Menu Monday

Last week's menu

Monday - Hamburgers and hot dogs at the church softball game. So healthy. - Turned out they didn't grill that night so we had to stop at Taco Bell/KFC on the way home from the game.  BLAH!
Tuesday - 20 Minute Skillet Lasagna - It was soooo much better this time!  We used turkey burger to be healthier and it was sooo good!  The only bad thing I have to say is that it always takes me more than 20 minutes.
Wednesday - Red Potatoes and Ham Casserole - I'm still not crazy about this one and I think I'll stop making it.  It's not bad, it's just not my style.
Thursday - Garlic Parmesan Crust Chicken on the grill with Homemade Mac and Cheese - I almost forgot about the mac and cheese until my husband reminded me.  (Yes, he actually looked at the schedule for a change!)  I guess he really like it last time.  Not quite as good this time, though.  Not creamy enough.  The chicken was the best though.
Friday - Out or leftovers - Went out because we didn't really have any leftovers!  Went to Ruby Tuesdays.  It was OK.
Saturday - Out or leftovers - I made steak on the grill and baked potatoes.  Pretty plain and simple and not that great.  I have not mastered grilling steak.
Sunday - Baptism food - we are attending a Baptism and lunch afterwards so we will be stuffing ourselves with all kinds of unhealthy goodness :) - Boy did we ever.  We had pulled pork, beef brisket, mac and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, hot dogs and cupcakes.  It was awesome!

This week's menu

Monday - Whatever we pick up on the way to the softball game.

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...
