17-18 Weeks Pregnant

My most recent vlog!
Had a scary painful episode that landed me in the hospital!
Home now and baby is fine, but it was an experience I hope I won't have to face again! :)

Valentine's Pregnant Mama Outfit of the Day!

I picked up this adorable pink shift dress at our locally owned (and awesome) store, Blonde, yesterday!
Just in time for Valentine's Dinner at our favorite French restaurant!!
I fell in love with it after trying it on and turned it "maternity" by adding a simple ribbon! Haha
It gave it a more empire shape, so you could actually tell I was pregnant and didn't just have a large meal ;)

They were also giving out the cutest little heart earrings, to celebrate Valentine's!
So I definitely rocked those too!!
I love Valentine's Day!
Hope everyone enjoyed their day as much as we did!!

And ofcourse the holiday isn't complete without some baked sweets!! So I quickly whipped up some chocolate cupcakes with pink cream cheese butter cream frosting, before heading out for the evening!

Mama has a Secret

Well, at 17 weeks in, I've decided to keep a log of the rest of my 2nd pregnancy! :)

We are thinking we'll be be thrilled and complete after these two kids, and it might be nice to look back on.
Perhaps it'll help someone curios about symptoms and general pregnancy stuff, as well!!
Since I tend to ramble on.. a lot.. these will be mostly done in video form, to save time, and keep me from stopping after one or two! :)
I hope to get better as they go on!

In this first video, taken last night I talk about my insane hormones, cravings and strange aversions, and symptoms I've had since 1st tri!!
Also some events coming up.
I will be dancing on a stage, midway during my pregnancy!! Yep.. :)
That's it for now, hope you enjoy my first mommy "vlog!"

We Have a Walker!!

Little Vincent decided to let go of mommy and daddy and walk all on his own yesterday!!
So proud of my little bruiser <3 
I decided to try out cool a new little app called "Magisto" to put together a short clip of his first steps!
Unfortunately it turned out a bit blurry. I don't know if it happened during the upload or when.. I'm not too technologically advanced!
But you can totally still make out the utter cuteness of his first steps!! :)





PS: yes, I was wearing my robe.. haha.
Not that I need an excuse, but for anyone who may be concerned, I was getting ready to do my hair and makeup and put on my costume for our Halloween parties that night! ;)

Super Quick Refreshing Snack!

So, this afternoon I was busy catching up on some laundry/folding, and paper filing.. while my poor, sick lil' dude was napping off his cold.

I was in need of a quick easy lunch and was going to make a meaty and refreshing little sandwich..
But remembering we were out of bread, that wasn't going to work.. Haha
We go through ridiculous amounts of bread in our little family of 3..

Still wanting something super easy, meaty and refreshing.
I grabbed a flour tortilla and improvised something that sort of resembled sushi! Just no rice, or seafood.. It actually totally isn't like sushi at all!
But it reminded me of it anyway.. Haha

It only involves 4 ingredients!

*Flour Tortilla
*Cream Cheese
*Cucumber
*Sandwich Meat Slices

All I did was:
• Microwave a tortilla for 15 seconds to keep it soft and supple.
• Spread on Cream Cheese (light if you'd prefer). I used good ole' regular Philly.
• Shred some Cucumber and sprinkle the cucumber shreds all over. I added quite a bit to my second one because it was nice and refreshing!
• Spread about 3 pieces of sandwich meat over the cucumber. I had Black Forest Ham.
• Roll it up, and cut into cute little bite sized pieces!! :)

I can't believe how yummy and easy this was! I'll definitely be whipping them up more often!
I made a roll for my husband too, when he came home from work. He agreed it was yummy and just what he needed!
