Sunday Afternoon Update

What a week! This baby is wearing me out! Actually, I can't put all of the blame on our little one; Matt and I seem to overcommit ourselves until we are booked every night of the week! My dear friend Emily came up from Newnan, GA to hangout this weekend. Emily and I met in the 6th grade at LaGrange Academy. We helped each other survive the roller coaster rides of middle and high school. Emily is currently seeing the world (I'm so jealous!) and interviewing with medical schools. (Emily is the one who got me through chemistry and calculus!) It was great to see her! What a sweet friend!

I hope you enjoyed getting to see a sneak peek of our gummy bear. What a gift ultrasounds are! Just to see that the little guy (or girl) is hanging on tight inside the gestational sac and growing like a bean is very reassuring. And to see the heartbeat was just incredible! It was so fast!

Our offical due date is now August 31st. To answer a few questions that I'm sure most of you have, Yes we are going to find out the gender and NO we are not telling anyone the name! We have to keep something a surprise! We actually were inspired by our friends Ken and Meg to keep the name a surprise. (So you can blame them!) j/k

Matt and I would love any suggestions that you have for a name, so feel free to post them. In fact, we welcome any comments that you'd like to post. We want you to feel a part of this incredible journey that we are on.

Well, I think it's time for a long, Sunday afternoon nap. Does the exhaustion ever end??

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 ...
