Friday's Letters



Dear Baby Girl, I am loving how much you are talking lately. I am having actual conversations with you now and it's funny what comes out of our mouth sometimes. I think you might be needing some more attention, though, because you become glued to any person who walks into our house lately. Mommy and Daddy will work on that.

Dear Little Man, you really are the sweetest little thing but Mommy would really appreciate it if you could sleep a little longer than 3 hour stretches. Oh and if you could stop peeling through your diapers every 5 minutes, that would be great. I have had to do more laundry this past week than I have in the past month!

Dear Wal-Mart, I think I'm done with you. While the birth announcements I ordered from you are adorable, it took 2 days for me to get them because you closed your photo center early. Then you refused to let my husband pick up the stroller I ordered even though he picked things up for me before. You really suck.

Dear boobs, you're not exactly cooperating the way I had hoped. I'm going to give you one more week to comply before I give up on you. It's just too stressful.

Dear husband, thanks for trying to help out more. I appreciate the time you are spending with Baby Girl and I know she loves it too.

Dear Wal-Mart checkout girl, you are very lucky that I had my daughter with me and that I was in a good mood yesterday when you asked me what I was having. Somehow I kept my shit together and did not throat punch you. Instead I politely told you that I just had a son. The belly doesn't just disappear over night.

Dear readers, Have a good weekend!

    omg the walmart girl is a nightmare! Good for you for keeping your cool, and go dad for helping out! Hang in there with the lack of rest, I know that is one of the toughest parts with a new baby.

    Oh walmart girl, I would have gone off on her. Child with me or not. :o) It's only 'cute' (I say cute loosely) when a kid asks you.....my cousins daughter said something when I was 2 weeks post baby and I think I said something to her about it taking awhile for baby's home to go away. (she called it babies home)

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 ...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
