Answer To Some Questions and A Few More Things...

This will be a really random post, I have some questions that I am finally getting answered and some other things.

First of all, I want to let you know that Savannah is kicking quite a bit! I am almost certain that she has changed position, because she is loving to kick/punch my bladder!! Yesterday it was at the point that it was painful, and very uncomfortable!! But all the while I was overjoyed that she is moving even if I almost peed myself a few times!! HA! She likes to move around really early in the morning! Thank you for all your comments on this from my last post!

I wanted to ask for some advice from my readers! This morning while at work I slowly kept feeling more and more nauseous, then a little faint, and dizzy (like everything was starting to spin). I was sure I would either throw up or faint! I put my feet up, but that did nothing. Then I went outside to get some fresh air, that didn't do much either. So I went in the back and laid down on my left side, that helped so much!! When I got up I felt a lot better but still not normal. So I thought maybe I needed to eat something (I had breakfast just about an hour or so before), so it's not like I was even hungry. I thought maybe something sugary would help, sure enough after eating a few bites of yogurt and a small monster cookie I felt a lot better. So my question is, "What caused this?" and "Should I be worried?"

Thank you all so much for the tips on where to shop for Maternity clothes!! I had quite a bit of suggestions! Sadly we do not have a Ross around here (that I know of), it sounds like a great store! Some of you mentioned Target and I don't know why I didn't ever check them out! I went on there website and found almost exactly what I was hoping to find! Here are a few things that I will hopefully be purchasing soon!

A few tanks! Mine are all getting way to stretched!!

In my last weekly update I posted that I am craving French Fries! One reader did ask about that. She thought it was neat how things (cravings, etc) change through out pregnancy. Up till about a month ago I hated any fried foods, then one day I was craving french fries so badly!! That is all I ate for lunch, poor Savannah, what a healthy lunch! NOT! It is so crazy to me how my cravings have changed!

I got quite a few comments on my hair a few posts ago. Yes, my hair is (was) extremely long! I had not done anything to my hair since I found out I was pregnant, and it was long to begin with. A few days ago I finally was able to get my hair done! I did a high lite and a 4 inch trim! Let me tell you I felt like a new person! I loved my really long hair, but it was getting so hard to style. I also really needed a high lite, and I feel so fresh again!

If you have any other questions for me, please let me know! I would be happy to answer them!

I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!!

Cupcakes with Pink Filling!!

On Tuesday after we found out that our little baby is a girl, I started to make my pink filled cupcakes for the big reveal to our families later that day. It worked out so perfectly. We made everyone divide into either the Boy team or the Girl team, then they took a bite at the same time! It was so much fun!

I wanted to show you how I made the cupcakes. I just used a Duncan Hines cake mix.

After they were cool, I cut a small piece out of the center of the cupcake.


Next I put the filling inside. I make my own icing, so I just made vanilla icing then added a few drops of pink food coloring! I lucked out because if it would have been a boy I don't know where I would have found the blue food coloring because Wal Mart did not have blue. Strange.

Then I took the piece that I had cut out of the cupcake and cut off its tip.

After that just put the top back on!

Then lastly frost the tops!

I was really happy with how they turned out, since this is the first time I made filled cupcakes! Just make sure you don't put too much icing on top and inside since it might turn out with too much icing all together.

Perfect Night in Winter Wonderland

We got hit by a major snowstorm yesterday! It started to snow around 1:30, and by evening we had lots of snow and horrible roads! Hubby and I were able to spend a great, relaxing evening!

First of all we were starving. So we decided to splurge and eat really bad!

(hence the coke, and hubby likes Diet. UGH!)

What you are about to see is pure amazement for your taste buds!

Delivery boy! Umm, Excuse me...Delivery Man. Ha!!

We have the best pizza place in our little town, we ate way to much of that large pizza!

I was going to go with hubby to one of his B-Ball games, it was a big game that was going to be on a local TV channel and on the radio, but the game got canceled due to the weather as well as all of his games today. I was so happy to be able to spend a whole weekend with my hubby! I felt very spoiled.

We ate and watched all of our DVR, we were just ready to rent a movie on our On Demand when...

...everything went dark! Our electricity was of for almost 3 hours! I gathered all the candles and flashlights I could find, I was loving every minute! I looked outside and it was so beautiful, so we decided to go outside and hubby did some shoveling by our front door.

The snow was so deep!

And very beautiful!

Today we woke up to tons of snow! I had to work this morning, it took hubby forever to shovel a way out of our driveway. Hubby picked me up from work then we went to eat at our local Mexican Restaurant. Our Favorite place! I took a few pictures on our way there.

Doesn't it look so beautiful!! A winter wonderland!! The roads were completely covered.

This is our main road. Not much traffic today!!

We decided to stop in at hubby's parents house, they had been shoveling lots as well!

I'm guessing some of you got some snow as well! I hope you had a perfect night in your winter wonderland as well!! We sure did!

I feel so blessed to serve a God who can create such beauty.

I cannot wait to show you how my project is going! Update coming soon!

Sisters in the kitchen...need I say more!!

So last night I was "babysitting" my sister, ha like she really needs one!!

When I got home from work, she had found a recipe online for Fettucine Alfrado, so we got right to work making dinner for just the two of us.

Below is the finished product. It turned out so amazing, and it was so easy. I will try to get the recipe on my blog. My sister is quite the little chef, she made the sauce all by herself and it was excellent.

I am one of the messiest cooks ever!! I hate that about me!
Did you see Hummer in the picture above? He is so cute!!

While the Alfredo was being made, we got this brilliant idea to make smoothies for us. We could not find a recipe, so my sister starts pulling out all the fruit in the refrigerator, puts it in the blender with a lot of crushed ice. Then we add some orange juice and yogurt. We have no idea how this is going to taste, we are thinking it can't be too bad because it had lots of fruit in it. This is my sister right before she took the first taste...


...going in for the taste...

...and it was delicious!

We were so impressed with our skills (mostly I was impressed with my sisters, ha)! It's amazing what you can do with a little bit of fruit and ice!

By this time we were really hungry!!

So we enjoyed our delicious meal.

So after we stuffed ourselves we hit the basement to work off that fettucine and hopefully a whole lot more!! I have worked out every day this week. I feel so great. My sister is definitely fun to work out with, she keeps it lively!! I will be posting my weight loss goal and how much I lose on my sidebar soon. Hopefully I can reach my goal very quickly!!

My computer has been so slow recently that I do not even want to get on because it takes forever to do anything!! Hopefully a new computer is in my future! Any tips on speeding up your computer?

By the way this is my 98th post! Only one more post until I reveal my secret project and my very first giveaway!!
