Happy Days

So I was reading online today about the baby's development. Here's what I found. Our baby has a profile now, complete with a little chin and nose. Tiny fingernails and toenails are forming. The baby's first urine is being made and eliminated into the amniotic sac. Now I'm sure that's something many of you hadn't thought about before!

Recently it seems like everyone is telling me that I'm glowing. So sweet. I've been claiming that it is the nauesa, but a website that I was reading today said that there is actually a phyisological reason why many women seem to have smoother, more radiant skin during pregnancy. Apparently my increased blood volume combined with the pregnancy hormone, hCG, makes me glow. Too bad manufactorers can't bottle and sell that in a moisturizer!

Only 10 more days left in my first trimester! Yeah! I can't believe how time has passed by so quickly. I am so anxious to hold our precious baby in my arms! I can't wait to meet him or her. Today, Matt and I had the opportunity to share the story of our miracle baby for a Newspring video. The video will probably be used for future Financial Peace classes, but they wanted us to also share about the challenges and blessings we've faced with the possibility of using it for a different sermon. Pretty cool, huh? So, here's a funny story from our video shoot today. Matt was talking about how we had thought that it would take us a while to get pregnant, but "one month after we started trying, Sara was 'late'....." I quickly interuppted him with a "you can't say that in front of 4,000 people!" Everybody in the room started cracking up. Hopefully that comment won't make it to the video cause I think I would just die of embarrassment.

as for the comment making it to video... I happen to have some "influence" in that area, if you're interested.

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
