My Dear Sweet Baby Girl

In about two months, you will become a big sister.  Everything is about to change for you.  I can't help but feel a little sad that our one on one time is ending but I know that we will navigate through this new adventure together. 

You have been such an amazing little child.  You are so smart and funny and strong willed.  You give tons of hugs and kisses and you laugh like no one else in this world.  I hope that you will never forget how much your Daddy and I need you and love you.

I know that this is going to be a big adjustment for you and I can only hope that I help to make it as smooth as possible.  You will always be my first born, my Baby Girl.  We have such a strong bond and nothing will ever shake it. 

Your brother will need a lot of attention at first and I don't ever want you to feel left out or feel like we don't love you as much.  I will do my best to involve you in every part of this process.  I know that you will be a fantastic helper and I will need your help a lot!

I hope that you and your brother will share a very strong bond that will never be broken.  I hope that you want to protect him whenever he needs it.  I hope that he returns that protection.  I hope that you give him the same hugs and kisses that you give us. 

I hope that you can learn to share your toys.  I hope that you will teach your brother his ABC's and teach him how to count as well as you already do.  I hope that you will teach him all of the songs that you know and that you will sing to him every day. 

I hope that you make him laugh and that you laugh with him.  Your laughs are so sweet already, I can't imagine how much my heart will swell to hear you both laugh!  I hope you share with him your love of being outside.  I hope you play nicely together and always make up whenever you fight.

You are such a sweet girl and I can't wait to see the kind of sweetness you will share with your brother.  I can't wait to see the pride you will have at being the older sibling and being the one who gets to teach him new things.

These next two months are going to be very precious to Daddy and I because we get to spend them with just you.  We are going to soak you in even more than usual and enjoy our time left as a family of three while getting more excited about becoming a family of four.

You just keep being your awesome little self.  We wouldn't want you any other way.

Love,
Mommy

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 ...
