31 Week Bumpdate



The heart rate today was 160 and all is well.

Little Man is so active.  I don't really know when this kid sleeps because it seems like he is always moving.  He especially likes to kick whenever I am laying down. 

According to the doctor's scale, I lost a pound.  It's no wonder since I have been so sick lately.  Last Friday I was up all night sick and the doctor said there was a GI bug going around.  The last two days I have been really nauseous and throwing up but I'm starting to feel better.

Despite the heat and humidity, the swelling has not been bad.  I am surprised by this but I'm not complaining.  I still try to wear long pants all the time in case those elephant ankles surprise me.   

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 have been having some lower back cramps but the doctor doesn't seem concerned. 

I don't ever sleep through the night anymore because I'm either uncomfortable or have to pee but I don't usually have any issues falling back to sleep when I'm up.

I have been craving carrots for some reason.  But not just any carrots.  Carrots cooked in brown sugar.  This is the way my Mom has always made them and that's all I want to eat!

My baby shower is in two weeks and I can't wait!!  My Mom said that she hasn't received many responses, though, so that's a bummer.  People, if you got an invite, my Mom is old school and put her home telephone number on there.  You have to call!  You can't text!
On a better note, my final end date for work is July 12th.  I am off the 4th and the 5th for the holiday and then I only have one week left!!  We are going to keep Baby Girl in daycare for one extra week just so I can get the house cleaned and get some things caught up.

I am very excited and nervous about staying home.  I know that I will have a great time with my little ones but I fear that I will crave adult interaction too.  I guess we'll just see how it goes!


 
I have now had numerous people tell me I look like I'm ready to pop and I had one person ask me if I am having twins.  Um...I've only gained 16lbs in 31 weeks.  Do I really look that big?!?!  I actually thought I looked a little smaller this week!

Next Bumpdate in two weeks!

    I feel the same way! I feel like I'm huge and then I've only gained about 8lbs in 16 weeks. And I think it's all in my chest! :o)
    SO excited you have an end date for work!! Try to find a mommy and me group. I've tried and failed....I'm just not good at making friends/meeting new people out of my comfort zone.
    I hope people respond to those invites, it's annoying when they don't!

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...

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 ...

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 ...
