Friday's Letters






Dear Baby Girl, I know there have been a lot of changes lately but I really think you're ready for potty training. You like the fact that you get M&Ms whenever you go so that's a start. We are stocked with pulls ups and ready to go so let's rock this!

Dear Little Man, while your sleeping still isn't where I'd like it to be, it is getting better. You are still waking up every 2-3 hours to eat but you are at least going right back to sleep afterwards now. That makes it a little easier on Mommy. Now let's work on some 4-5 hour stretches.

Dear Miley, while I actually like your song Wrecking Ball, the video is stupid and makes absolutely no sense. I get the actual wrecking ball but swinging naked on it? 

Dear sore throat, please go away. I really don't want a cold and I really don't want to get my kids sick because that would just suck.

Dear Grey's, you have been awesome so far. I can wait to see more.

Dear husband, yes I'm going to fight you on the mini van. I don't want one. Until you prove to me that something like an Acadia won't work with three kids, I'm not changing my mind.

Dear The Voice, I am thoroughly enjoying you this season, especially since the original coaches are back. I don't have as many favorites this season though. 


 Dear rain, I used to like you but do you have any idea how hard it is to get two kids in and out of the car when you're drenching us? Go away. Now.

Dear readers, Have a good weekend!

    I've been contemplating really pushing this potty training thing too, but I'm not sure Taylor is on the same page. She got an M&M this weekend for the first time and was obsessed, so maybe we should go that route too!

    I agree with the rain...it has rained the last two 'grocery days' for us and I'm not a fan of rain and a toddler. I can't imagine adding a baby!
    Erin actually talked about a mini van this weekend! His brother has a honda odyssey and he liked it. I'm not a fan of vans or suvs....I don't like being that high. but I was amazed he talked about it.

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 ...

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 ...
