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!

10 Weeks!

Well I don't have much of a post for this week. I did however, want to share my 10 week photo! Still feeling about the same and definitely looking forward to being done with the first trimester! Oh, and also Ryan and I did get to hear little chicklit's heartbeat which was one of the most incredible things I've ever heard. We recorded the sound on my i phone and I haven't been able to stop listening to it since!

Envelope Date #2

This month Ryan and I celebrated our five year anniversary, of our first time meeting each other and our first date! So I planed this date to be just like our first one! Only this time due to being pregnant I took three bites of my food and felt sick to my stomach and I was way to tired to see a movie! We decided to save the movie for another day, probably a matinee! I also forgot my camera but I did snap a picture of the envelope and what was in it!

Way Too Long!

Its been way to long since my last post! In my defence however, a LOT has happened. Ryan and I found out that we are expecting!!! So with that being said, I've had a hard time finding time to catch up on my blog! Between the all day long morning sickness and going to bed at 7pm it has been some what of a challenge(as you can see).  But with the first trimester almost behind me I will hopefully be better about it!

This is the picture that we gave our parents to tell them the news!

Our due date did change to September 22

This weeks bump!

And we have nick-named the baby Chicklit

Envelope Date #1

Yesterday Ryan and I got to enjoy our first envelope date! It was so nice to be able to go out and do something without having to really plan it! We first went for a round of bowling. Which as to be expected, Ryan kicked my butt! Then we went for some amazing cupcakes!

I don't like to lose!

Ryan really loved his cupcake!

Lemon poppy seed with raspberry filling... need I say more!
