So What Wednesday


Life After I Dew


This week, I'm saying So What if...
  • I'm pretty sure my son hates me.  I mean, why else would he sleep all day long and stay awake all night long?  The poor kid is so tired at night, I can see it in his eyes and hear it in his cry but he just refuses to go to sleep.  I need to get this straightened out before I go insane.
  • I wanted to sleep so badly last night that I actually let the little guy sleep in his swing.  It's his favorite place to sleep.  As you can tell, that strategy did not pay off.
  • I hate you ladies who lose the belly within two weeks of giving birth.  Ok, I don't hate you, but I am insanely jealous of you.  Especially since I could still pass for six months pregnant.
  • I am addicted to the show Love It or List It.  It's always on when I'm up all night hoping that the kid will drift off to sleep at some point.
  • I didn't love the new Michael J Fox show. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
  • I'm frustrated that the breastfeeding still isn't going well.  It's been almost six weeks...why am I not seeing any improvement?!
  • I really want to re-design my blog but I just don't have the time.  I'm lucky I'm even making this post!
  • We have a very busy weekend planned and it literally makes me want to cry.  All I want to do is sleep but we won't be home for most of the weekend.
  • My husband and I are trying to decide what we want to do with our house situation.  We might be starting renovations very soon.
  • I check Instagram like every five minutes for more pictures of squishy little babies since I follow a ton of people with new squishy little babies.
  • I have some errands to run today but I dread taking both kids because I'm just too tired.  I might be calling my Grandmother to babysit for me.  (Is it ok to call her to watch the kids just so I can take a nap?)

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 ...
