Fall!!

I feel like Fall is finally here. The past month or so the weather has been unusually mild, especially for Wisconsin. I am talking about temps in the 80s! However, it is finally cooling off, the leaves are falling faster, and I am reveling in the joy that Autumn brings. It has been a very busy month or so. I have been making and freezing apple pie filling, apple jam, pretty much anything apple. My next step is pumpkin. I already have the pumpkins but have yet to do anything with them. Next week I think I am going to designate Pumpkin Week and go nuts. Fun, fun, fun!!

Vacation + 2 Boys = Insanity

The vacation itself was a lot of fun. We went to the zoo, the aquarium, Mall of America, and the Children's Museum. It was so much fun and almost relaxing. Then we came home, back to reality. We came back Sunday, it is now Thursday and I am still trying to catch up on, well everything. I am finally on top of laundry I think, my house is finally starting to look somewhat normal (aka messy but organized enough to find things) but I am still trying to get the boys back on track. They are struggling with their naps and bedtimes, not to mention actually sleeping at night. Still, it was worth it.

Baby Fit - More Than Morning Sickness

I get a daily e-mail from Baby Fit - something I signed up for early on in Mac's pregnancy. Usually it has a link to an article relating somehow to a healthy pregnancy: what foods to eat or not to eat, how much exercise to get during each trimester, how to have a healthy postpartum period and other handy topics that might interest moms-to-be. I haven't really followed it too much since I gave birth but still read them occasionally. So earlier this week I opened my inbox and was so excited to see an article about HG! I know that there have been things about regular morning sickness and how to deal with that but I haven't seen anything relating to HG until now. The article is not very long but does give a short explanation of what HG is, how to diagnose it and some common treatments. I am posting the link so everyone can read:

More Than Morning Sickness: What Is Hyperemesis Gravidarum?

Congratulations to my friend who just had her HG baby August 14th. Welcome to the world little girl! She was very healthy and very cute :)
