Sweet Baby Girl

Today has been an unbelievable day. Matt, Lucas and I traveled to Vision of Life in Piedmont along with my Mom and Matt's parents to see our baby girl in 4D. I was so excited/nervous this morning that I couldn't stop talking. My mind was racing, but mostly I couldn't stop thinking that I needed confirmation that yes, we are in fact having a little girl. I'm not sure why this concept has been so hard for me to grasp, but I do know that I'm excited that it's true! What an amazing experience. The ultrasound brought our little girl's image to life and radiated her beauty. She appears to have my nose and upper lip along with Matt's full bottom lip. Her chin and round cheeks reminded me of Lucas at birth, but overall she has a strikingly feminine look about her. We had a great time laughing and talking as the ultrasound tech, Ben, poked my belly in an effort to get the best shots. She was folded in half, her feet above her forehead. And apparently she is a snuggler because her face was smushed into me most of the time. (I do hope that she will like to snuggle!)

I'm star-struck, moony-eyed over our (nameless) baby girl. The next 11 weeks are going to feel like forever until I get to hold her and kiss that precious face.

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 ...
