You're the Worst!

Day 24:  Your top three worst traits

I don't always think before I speak.  I call it being blunt.  Others call it being rude.  Either way it's a gift and a curse.  I don't generally sugar coat things.  If you ask me for my honest opinion, expect my brutally honest opinion.  I have gotten better with this over the years but it's really one of those traits that never goes away.  You either love me for it or you hate me for it.



I have no patience.  Like ZERO.  I never have.  If I ask my husband to do something, I expect him to do it immediately.  If he doesn't, I get mad, yell at him and do it myself.  I thought that I would be the worst Mom in the world because of my lack of patience but it turns out, kids really do help with this.  I still have my moments but I have gotten much better. 



I'm stubborn.  There was one time that I threw a container of butter on the floor because my husband didn't move it when I asked him to (see patience) and I refused to pick it up.  We would actually used it and then put back in the spot on the floor for like two weeks until one of us finally picked it up.  I'm that stubborn.  It can be like five year old tantrum kind of stubborn sometimes too.  Not pretty.


Otherwise.  I rock.

    I do the same thing, speaking without thinking at times.

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 ...
