Week 39 Appointment

We had our Week 39 ultrasound and doctor's appointment today and I have finally dialated 1 centimeter & am 50% effaced. Never thought I'd be so happy for a tiny little centimeter! :P

Week 38

Thank you to AJ for the tshirt usage because I can no longer wear my own tshirts!! :P

Week 36 Ultrasound

Hi baby Logan!!

Shower Time!

AJ's coworker's wives threw me a baby shower at 419 West on September 20th. I had never been to 419 before and it is a beautiful restaurant! We were there first thing on a Sunday so it was quiet and we kinda had the place to ourselves. Yummy food and great company! It was perfect because the ladies gave us the last few things that we really need for his arrival! Thank you all!!

(PS - I look HUGE!!!)

Week 36

Week 35 Ultrasound

Look at those cheeks!!

Family Shower

My family had a baby shower for me over Labor Day Weekend in Bluefield. It was so nice to see everyone and we had a lot of fun! Mamaw Shirley made my most favorite cake... her coconut cake. I'm telling you, it's better than anything you can get at a bakery!! A special thank you to my Aunt Patty for putting it together. :)

Week 34

What a difference a couple of weeks makes, right??

Shower Cake

I wanted to make a seperate post for my shower cake!! Susan from http://doughmesstic.blogspot.com/ is an old friend of my brother/family and she was gracious enough to make the cake and drive a hour to Roanoke to deliver it that day! It matched the bedding/theme for the nursery plus she asked me my favorite candy bar the week before (Almond Joy) and it tasted EXACTLY like it! It was soooo amazing! It received so many compliments from the waitstaff and fellow patrons of the restaurant that I even gave out slices. It was SPECTACULAR and if you are in SWVA and need a cake, contact Susan. I know I will!!

Baby Shower!!

On August 15th, Jessica gave me my first baby shower! It was held at Corned Beef & Co in downtown Roanoke and I invited my 8 oldest girlfriends... some of whom I hadn't seen at all since being pregnant! Only 4 and my mom were able to attend but we had a blast! We had dinner, painted onesies (cutest idea!), ate cake, opened presents, and laughed... A LOT. I was feeling very good that night and decided that we should stay out a little late and ended up at 202 Market. We ended up dancing a little bit until I got really hot and really tired. haha It was so much fun though!!

Love you girls!!

CUPCAKES!!

I haven't really had too many cravings while pregnant besides spicy brown mustard and grape pop. I honestly haven't really had a craving for sweets either EXCEPT for cupcakes! Not cake, cupcakes. There is somehow a difference to me.

Bubblecake Bake Shop ()recently opened in Roanoke and it has really intensified my want/need for cupcakes. Even though I have only had the chance to eat a Bubblecake once so far, the owner printed a recipe for her Key Lime Cupcakes in the paper. We have all of the ingredients really to go except for lime extract. We have looked EVERYWHERE for it and no where locally sells it. :( I wanted to share the recipe though just in case someone reading has the extract and can make these. They sound DELISH!!! I will definitely update once we make them but for now.....

Kep Lime Cupcakes

For the cake:
1 (18 oz.) box lemon cake mix
1 box instant lemon pudding mix
1 (12 oz.) can lemon-lime soda (such as Mountain Dew)
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/8 tsp. lime extract

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two standard-sized muffin tins with paper liners.
2. In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all of the above ingredients and process for 30-45 seconds. Turn off mixer and scrape down bowl. Process until smooth, an additional 30 seconds or so.
3. Portion batter evenly into baking cups, approximately 2/3 full.
4. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one cupcake emerges clean. Cool completely before icing.

While cupcakes are baking, prepare the icing:
1 container prepared vanilla frosting
1/2 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. nonalcoholic natural lemon flavoring
1/16 tsp. lime extract
1 dab of leaf green gel food coloring (available at craft stores)
1 dab of lemon yellow gel food coloring

1. Combine all ingredients until streak-free and smooth, using either the whisk attachment on your mixer or whisking by hand.
2. Ice each cupcake and garnish, if desired, with green sprinkles and a cocktail umbrella.

