33 Week Bumpdate




The heart rate was 156 and all is well.

I'm a little confused because my pregnancy app says that I was 33 weeks and 4 days but the doctor says I was 34 weeks and 1 day. I will take the latter since that means the little man could be here sooner!

I don't even want to talk about my weight. Even though the doctor says my weight is fine, every time I see the number on that scale go it up it kills me! I know this little guy is not done growing so I guess I need to get over it!

The backaches have been really bad this time around. The little man is so low he is just killing my back. He is also kicking or hitting my hip bones all of the time. The doctor says it's normal with a second child as is all the pressure he puts down there.

The heartburn has been ridiculously bad. I have been dealing with it with Tums but it is still bad. I hope that means a lot of hair!

Sleeping through the night is non-existent. I can't stay comfortable and usually have to get up to pee a few times. It also doesn't help that Baby Girl is going through some kind of sleep regression and has been waking up at odd hours. I usually just let her lay with me then and she falls back to sleep for a while but it's still so tiring.

I have still been craving sugar carrots and chocolate. I've also fallen in love with Auntie Ann's blue raspberry lemonade. This stuff is awesome! Dairy has been  bit of an issue for me lately so chocolate milk has not be a necessity anymore.

The doctor did tell me that I have a higher risk of preeclampsia since I had it the first time but that everything was looking good so far.  My swelling has been minimal, blood pressure has been good and there has been no protein in my urine.  Now this week my swelling has increased significantly so we will see what he says at my next appointment.

My next appointment isn't until next Thursday and that will be my first cervical check.  After that, I go back every week until this Little Man comes.  I'm wondering if he will talk about induction since my swelling has flared up but we will see.

My baby shower was this past weekend and it was great!  My Mom did a great job organizing and hosting.  I will have a separate post for that even though I didn't take a single picture of myself or of anyone who attended.  Oops.

Staying home has been OK.  Last week it was just me so I got a lot of cleaning and organizing done.  This week, Baby Girl is undoing all of that cleaning and organizing!  Oh well.  I do think I need to set some ground rules with my husband.  Me staying home does not mean that he gets to be messy! 

Our first day home was perfect.  She was an awesome kid and I felt like an awesome Mom.  Our second day home was not so great.  I kept dropping things and spilling things, the dogs were restless and were making big messes, Baby Girl was like a tornado everywhere she went. It was just an off day.  I know I'll have plenty of them!


I still don't think I look that big.  Next Bumpdate in two weeks!

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 ...
