take a very short nap, we ate some dinner where she proceeded to stuff herself with mashed potatoes.  She was messy but it was worth it!  She slept most of the ride back home but it wasn't quite as bad to get her to sleep since we left around 5:30. 
 
She is still very tired today and didn't seem to want to go to daycare!  I think we will be spending a lot of time outside this Summer!!
 
Tomorrow is the day!!!!  We find out if we are team pink or team blue!!!  My husband won't be able to make it to the appointment so I asked my Grandmother to join me.  I know she is excited to find out and she thinks it's girl.  Today is the last day to vote!  I have to tell my husband right away but I think that I will post the update tomorrow night or Wednesday morning.  I have a plan!  (or I might be too excited and might just spill the bean right away...we'll see!)

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 ...