Baby Registeries

And because I've had many inquiries... we are registered at Target and Babies R Us! Our Target is not the best so we are mostly at BRU but the bedding and room decor goodies are at Target because they were cheaper!

Week 28 Picture

Definitely grew between weeks 24 and 28!! I am starting to feel a little huge... little did I know that my belly would only get bigger & bigger!

27 Weeks

Still playing catch up on posts but this sonogram was from our appointment at 27 weeks and it is my FAVORITE so far. Such a teeny foot!!

Nursery Decor!

I know, I know... Life has gotten in the way and I haven't updated in 12 weeks! In the next few days, I'll try and post a few updates. :)

The picture above is the baby's room. Our theme/bedding is Jungle Babies by NoJo. I knew I wanted animals and these were just too cute! After going back & forth between colors for a week, the walls were painted a pumpkin/cantaloupe color to match the color in the border and the window valances. The border went up next and is all around the room. There is NO WAY AJ & I would have had the time to do all of this so my mom has been a lifesaver! She painted the walls, the trim, her & my dad hung the border, she hung the curtain rods & valences, hung the blinds, bought the rug.... I mean, I could go on & on! As you can see from the picture, it is absolutely PERFECT!

AJ & I are going to go watch a movie but I will post more pictures this week!! :)

24 Week Update

24 weeks down, 16 to go! 16?? Whoa... that's not too far away!

Pregnancy has been good so far! He's a healthy little boy and I thankfully haven't had any issues besides my sinuses acting up, fatigue, and back pain. But hey if I can slide by with just those 3 things, I'm pretty lucky compared to some!

He's a squirmy little guy.. he moves around some in the morning but really starts going around 2pm and continues until about 5pm. He settles down and then starts back up around 7-8pm. (He's actually kicking right now!) Even though they are getting a little stronger, AJ hasn't been able to feel him yet but I have a feeling that will soon change.

Still haven't picked a name... we have one in mind that we've agreed on but haven't made that commitment yet. Naming someone is a huge deal! He's going to have this name... well... forever, ya know?

Going to the beach next weekend for a week for the annual family trip with 50 of my closest family members so we are very excited for that. You think buying a swimsuit is hard when you have put on a few extra pounds over the winter? Try gaining a BABY in your belly and looking for one! I will never complain again....

It's a......

BOY!!!!

RUMBLE RUMBLE

We were awoken this morning at 4:08 by a 2.6 EARTHQUAKE!!! Here! In Roanoke, VA! It was WILD!

The house literally shook for 3-4 seconds... the windows rattled, the furniture shook, it was loud. And then it stopped. We had no clue what happened... did a tree fall? Did one of the hospital's helicopters crash into the yard? Was there a train crash in the railyard not too far away? Did our A/C unit just explode? ;) We got out of bed and heard my parents in the kitchen. They had no clue what happened so we went outside to see if we could see anything... smoke, fire, hear police/ambulance/fire.... nothing. We thought it was an earthquake but those aren't supposed to happen around here so we turned on the TV to the local stations to see what was going on. Nothing! My dad got on USGS.com and sure enough around 4:40, a listing of a 2.6 earthquake in the Cave Spring area of Roanoke occured at 4:08. The center was about 2 miles away from the house so that is why we felt it harder than others talking about it on Facebook this morning.

As a neurotic child, my parents always told me that tornados & earthquakes couldn't happen in SW Virginia. LIARS!! haha

This was very simple and oh-so-tasty! Cinco de Mayo has always been a favorite for me as it is also my dad's birthday! We decided not to go out this year so I found this recipe in Kraft Foods and wanted to try it out.

We tore tortillas up and put them in the bottom of our bowls and I added a white cheese sauce that we had in the fridge on top. We had enough for leftovers and I am already craving them for dinner tonight!!

Baby Update

I am 17 weeks along today!

