So What Wednesday

So What Wednesday
This week, I'm saying so what if...
  • I haven't blogged since last Wednesday mostly because I was off work from Thursday to Sunday.  This kind of scares me.  I'll save that for another post.
  • I'm done working on Friday!
  • I was thinking about canceling my baby shower because no one responded.  Of course we had last minute respondents so it's on but it's so annoying.
  • I burned my arm over the weekend on the oven.  It hurt like hell.
  • I finally bought Ashlyn a baby doll and stroller set only to realize, once we got home and had it out of the box, that it was actually a double stroller with two baby dolls.  Now I want to return it because I don't want the double baby doll stroller adding to the toy clutter.  And does she really need two dolls?
  • I found knock off thin mints and caramel delights at our grocery store.  And they were on sale.  Why have I never seen these before?!
  • We took Baby Girl to a carnival but didn't take her on any rides.  Instead, she played some games, won some prizes, ate some food and danced her little butt off for a band that was playing.  She had fun.
  • My new favorite drink is blue raspberry lemonade from Auntie Ann's. 
  • Little Man is laying so low that it feels like he might actually fall out.  Every time he moves I think I'm going to piss my pants.  Kid needs to relax.
  • I bought Baby Girl new pacifiers, different from the pacifiers she is used to, in hopes that she would get annoyed with them and stop using them.  I've only got 4.5 more months to break the habit!
  • My husband and I are trying to figure out what we are going to call the Little Man when he gets here.  I like Duce (yes I spelled it wrong on purpose) but he's not a fan.  He likes Twee, which is Dutch for two but I'm not a big fan.  And don't even get me started on Junior.
  • I am all of the sudden craving pop tarts and have had them every day this week.

    I am with you on the Junior thing!! Oh and no one has replied to Baby girls birthday party either. I am thinkign of teaching them all a lesson and having no food when they all show up (like I know they will) and that will teach them, maybe next time they should RSVP!

    They make knock off girl scout cookies? What store sells these?

    Oh, and I saw your picture with your daughter and her water table with her feet in it. I tried that with my kid and he totally tried to stand up on the table. Oops. Little trouble maker!

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 ...
