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.

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...

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 ...

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 ...
