WEIRD CRAVING ALERT

I desperately need a

A. strawberry/raspberry/rhubarb cream cheese streusel, with chocolate chips, and caramel drizzle,

B. Shrimp

separately of course!

 and maybe possibly, definitely a desert from Heine bro's coffee. They have the best stuff ever!
and a salted caramel milkshake from steak and shake.

I made soup for dinner, broccoli cheese which is my favorite. but I got sick when I sniffed it, and now all I think i can safely eat without vomiting are listed above.

Nesquick is a no-no!

I was terrified when I went to purchase Nesquick last week, in hopes of finding strawberry and banana flavors for milk. (For some reason I do not like chocolate very much right now which goes against my personality.) They didn't even have banana but the strawberry mix is ungodly unhealthy.
NO I am not one of those skinny pretty perfect ladies who we all want to be when pregnant. I am medium/ normal with a thyroid problem and I like my sweets, and my body. I just want to keep it! So yes I had a fit when I saw how much sugar and how many carbs are in nesquick. MAKE YOUR OWN!!! Its so much healthier!

recipe:


  • one vial of banana extract, or immitation banana (or whatever flavor you want like vanilla, strawberry, or rhubarb if you are having a craving lol)
  • splenda  (approved by the FDA for pregnant women)
  • a half gallon of milk


And shake up the low carb magic!!

A small glass of this is great for so many reasons!

A. heartburn
B. filling and great breakfast
C. alternate choice for someone with a sweet tooth
D. You need to drink more milk anyway

Even if you aren't pregnant, this is a great recipe because it tastes just like the banana nesquick at the gas station, cheaper and with less carbs.


How far along am I?

I just had it confirmed by the doctor, I am 8 weeks and 5 days along. I also had an MRI approved by the neurologist to check out my tumor because its still early. I have been referred to a neurosurgeon. The ball is rolling.

The Smell

Wow, I feel like I am in a febreeze commercial and they are doing the unveiling of everything that I am "noseblind" to.

So what did I do about my stinky pet odor infested house?

What anyone else with a laptop would, I googled remedies for house odors. I don't have vinegar at my disposal, and I am thinking that even if I did, it wouldn't be a good idea for my super sensitive nose at the moment.

Another remedy that I found on the internet is hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.

Baking soda is amazing for everything apparently. The only baking soda that I have is in my arm&hammer litter box deodorizer. That actually worked out wonderfully. I first tried to mix the two in a squirt bottle, but the arm&hammer clumped up, so I screwed the nozzle of the sprayer in the hydrogen peroxide bottle, and voila, I sprayed all the carpets, and then sprinkled the arm and hammer and it smells great in here!! I have all the windows open and fans going to air it all out while I clean all day. I am going as far as to scrub the walls. I have never felt so much like a germa-phobe until I got pregnant.

My wonderful Grandma ordered me a Dyson animal which will be here in a couple of days and I cannot wait. I am scrubbing down the entire house until all odors are GONE!

If anyone has a carpet cleaner I could borrow I would really appreciate it!

BTW MOM'S: If you have any super-top-secret tips and tricks to keeping the house spotless please share with the class!

Baby photos of Mommy and Daddy - (will update with pictures of Kyle)

One thing that I definitely want to have for our baby, is a ton of pictures of him/her growing up. I really don't have that many. But then again the digital age did not come until I was much older. I have a feeling we will have so many it will be ridiculous. These are the two youngest pictures that I have of myself. I have a couple more buried somewhere, that I will dig up and add. I also need baby pictures of Kyle! I would love to hang all 3 baby pictures side by side on the wall and start a family tree wall. 

If anyone reading this blog has baby photos of Kyle, please email them to me at esallee92@gmail.com or send them to me on facebook.  As soon as we have some I will add them to this post.  


NO this is not me, this is a photography prop that I really want from amazon. Click the photo for the link. I think it is the most adorable newborn photo ever.
