So What Wednesday



Life After I Dew


This week, I'm saying So What if...
  • Little Man graduated to the big bottle this week and occasionally inhales 6 ounces. Pretty sure his sister was eating 6 ounces weeks ago already when she was a baby.
  • It was kind of nice to get out of the house without the kids last night even if it was just to go grocery shopping.
  • Even though it was nice, I did miss them and was pretty excited to go back home.
  • Both of my kids have a cold...that I gave them. A newborn....with a cold? Poor little thing is so stuffy he can barely eat sometimes.
  • I'm sad that we won't be able to eat dinner outside anymore. It was always my favorite part of the day but I'd rather not sit out there with my hat, scarf and thermal gloves.
  • We are taking the kids to a Fall festival this weekend and I can't wait! We had already been to like three festivals this time last year. Little Man has thrown me off my game.
  • Little Man has been sleeping some 4-5 hour stretches the past few nights. I am still not convinced that he is going to be a master sleeper like his big sister but hoping for more 5 hour stretches. 
  • My house is only ever clean a day at a time. The second it is clean, the Toddler ransacks everything.
  • I hate how cold our floors are. We have fake hardwoods throughout our house and the floors are always so cold.
  • I am addicted to American Horror Story.
  • Baby Girl had yogurt for breakfast and lunch today.  Since she decided not to take a nap today, I am avoiding a melt down at all costs.  Yogurt helped. 
  • Even though I had this post done this morning, it took me until now to post it so I added that last one.

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 ...
