Envelope Date #3

For our third envelope date I planed a romantic night in with fondue! Ryan opened the envelope the first of March but didn't know when we were going to do it. I set it all up in our guest room that way we could eat dinner and I could surprise him with it afterwards!





My Mother-in-law gave me the recipe for the fondue and it is so easy and really good! If you want to try it, here it is:

~ 2Tbs. all-purpose flour
~ 1-1/2 2% milk
~ 3oz dark chocolate(about 2 candy bars), Chopped
~ 3oz milk chocolate, chopped
(I recommend using the Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips!)
~ 2 Tbs. light corn syrup

Directions:
~ In a small saucepan, combine flour and milk until smooth. bring to a boil on medium-high heat; cook and stir for one minute or until thickened. Reduce heat to low. stir in chocolate and corn syrup. cook and stir until melted.
~ Transfer into a fondue pot and keep warm.
~ Yields: 2 cups.

Week 13 and 14!

Well here we are again... 2 weeks have come and gone and I haven't posted! Now that I'm in my second trimester hopefully I will have more energy to post! I have been feeling so much better as far as morning sickness however, bad headaches along with pain in my left hip have started. Even so, I love being pregnant! We had our second doctor's appointment yesterday. Everything is looking good, chicklit's heart rate has dropped from 164 to 150 and I've gained 4 lbs! First time in my life that I haven't minded putting on the lbs;)

11 and 12 week update!

The weeks just keep flying bye, I can hardly believe it! In less then  a week I will be saying good bye to my first trimester and hello to, no more morning sickness, more energy, and my appetite! Hopefully this is not all wishful thinking but only time will tell! Just the other night I swear I felt a little tickle in my belly... it only lasted about 2 seconds but it was something I had never felt before. I don't know if it's possible to feel any movement this early and I haven't felt it since but it was crazy and so unexpected! I can't wait tell I'm feeling it all the time!
