So this morning I woke up to a sore throat and now my nose is running away from me and my eyes won't stop crying...ugh...I feel miserable! The selection for medicine here is not great so I took the list of approved meds while pregnant and keaded to the store. I ended up buying benadryl since it was the only thing available on that list. It had some of my symptoms on the box so I'm hoping this will work. If not, Monday morning I'll be making a phone call.
The past 3 days I've been waking up very dizzy and lightheaded, so now I wonder if whatever I'm getting has had something to do with that or is it just the pregnancy "fun times"?
Have you heard of a hobo? Well it's my favorite grilled treat and hubby finally let me make it as long as I made something to go with it. Well I did, I made a pasta salad and dinner was delish! He loved it too. What's inside it? Well I make mine with bratwurst, sliced potatoes, sliced carrots and sometimes onions (depending on the mood). I season it, then wrap it all in a large piece of tin-foil. Growing up in MN, my family had this whenever the weather permitted grilling weather.
Xander is 20 weeks today! My little man is growing way too fast. I haven't taken pictures yet today, but I am planning since I've been forgetting to get the camera out and snap pictures. I started him on rice cereal 2 days ago...even though his doctor said not to. He was getting lazy on the bottle and trying to chew the nipple instead of sucking it. I've been making his cereal with apple juice and warm water and he loves it! The first day he didn't really know what to do. Yesterday he was a pro. Today he was confused again. I'm giving it to him twice a day at a tablespoon at each feeding. Next week I think I will start to add some vegetables, not sure though since the doctor didn't want me giving him anything except his formula.
So I've been asked how do I have such a happy, quiet and content little boy. It's simple, really. I plan our outings around feeding times. We arrive shortly before feeding time,then feed him and he's happy as can be until nap time. But, when we're out, he typically won't nap more than a half hour, but is held mostly. He loves being held and that in itself will keep him happy. At home I don't hold him as much because I feel he needs to have independent time, so we do have our moments at home. When it gets crazy I just pick him up.
My grandma has been moved to a hospice house in Sioux Falls, SD. Everyone is worried that her time is coming because her liver is failing her. I called her yesterday and she's such a fighter and is in strong spirits for everything she's gone through this last week. I'm going to get some pictures ordered for her to have there to hopefully bring a smile to her face.
For some good news, I figured a way to post comments on friends pages! Just use my iPad! I just wish I knew how to upload photos from here...I don't think it's possible?
Hopefully I'll get some updated pictures up by tomorrow!
Have a great day!
