— Here’s What I Have to Say —

Yesterday I turned 30. There I said it. No second 29th, 29 and holding or anything like that. Just 30. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Although I am not sure why I thought it would be scary at all. None of my other birthdays have scared me. Chuck sneakily gave...

Today was my 30th birthday and our 6 year anniversary! I can’t believe how fast time is flying by! Chuck started out the day by giving me a present. He found lots of goodies I like (treats, snacks, candy) and also wrapped up a ring inside a bag of peppermint kisses. It was so cute!...

We went to dinner at Katie and Chris’s house tonight. Katie made a really tasty stir fry for dinner. It was fun to see her getting so big! She’s due on December 6th with their third baby, Connor. Katie and I took a couple pictures together since it might be the only time we are...

You'll never guess…this is another Let's Dish meal. This was not what I expected when I made this. I was picturing more of a Hot Pocket of sorts. But I was in for a pleasant, tasty surprise! This is what they looked like when I opened them from the packaging they were in. The turnovers...

Our baby classes started tonight. There are 7 couples there, including us. We did some introductions and learned about the early signs of labor and more about contractions. We also did some breathing and relaxation exercises and learned about some other ways to sleep with various pillows. Next week, we watch our first birthing video...

I saw this the other day and thought it was interesting. I don't know that any of you care about this, but I am posting it anyway. 🙂

We had a nice weekend. I took Friday off (which is something I never do). I did a few things around the house since I am too tired when I get home from work to do anything. Then my brother and his girlfriend came over Friday night to hang out and play pool. We had...

This video is so funny! Watermelon Baby Is it bad that I want to try this with our baby some day?! 🙂

We finally got around to buying tiles for our backsplash. We have been talking about tiling the backsplash since we moved into our hose a year and a half ago. All I had to do was pick out tiles. Of course….I never did. So we went out and picked some that we liked. We haven't...

Surprise, surprise….this is another Let's Dish meal. Here are the bags full of ingredients: First you get some water boiling for the pasta and some oil heating for the sauce. After the oil has heated up, add the ham, peas and onion mix to the oil and cook until the onions are softened. Next, add...

I never got a call back telling me my results from my glucose test. So I called and they told me everything was fine. I think they said my number was 96 and they want it under 130. So she said I was good. Phew! I was told my hemoglobin level was a little low....

We have received a few baby gifts from people. The very first gift were some baby socks. They are so tiny! I can still hardly believe that a little person will fit in those things! The first toy she got was this adorable little elephant/blanket. The first little outfit she got was this one! It's...

We had a birthday dinner for me with Paige and Linda. Linda brought the curtains she made from the material we had picked out the weekend before. She also brought lasagna for dinner. It was so tasty! Paige made some bread and we had DQ cake for dessert. For my birthday, Paige and Linda bought...

This meal is from Let's Dish. I am starting to think that maybe I am becoming quite the spokesperson for them with all the meals I post. 🙂 This meal was really simple to make. First you get the rice cooking. I think the bag of rice had butter, lime zest and onion in it....

I have been taking pictures of my belly when I am getting ready for bed. I have made a little gallery of them if you are interested. There are a few mixed in there that are ones Chuck took. They are much better than the ones I have been taking from my phone. But this...

We read on one of our phone baby apps that if Chuck puts his ear on my belly he might be able to hear baby’s heartbeat. So we tried it. Chuck said he could hear my heartbeat, but not baby’s. A second later, she winds up and kicks him in the ear! He heard a...

I just came across this in the store the other day and I love this stuff! Why do all the good sodas need to be seasonal? (Mmm…Cranberry Sierra Mist – my all time favorite soda!) Here's a link to 7Up's website with more information on this tasty drink! Get some while you can for the...

Linda and I went shopping for some material so she can make some curtains for the baby’s room. Since we painted the room a green color, I wanted to do pink curtains. It’s going to be so cute! I can’t wait to see how they turn out!

The baby's room is coming along nicely. Last weekend, we picked out, purchased and set up the crib and dresser for the baby's room. I love them!!! We will get the crib mattress next week. And we don't have the bedding yet, but I am hoping someone purchased it off our registry! And I took...

Chuck and I went to a gopher hockey game tonight. I hadn’t been to a gopher game in so long! I was glad we went when we did, because after putting on my sweatshirt, my jersey hardly fit! By the end of the game, I had to pull it up because it was too tight...
