20 Weeks

Well I am now half way through this pregnancy and I have to say that I feel pretty good. My heart burn has started, which I can't stand, but other than that I feel great. At my 16 week checkup I had only gained 5 pounds so I was told that I should add just a little bit more calories in my diet to try to put on some more weight, so at my 20 week appointment I found out that I successfully done that and gained another 9 lbs, so I am up 14 pounds and 20 weeks to go.

We had an ultrasound done when I was 18 weeks and we found out that we are having 2 more girls!!! Yup a household full of girls is what is in store for us, Everything looked good at the ultrasound, the babies were progressing right on target. They did say that there was a little fluid on Baby B's brain, but that it was perfectly normal and it will go away. I am set right now to get my ultrasounds once a month unless needed otherwise, so I will have plenty more updates. I definitely "feel" more pregnant than 20 weeks, by that I mean my joints hurt, my back hurts, walking far is getting hard, etc....but again, overall I feel great!!

Now we are just trying to get things ready for them to come, we haven't even started their nursery yet, time is really flying by with this 2ND pregnancy, more than it did with the 1st!! I will keep the updates coming!!

Weekly Menu

I didn't post a menu last week because both Tyson and I had come down with a horrible cold, and I am also sad to say we are still fighting it!!! However we do feel much better that we did last week, we really didn't stick to a menu because of our cold so we ate really random stuff for dinner, but now that we have gone grocery shopping we are back on track for this week and here it goes:

Sunday: Baby Back Ribs, Potatoes, and Green Beans
Monday: Chicken, noodles and corn
Tuesday: Chili, Baked Potatoes and Mac and Cheese
Wednesday: Pork Chops, rice, mixed veggies
Thursday: French Dips and Tatar Tots
Friday: Taco's
Saturday:Appetizers--wings, taquitos, and little smokies

Weekly Menu March 7th-13th

Here is my weekly menu for this upcoming week!! We went grocery shopping today for the next two weeks plan of a menu. I think it is nice cause it keeps us on track at the grocery store and we don't "splurge" as much which can be more of a waste of money.

Sunday: Chili--making a big batch in the crockpot, and cornbread
Monday: Breaded Chicken, noodles, and green beans
Tuesday: Taco's and Tator Tots
Wednesday: Kielbasa w/ mushrooms and onions, rice, and corn
Thursday: Chili Dogs and fries (leftover chili)
