Today's Randomness....

This is why I shouldn't make cake.

Can you tell what part of the cake we like?

Here is my boy eating lunch, he was being rather silly today....and then he did...

THIS!

And his mom says "Leave it there while I go get my camera!". Way to teach him not to put food on his face and hair.

My New Cooking Blog

I didn't want to overwhelm this blog with recipes and tales of cooking so I started another blog. If you're interested go check it out!

There is also a link to it in "My Links" section on the right hand side of this blog.

This week's pictures.

I can't believe I'm already halfway through this pregnancy.


Definitely goes by much faster with the second pregnancy.

Makes me wonder if the people that have a lot of kids feel like the 3+ pregnancy felt like you woke up pregnant and then a couple days later you're having another baby. :-)

The perfect rocking chair

So it feels like forever now that we've been looking for a rocking chair. We went through two rocker/gliders in less than 6 months and decided that wasn't the way to go anymore.

This was our first choice, it was like a dream to sit in AND it matches our other furniture.

This was our second choice (we would have gotten it in chocolate), but then we went to Babies R Us and looked at both of those chairs and felt like the quality left a lot to be desired and decided we didn't want to spend that kind of money for a chair that wasn't going to last.

I should add that we've been traipsing all over the city looking at other furniture stores and no one sells little rockers that are of any quality anymore. It's crazy. We finally just decided to go with this one....

And here is where you tell me that it doesn't match our other furniture in color or style. I know.

Sure is comfy though.

Think Pink.

We had the ultrasound today where they check all the parts of the baby out to make sure all is well. I get to hold off on the 17P shots for awhile longer. Everything is looking good and functioning how it should be and we found out that it's a...

GIRL!

We're totally excited even though Cary was sure that it was boy. I think I'm just happy to actually KNOW what it is. My hat is off to all of you that can wait the entire pregnancy to find out. Although, this little girl was pretty determined not to let us see and I was sure we were going to walk away not knowing what it was. They finally got her to move into a position they could see. :-)

Now for shopping!

Breakfast cups

So I tried these and thought they were pretty good, they are very easy, and of course you don't just have to make them for breakfast. I'm a fan of breakfast for supper. :-)

Need:
-Sliced deli roast beef or turkey (or ham if you eat that)
-Eggs
-Cheese

Really you need a muffin tin, but I don't own one of those yet. (I know!) Spray the muffin pan and put the meat slices in like so. (I used the stand alone muffin tins)

Crack an egg into each cup and sprinkle with pepper. (you don't need salt)

Slice or grate cheese over the top.

Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes (depending on how cooked you like your eggs)

Voila!

If the black edges bother you, you can cut them off with food scissors. :-)

I'm turning over a new leaf....

I used to cook a lot, and then the summer rolled around and we were going on trips, and packing to move and I got lazy and started cooking less and less because we weren't home long enough to use the ingredients and food was going bad, etc.... I got pregnant and then the cooking was really non-existant for about 2 months, but last night Cary said "Enough, is enough!" Ok, he didn't really say that, but in a round about way he was saying that he is tired of canned soup, frozen meals, lean pockets, and frozen pizza. Soooo, I've resolved to start cooking again, but I need your quick go to meal suggestions that you like to make at home.
