Friday's Letters

 
Dear Baby Girl, I finally figured out what was wrong with you!  The vomiting in the middle of the night, the food strike you were on, the lovely liquid diapers you kept giving me.  It only took me four days to realize that you have another molar popping through.  Mom fail.  Sorry baby girl.  At least you're feeling better now.  I can tell because the pantry is starting to empty out.
 
Dear Little Man, I have to tell you that this new screaming thing you are doing is pretty dam cute.  You just yell and yell and yell for no reason other than to hear yourself.  It's pretty funny.  I'm also loving how much you are rolling all over the place.  Play mat is pretty much obsolete because you never stay on it.  It's fun to try and guess where you'll be when I come back into the room. 

Dear husband, that trip you took to Chicago this week?  Yea let's not do that again.  I'm used to you not being home (crazy work schedule, snow removal, etc) but those two days really sucked.  Stuck at home with a sick kid and not being able to sleep a wink kicked my ass. 

Dear Spring, I'm glad you're here!  I'm really looking forward to the warmer weather so I can get the kids outside for walks and park dates.  I think we can all use a little more sunshine around these parts and I know the kids are going to appreciate getting out of the house.

Dear wood stove, I like you...I really do.  But I'm glad we won't be using you much anymore.  You leave a layer of dust/ash on everything in our house and you have caused multiple carpet burns.  It's soon time to retire you.  We'll see you again in the Fall.
 
Dear readers, Have a good weekend!

    I think Taylor is getting a molar too! Her stools have been quite soft and she is constantly sticking her hands in her mouth. She let me look around in there the other night and I think I saw one coming in. Poor girlies!

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 ...
