So What Wednesday

Life After I Dew

So what if our new house isn't quite what I expected. It's a little dated and the layout is pretty confusing.

The house is literally three times the size of our old house. Not only do the kids both have their own rooms (chunk was bunking in our room), we have a huge playroom that is pretty independent of the rest of the house. No more toy explosion all over our house. 

And we can actually invite people to our house now because we can fit more than two people in the house without feeling like we are stuffed in the trunk of a car.

Dated schmated. We don't have enough furniture to fill the house because it's so big! It's a good problem to have!

So what if I won't have internet at the new house until Friday.

It's giving me a chance to unplug a bit. I can still get what I need from my phone but I'm sure I'm going way over my data for the month so I will cringe when that bill comes!

    I'm so happy that you have ROOM for your little ones. I feel like every corner I turn, I am in some sort of toddler/baby store. GRRRR.

    What an exciting and fun time for you! I’m glad you have some extra space for the kids to pile up more stuff in, lol. Enjoy those empty areas while you can, it’s only a matter of time till you fill it up! I always forget how much stuff I have until I move and lug it all. It’s times like that I want to throw everything in a dumpster and never look back. Sigh. You get internet tomorrow! Yay!

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 ...
