Pumpkin Pie

I love pumpkin pie.  It’s probably my favorite…  I think I love it most because it means fall is here!  So, here is my first pumpkin pie of the season and actually my first fresh pumpkin (no can) pie ever.  Yum!

Week 17

DON’T FORGET TO ENTER THE MY BELLA BABY BIB GIVEAWAY!!!

DSC07089 - Copy 17 1/2 weeks

Baby is growing!!!

I am slightly getting a baby bump and totally loving it!  Weeks are starting to go by faster and now I only have a little over 2 weeks until we find out what we are having!  Oct. 12th is my ultrasound and I am counting down the days.  It will be so fun to buy gender specific things.  We have been getting a ton of bigger items that are pretty gender neutral anyways, like the crib, highchair, co-sleeper, papasan seat, lots and lots of books and we are working on our collection of gDiapers.  (So, if anyone has used gDiapers to sell, let me know…i am in search!)  We’ve been blessed tremendously by family and friends.  This baby is LOVED…and already kind of spoiled.   Now I’m just waiting to feel the baby move.  I feel like any day now I should start feeling little flutters… 

Any guesses on what I am having????

Snack Ideas

I’m starting to feel the need to snack more throughout the day.  Even though I sometimes crave things like chocolate, I would prefer to have healthy, nutritious snacks. 

I love popcorn, fruit, vegetables and the list goes on.  But, I am kind of getting bored of just a plain piece of fruit.

Any ideas to spice up my snack options? 

What did you enjoy as a snack when you were pregnant?

Week 15

DSC05944

I can’t believe I am already 15 weeks along!  It seemed like the weeks were going by so slow, and then all of the sudden:

Hello week 15!

I have felt so good throughout my entire pregnancy.  A little bit of nausea every so often but not enough to make me sick.  I still don’t “feel” pregnant as much as I think a lot of women do.  I’m just barely starting to show.  I’ve had a few people notice and then I realized, okay, maybe I am growing.  I have to say  my skin seems to be breaking out more, so I guess that is different.    (I’ll take that over morning sickness every day though.) 

Overall, I feel great.  I can’t wait to start feeling the baby move.  Maybe in a few weeks?  And I’m even more excited to find out what we are having!  Week 20 I will have an ultrasound.  My mom and a few friends are guessing that we are having a girl, but I have to say I think they may be wrong.  My husband’s family has 34 years of ALL BOYS!!!  We’ll see….  Either way, we are just so excited and have absolutely no preference one way or another.    

My mom had easy pregnancies and 1 hour labors for my 3 siblings and I.  So, hopefully I will take after her.  Maybe…

Cleaning Day…

Today my mom will be coming to stay with us for a few nights.  I’m looking forward to spending quality time with her.  So, today I am cleaning, organizing, decluttering, etc.  And someone decided to join me.

This is Kya:

I keep my cards and envelopes in this little basket.  I was organizing it when she decided to climb in and take a little snooze.  

She looks kind of mean in this picture but really she’s sweet…just very vocal.

See:

And she loves to chew on cardboard boxes and plastic bags.  Is it just my cat that’s weird enough to do that?
