Almost 6 Months


Yesterday I had my monthly checkup and things are right on schedule. She has a nice strong heartbeat and is moving like crazy these days. I have finally started to gain weight. My total pregnancy weight is a whopping 7 lbs. Still on the low side, but we are at least finally moving in the right direction. Our little one is also running on the small side, but she has a strong heartbeat and all the ultrasounds pics look perfect so I'm not going to worry or complain. She is just taking after her mommy who was less than 6 lbs instead of her daddy who was over 9 lbs. We have started putting things together in her room so we'll post pics on that soon. We get more and more excited for her to come everyday!

Flavor of the Week


While being pregnant I really haven't had any of those make a midnight run to the store or fast food joint, but I do have what Nate has come to call my "Flavor of the Week." We do our grocery shopping about every 2 weeks and almost every time there is something new that I want on that trip that I didn't want before and is different then last trips treat. Usually I try to keep it at least semi healthy since I know that I will at least quadruple the suggested serving size every time. This time it is Chocolate Animal Crackers. I have always love chocolate Teddy Grahams, but cant justify pay $2.75 for a small box so when I saw the BIG BAG of Chocolate Animal Crackers for $1.30 there was no passing that up. So now all I need is a glass of milk and my chocolate animal crackers and I am a happy camper. Nate just laughs at my randomness and says ok honey. We'll just have to wait and see what the next flavor will be.....
