Our Sweet Baby Girl!

After being without the internet in our new home, we finally are online! Many of you have already heard, but in case you're still eagerly waiting, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Our little girl is named Ava Grace Alexander! She has captured our hearts and we are totally smitten!

We got home from the hospital on Tuesday around lunchtime. It has been an exhausting, wonderful, blissful, and blurry week so far. Ava is dainty, feminine, fiesty when hungry, sleepy, a great breastfeeder, and beautiful! Her skin is perfect (seriously, people can't commenting on her complection), her head is perfectly round, and she has no jaundice. Lucas is curious and tenderhearted with Ava. He asks to hold her a couple times a day and gives her kisses.

I want so much to write more about our week, but frankly my eyelids are drooping and it's almost time to feed Ava again.

Please continue to pray for us; those of you with babies know how hard this time is. Also, please pray for me and my body as I am recovering from the delivery and adjusting to breastfeeding.

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 ...
