Top 2 Favorite Healthy Recipes and Snacks

So we know I am pregnant and have been indulging more than usual, but I do still feel better when I eat better. And (being pregnant) sometimes the snacking is more important than the meal. So here it goes...

1. Edamame

I like it steamed with a little sea salt. And while I could eat it every day, I do only have it occasionally b/c of the soy and the pregnancy.

2. Hummus and fresh veggies

Just the BEST:)

In other news, I've started prenatal yoga (nothing like waiting til the last minute, right??). I'm hoping it helps with circulation, swelling and strengthening for labor-related activities. Wish me luck:)



Better Late Than Never

I posted the pictures from the baby shower last weekend, but I never got around to posting the pictures from Sunday.

Sunday, on our way home, we went to see our oldest niece, Lexi, play basketball. After we went to lunch with Bill's parents, his sister April, her husband Jim and Lexi.

It was fun to see her play! The team is way out of their league, but she did great. She was the only one on her team to score.

As for the pregnancy, everything is going according to schedule. I've been feeling pretty good, except for just being so tired. I started some foot/ankle/calf swelling at the end of this week, so that hasn't been much fun. She is definitely growing! I can feel her everywhere!

Right now we are pediatrician shopping and getting our bags ready for the hospital. Only 6 weeks or so to go!



Baby Shower 2

This weekend we had a baby shower in Bill's hometown. His mom, sisters and our family friend, Dusty, did such a great job!

It was a vintage baseball theme (think A League of Their Own) and was sooo cute! The kids even watched the movie in between games and gifts.

So many cute pictures, so I won't write too much, but it was wonderful and I'm so thankful to all who were involved and came. Bill and I are so blessed to have you all.
