So What Wednesday





Life After I Dew


This week, I'm saying So What if...
  • As soon as I switched Little Man to the bigger bottle, he stopped drinking as much. 
  • Baby Girl is going through an I'm-not-going-to-listen-to-anything-you-have-to-say phase. Selective hearing seems to be her talent.
  • Little Man slept for 5 hours straight last night. It was glorious.
  • Little Man has thrush and I didn't even see it. How did I not see that? Now the poor little guy has to take this medicine 4 times a day for 10 days and he hates it. (More on that in his 2 month post)
  • The fall festival season is almost over and we haven't been to a single one. We are going to one this Sunday finally.
  • I'm excited to get the renovations on our house started. I've been measuring and planning and sketching all week!
  • I watch re-runs of Grey's every day. They show two episodes every day on Lifetime.
  • I hate the little spider logo that is on the corner of the HGTV channel. It freaks me out every time I see it.
  • I keep eating the M&Ms we got for Baby Girl for when she goes on the potty. That's not helping my diet at all.
  • I am kind of excited that we are car shopping. I love my Beamer and I'm going to be sad to see it go but it will be nice to not have to have more space.
  • Baby Girl and I went pink for October!

    Mackenzie has listening issues on a daily basis.
    Have fun car shopping! We had a VW Passat 2013 loaner car this past weekend and it was a lot of fun. Makes me wish we could have a newer upgraded car. :)

    Boo about thrush. Does he white on his cheeks and lips? Alex has a white tongue, but I've read that is normal with breastfeeding.

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 ...
