I love the ultrasound lady!


The ultrasound lady at my OB's office is my new best friend! Sure, I'm a crazy freak who is planning a homebirth, but I love my ultrasounds. Today we went in for our 2nd ultrasound to recheck a few things that didn't look right last time and suddenly this beautiful picture appeared on the screen! We weren't planning a 3D ultrasound but when the tech saw him in this position she decided it was time for us to get a better pic and so she flipped a switch and this is what we saw! I almost cried!!! I got to see him opening his little eyes and move his little fingers and it was so SWEET!!!

For the record, I always thought these pictures were creepy and never really saw the need to spend $100 for the 3D scan but you know what? When it's your kid you are looking at, it's darn cute!!!!

What I want...


This is what I want right now. When I say right now I really do mean right now. It's a sandwich from Primanti Bros. in Pittsburgh, PA. Hands down the best place to go after a night out and exactly what I'm craving right now in my 20th week of pregnancy. Too bad I'm nearly 800 miles from PA. Sure, it looks weird and gross but it's damn good! I'd do just about anything for one of these right now. If we had a primanti's within 2 hours of here I'd probably go every week. If you can't tell from the picture, I'll tell you what's on these famous sandwiches. You get your choice of meat or egg, or both (I usually get hot italian sausage or pastrami) topped with cheese, tomato, coleslaw and thick french fries fresh out of the fryer. All this between two thick slices of fresh italian bread and there you have it. Heaven on a plate :) Well, that's how I feel about it this week. Next week I'm sure it will be something else, hopefully something containing a decent amount of fresh veggies and a lot less fat!

Yes, I've made many posts about food. I'm realizing that now, but hey I'm pregnant so I have a good excuse, right?

New Recipes to try!

I'm back on Allrecipes.com again, looking for a meal for tonight and on the front page was this Carrot Muffin Recipe. Gotta try that if I have time. Great way to sneak in some carrots. I'll use half whole wheat flour and half the amount of brown sugar will be substituted for Agave nectar. Love that stuff. Hopefully the kids will love it!

No clue what we're having for dinner now!
