So What Wednesday

Life After I Dew


This week, I'm saying So What if...
  • Most days I don't get to eat breakfast until lunch time  Both kids always manage to wake up and want to eat at the same time.
  • We took both kids for their check ups on Monday.  I thought Ashlyn was going to get some shots but she didn't.  So thankful for that.  Little Guy was a champ for his.
  • I'm so glad we got Baby Girl a kitchen for her birthday but I forgot about how much fake food I would have to eat and how much fake tea I would have to drink.
  • Little Man is sleeping in his crib now and it makes me very happy.  We still don't have a great sleeping pattern down but at least he is in the crib.
  • I have a feeling we are going to need a bigger house to just accommodate all the toys my mom and grandmother bought baby girl for Christmas.
  • My wonderful German POS vehicle has basically decided to take a shit.  We have to have it towed to the mechanic and I am vehicle-less.
  • I am having a sever case of cabin fever due to the previous item on the list.
  • I've kind of lost track of my diet and exercise plan (Thanksgiving, Grandmother's death, Christmas cookies) but have somehow managed to not gain weight.  Go me.
  • We are spending a weekend in Maryland with friends soon and I can't wait. 
  • Christmas is seven days away and I haven't wrapped a single present. 
  • I am so ridiculously happy that Tessanne won The Voice!  I had her picked to win from the beginning!

    Visiting from SWW - I totally know how you feel about the breakfast thing. I started making Carnation instant breakfast drinks because otherwise I wouldn't eat until naptime at like 1pm and I would be STARVING lol. I'm also super happy that Tessanne won too.

    ha! I haven't wrapped anything yet either! I so feel you on the fake eating too! I was so excited she finally bad food for her kitchen - I had no idea it would mean constant naming and eating of said food! :)

    We're having car trouble too and it's the worst! Luckily my car is American and my husband is a mechanic but still. My heart hurts for you having to have a German car! Hahaha, ok it's not as bad a Swedish one! ;)

    LOL @ all the fake tea and food you have to eat and drink. That reminds me of my little niece, she is always making me pretend to do something. Creative girls. Hooray for not keeping track and not gaining weight! That's an ideal correlation.

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 ...
