Gender Prediction...

So, my good friend Tara suggested that I give some answers to the gender predictions and then put a poll on my blog. So....here they are!! I can't wait to see what everyone thinks we are having. =) Here we go!!! Cravings: Meat (especially at the beginning, but I can still tell if Idon't eat it for a day or two I NEED it.) Potatoes, this is still a craving of mine, I eat potatoes with everything. Aversions: Desserts. Yuck. They still sound bad to me. I usually love desserts but I have not wanted them throughout the entire pregnancy. I will still eat candy as you have seen on my surveys, I still crave candies like Spree, sweet tarts and those sorts of sweets. I think this means BOY ! Heart rate: It has varied between 140's-160's since 12 weeks. When we went in for our 20 week ultrasound the tech said that it was 142 and that was not helpful for us to know the gender. lol. For the most part it has been higher than that. I think this one means GIRL ! Shap

8 Months Old - 8/17/11

I cannot believe I have not written in a whole month!! It has been a crazy month around here. Thomas and I have been to Alaska and back! He has changed so much in the past month it is crazy. I will catch everyone up on life so soon. For now, here is Thomas' 8 Month post! Stats: I tried weighing Thomas with my weight on the scale and then picking him up. If it is accurate, he is about 21lbs. I am thinking that might be a little heavy but not unreasonable since he was 19lbs at his 6 month appointment. Eating/Sleeping: Thomas has always been a good eater form the very beginning but in the last month he has started eating "puffs", "Mum-Mums", and cheese along with his baby food. I have been making his baby food and for the most part I make all of it. I have figured out it is not that hard even to make enough just for the week. I will decided which fruit and veggie he will have for the week and I buy them when I buy mine and Derek's food for the

My Favorite Lunch EVER!

I am a salad girl! Even in elementary school Mom would pack my lunch and I would tell her to please pack me a salad I would NOT eat sandwiches. I HATED Subway and sandwiches. Now, I am pretty fond of them but salads are still the BEST on my list! With all that said, Here is a little recipe (recipe meaning a little of this and a little of that- I dont have exact measurements for anything) for my favorite one of all time! ~Romaine Heart chopped (Super easy to chop up-this is why I spend more for them) ~Dried cranberries (I like buying them in the individual 100 calorie packs because I only use half a pack and they stay fresher longer) ~Walnuts - Just crush a few and sprinkle them on top (basically until it looks pretty) ~Feta Cheese - just a little sprinkle to add a little something to the salad. ~Rasperry Walnut Vinagrette Dressing (I think it is Ken's Brand) Amazing salad and it is under about 300-400 calories and it keeps me full until dinner! :) I am sure I am not the first t
