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!

  3. 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)

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass

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
