So What Wednesday

Check out Shannon at Life After I Dew for So What Wednesday.

So what if:

~I haven't really had the motivation to blog lately and I hate that. I used to love to blog and now I struggle to find things to blog about.

~I avoid giving my kids real cups to drink out of most of the time because I can't stand the way they sound when they drink. The slurping drives me nuts.

~I cried when I left the doctor's office Monday because she didn't even check to see if I was dilated. Pregnancy hormones at their finest.

~I started watching Dexter. I've never been that interested in watching it but I finally caved. I'm into the second season and I have said 'I'm bored' on more than one occasion but I'm going to stick with it.

~I'm still not interested in The Walking Dead.

~The Minions movie was released on Netflix and the kids have been watching it non stop. From the previews, I wasn't really sure I wanted them watching it but I've never heard them laugh at a movie the way they do at this one.

~I moved the car seats around this past weekend to get the baby seat in and now Bryan is having a fit because he wants to sit all the way in the back with his sister.

~I visited my cousin and his wife this past weekend to see their new baby. She is the first newborn I've held since Colson. It went better than expected.

~I bought Ashlyn a bathing suit in a girl's size and it was way too big on her. I had to order two other sizes to see what fit her properly and now I have to return the two that don't fit. I'm the worst at returning things.

~My person and I watched Miss You Already before she left for Virginia. It was soooo sad but really good.

What are you saying so what to?

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 ...