We had a doctor's appointment last Tuesday and finally met our doctor who should be delivering the baby. She is very nice and I liked her. She answered all of my questions and did not make me feel stupid so that always good. :) Didn't get an ultrasound (booo) but we did get to hear the baby's heartbeat!! A very strong 150 beats a minutes... (http://www.babygenderprediction.com/babys-heart-rate.html still says we're having a girl!)

We go back on May 27th for the glucose test (yuck) and the ultrasound to find out the sex!!! I am beyond excited about that! I am, and have been, leaning towards one side the entire pregnancy but you never know! It is a 50/50 chance of either sex.

Pregnancy is still pretty uneventful.. never had morning sickness so that was great. Still tired and experiencing sinus headaches so that kinda stinks but it could be worse. The newest issue is this whole crying thing.. hormones are raging and I have cried at least twice a day since Tuesday. AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I'M CRYING!!! Friday night was the worse because I was sobbing after watching my DVRed Private Practice and ran into the bedroom where AJ was sleeping. My racket woke him up and he was such the great husband and asked what was wrong. I couldn't spit it out without wanting to cry harder and finally realized how funny it was. I then proceeded to laugh hysterically & sob at the same time. Oh my....

Thank god I have a tolerant husband! I love you AJ!

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well. Makes enough for Baked French Toast Casserole

I made this for a breakfast potluck at work the Monday after Easter and it was well received! It was very tasty and very easy. It was sweet enough for me that I didn't need to use the maple syrup.

FYI: The 19 worst drive-thru foods in America

The 19 worst drive-thru foods in America

Time and money are two things Americans can’t afford to waste. So it’s not surprising (though slightly disappointing) that the drive-thru is considered one of the great inventions of all time. There’s even a study to prove it. In 2005 and 2006, researchers asked 600 adults and teens why they eat so much fast food. Three of the top four responses were it’s quick, easy, and affordable. Taste came in third, with only 69 percent of respondents listing flavor as a factor in their fast-food love.

Drive-thru foods may be convenient and easy on the wallet, but they’re loaded with unhealthy fats, added sugars, carbohydrates, and sodium. Translation: They’re no bargain when it comes to your health. But jam-packed schedules and a dismal economy make the occasional drive-thru meal a part of life. That’s why Eat This, Not That! studied the open-air menu boards and compiled a list of the worst items out there, plus better alternatives. Avoid these dietary land mines and save more than a few minutes and a couple bucks—how does up to 20 pounds in a year sound?

White Chicken Chili

A variation of this recipe won 1st place in the chili cook off at work. It also won Fan Favorite! Make it and you will understand why....

Ingredients
6 boneless chicken breasts
3 can Great Northern Beans
2 16oz jars of Medium Picante Sauce (Pace)
1 lb monterey jack cheese, cubed
1 lb pepper jack cheese, cubed
Chili powder

Directions
Place chicken breasts in Crock Pot and add just enough water to cover the chicken).
Once chicken is cooked, shred chicken in broth (water).
Add beans and picante sauce.
Add cheeses.
Simmer until cheese has melted, stirring occasionally.
Add chili powder to taste.

---

We made this on Sunday and it was sooooooo good! The only things we will do differently next time is to thaw the chicken before it is put in the crockpot. Once it thawed, we ended up having too much broth. We also did not need to add the chili powder because it was spicy enough for me! Will definitely be making this again & again.. especially football season!

12 weeks, 2 days!!

And I'm in love.

Happy Anniversary to Our Home!

I almost forgot! It's our home's anniversary this weekend!

We moved into our house 1 year ago this weekend. This time last year, we weren't too sure that we were going to be able to close on it because the state of the economy was so bad and our mortgage company went belly up 2 days before we were to close!!! Luckily, our wonderful mortgage broker took care of us and here we are a year later, living the dream.

Icky

The past week has been very interesting...

