Seriously?

I read the forums on the What to Expect app, and I am just mindblown by some of the people on there.  Seriously. 

 

Co-sleeping?  WTF, this is ridiculous.

EDITED.... as an addition to co-sleeping being ridiculous, the latest information from the CDC shows that it increases the risk of SIDS. See the article HERE . 

 

"Attachment Parenting"?  also stupid

 

Glad that this is my kid, and I get to raise it how I want!  Good for everyone else who does those things that I find weird.  But Hell No, that is not happening in my house.

 

I never write on those forums, since I don't care to get into long drawn-out conversations with people I don't know.  But still, I read these things, and think, wow, you are posting and asking for advice on how to get your 11 year old kid to sleep in their own bed.....maybe you should have tried that 11 years ago....

 

 

-----Rant over -----

Halloween Decoration

I made awesome broom/wreath for Halloween.

 

The spiders are glittery :)

 



15 week bump

Whoa, what the heck happened?  I have missed the past 3 weeks of taking pictures.  We got busy.  Well, looks like there is starting to be some belly showing here!  Check this out!

 

 

How far along? 15 Weeks, 1 Day

Total weight gain/loss: Plus 1.5 pounds 

Maternity clothes? nope, regular clothes only.  However, I did go buy some of those belly band things at Target to go over your jeans/pants. 

Stretch marks? No

Exercise this week?  Zumba classes, did a 5K last weekend, and still doing the stairs/walking at lunches

Sleep: Much better

Best moment this week: Well, I guess the last best moment was my ultrasound where it looked like a baby.  That was last week though. 

Have you told family and friends: Yes, everyone knows.  Plus my boss put it on the powerpoint at a huge work meeting, so he helped spread the word to everyone I hadn't told.   

Miss Anything? Wine!  Had home cooked Italian at my neighbors house and a glass would have been nice.   

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: Nope, still not yet.   

Anything making you queasy or sick: I gag on my toothbrush now.  I think the mint is grossing me out.   

Have you started to show yet: Yep, looks like it.  The baby has moved up for sure and stomach is getting hard. 

Gender prediction: Girl.  

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Weekly Wisdom: Wear dresses, they're cute and comfy.   

Looking forward to: Next week's appointment where we hear the heartbeat again. 



5K race day!

I did a 5K with some friends this morning - the Run or Dye one.  Packets of color thrown on you by everyone.  It was a fun and exercise-filled way to start off a Saturday morning with friends. 

 



14 week ultrasound and appointment

This time it looks like a baby.  It kept jumping around.  The ultrasound tech asked me if I wanted to know what it was, and I said no.  When he went to check out what the gender was, I put my hands over my eyes so I wouldn't peek either.  The doctor also said I am all good to go!

 

This was in the middle of one of the jumps it did (I couldn't feel it moving though, just could see it)

My younger brother sent this along after I sent him the picture.....HAHAHAHAHA
