Posting is off

Sorry, for the way that posted guys...I can't seem to fix it without redoing the whole post and ummmm that isn't going to happen.

4 Weeks Pregnant

So, other than the fact I knew when to test from keeping track, I don't feel pregnant at all. I tested at 10 days past ovulation and got big fat positives. That was on Thursday. So, I'm planning on taking a weekly belly shot on Saturdays nights in the same shirt and pants to watch how my belly grows. I swear what you see is just leftover Ethan fat, but I'm going to post it anyway. And that mirror looks filthy in the pics and I swear it doesn't appear that way in real life. I just cleaned it after taking the pictures because I was a bit embarresed by how they looked. So, yay, for the first of many weekly photo sessions and weekly updates.

Big News

So, in the last post I said we were officially trying to have a baby. Well we aren't. We are officially having a baby. Due date November 14th. I'm trying to not get excited because what has happened in the past. But I can't stop thinking about it or planning for it, etc. I'm thrilled and so excited. Anyway, I'm going to use the blog to help chronicle my pregancy. It may turn into a pregnacy blog....

It's late, but I'm due

So, I'm falling asleep at the computer already, but I haven't posted in I think 2 days. The only thing on my mind is that we are officially trying to conceive baby number 2. I haven't charted this cycle, but will start next month. We aren't using protection and we are getting lots of practice(wink wink). I'm so excited that this could happen soon that I can't think of anything else. I suck, but I have baby fever and don't want the kiddos to be too far apart in age. They will already be at least 2 1/2 years difference in thier age and that is if it happens right away.

I'm terrified of losing another baby, but it's worth it to risk it, right?

The life I wanted isn't the life I want

So on Valentines Day, my husband and I went out to the bar with some friends. We had a few drinks and wound up dancing a two-step together. I was consumed with him, but glanced at a man who was sitting by the dance floor. I could have swore it was my ex fiance. I looked twice and he was looking straight at us. I was a bit tipsy, but I am really sure it was him. I held on tighter and enjoyed an intimate dance with my husband. I have come to realize in the days since that I am completely in love with my husband! I always said that if my ex was to show up and want me back, I'd go. I would take my baby and I would go, but I realize now that it isn't the truth anymore. I no longer long for the life I could have had with him. I instead am very happy in my own life. My man treats me with respect, and laughs with me, and does things for me, and wants to please me and for me to be happy. I want the same things for him. We want to make each other happy and our son. I can not imagine being with anyone else.

No Pork Chop for me...

So, we started running lunchh specials at the restaurant, something that we don't normally have on the menu. Today's special was a grilled pork chop and two side orders. I missed pork chops last week and was so thrilled about eating one for lunch. I was so under-impressed. It was tough, dry, and didn't have much seasoning. I won't be ordering that again...

Lemon Chicken, it's whats for dinner.

Lemon Chicken

I found this recipe and am have been meaning to try it for a while... I have never made a chicken with Lemon Pepper or Lemon juice or lemon anything because I don't like lemon in my tea or water or anything...but.......

I have to work tonight, so I tried to prepare as much as I could, so all Jeff has to do is pop it in the oven. It is a breaded baked chicken, so I am hoping that it turns out okay since I have already breaded it and set it in the fridge.....

Simple and easy...

Ingredients
~3 tablespoons melted butter
~2 tablespoons lemon juice
~1 garlic clove, minced (I used 1 teaspoon minced refrigerated garlic since I didn't have any fresh)
~1/2 teaspoon salt
~1/4 teaspoon peppeer
~1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used unseasoned and added lemon pepper, and season salt and onion powder)
~4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (Because I did Au Gratin potatos with the chicken, I had Jeff put it in for 375 because the potatos called for a hotter oven.)
Mix butter, lemon juice, garliv, salt and pepper in one bowl . In another put bread crumb mixture.
Submerge chicken pieces in butter mixture and then cover with bread crumb mixture. Put in greased 9X13 glass baking dish.
Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes. (Even though I had the oven hotter than asked, I still left it in for the whole 30 minutes and it got cooked thouroughly but not overly......

Oh my gosh...I started this post before I went to work, and when I got home tonight, the apartment smelled so yummy... Dinner was just finishing up and we sat down to a yummy dinner of baked lemon chicken, Au Gratin potatos and Broccoli, and crescent rolls.... The Chicken was delish. It was so moist, that I could cut it with a fork. I plan on adding this to the rotation of dinners. It was really easy and I loved it and Jeff was pleased, and Ethan ate lots of chicken.