I thought I was starting with morning sickness. My mom was so sick when she was pregnant with me that she had to drop school for the semester so I am nervous that it will be bad for me since supposedly if your mother had morning sickness, so will you. It all started last Thursday with me feeling "icky", as I like to say. I wasn't naseated to the point where I wanted to throw up, I just didn't feel very well at all. It continued all through the weekend with Sunday being the worse day. I stayed in bed until 3pm because I was so tired and felt so bad. I got up and was still exhausted but when I would lay down, it would feel sick! I couldn't win!!! I felt like a zombie walking around the house. (God bless AJ for putting up with me!)

I felt like this until I woke up on Thursday and BAM! I felt great! I also felt great today so I think I may have just been sick. I have started eating more often and less at a time so that is keeping something on my stomach so that's good. I don't know.. I can only cross my fingers and hope that I'm lucky and do not get morning sickness. I cannot handle being sick on a normal day, much less when I'm pregnant! haha

We're Pregnant!!!!

As of today, I am 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant!!! Due date is set at October 11, 2009 so clear your calendars.. it's going to be a fun 7 months!! We are so lucky that we were able to get pregnant so quickly. Our families & friends are ecstatic for us and our baby is going to be so loved. We are truly blessed!

Cheese Lovers 5 Cheese Mac and Cheese

This recipe is from Ultimate Recipe Showdown: Comfort Food on The Food Network!

Cheese Lovers 5 Cheese Mac and Cheese

Ingredients
Kosher salt
1 (16-ounce) package macaroni (cellentani or other curly noodle)
1/4 pound bacon, diced
1 medium onion, diced
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more to butter baking dish
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups grated Fontina
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
3/4 cup grated Gruyere
3/4 cup grated white Cheddar
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
1/4 cup bread crumbs

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and butter a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain.
In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, saute the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Saute the onion in the bacon drippings until soft. Add the 5 tablespoons butter to the onion mixture and melt the butter stirring with a wooden spoon.
Using a whisk, add the flour, and stir constantly until well mixed with the fat making a roux. Whisk in the mustard. Gradually add the milk and cream whisking constantly.
Add the thyme, bay leaf, and salt. Let come to a simmer and stir frequently for 15 minutes.
Strain the hot milk mixture into a metal bowl and discard the solids. Working quickly, mix in 1 cup fontina, blue cheese, 1/2 cup Gruyere, 1/2 cup white Cheddar, 1/2 cup Parmesan, the reserved bacon, and parsley. Continue to stir until all cheese is melted.
Add the cooked noodles to the cheese mixture to coat. Add the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. Mix the remaining cheese and bread crumbs together and sprinkle on top of the noodles. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown. Remove from oven when done and rest for 5 minutes.

-----

So this was a very interesting experience... I could not find Gruyere or Fontina cheese at Kroger so I ended up just getting a bunch of different cheeses. haha I also did not have heavy cream OR whole milk so I used evaporated milk and 2%. I didn't realize that this would be an issue until I was mixing the milk in and it ended up making GRAVY!! hahaha So I could not strain the mixture and ended up just mixing it all together. It was a pretty intense recipe (for me) and it was tasty but I think I could find something else easier.

I found this recipe in the Southern Living January 2009 magazine while at the doctor's office this morning and made it tonight as AJ & I are trying to eat more healthy. I substituted almonds for peanuts (that's what I had) and used un-sweetened coconut instead of sweetened but it came out great! Very tasty! We are not big fans of yogurt so we do not have any in our fridge but this may make me try some. :)

Welcome 2009!

AJ & I bought a Wii back in November on a whim and have loved playing tennis, bowling, etc. We had been looking around for a Wii Fit for a while but with the holidays, they were hard to find. I finally found one on Ebay and we LOVE it!

AJ & I have both gained significant weight since the college days and are hoping that this will help us with taking some (most) of it back off. I guess you could say it is our New Years Resolution to get in shape. I am hesitant in saying "New Years Resolution" because I've only ever kept up with a resolution and that was in 2007 when I wanted to read 50 books in 1 year (I exceeded that!). Hopefully we will stick with this...

If you are reading this, please help us stay accountable!! We don't like being fat!!
