Pretzels and Orange Juice

Once again, I am behind posting for week 8. My weeknights consist of dinner, a brief conversation with Nick, and bed by 8:30. I just don't have the energy to get on here to post. According to "What to Expect when you are expecting" the exhaustion faze will pass in the next few weeks.....then reappear in the third trimester.

This week I discovered that pretzels help with nausea and they are much tastier than saltines. The plan is to pick up the snack pack size bags and have one in my purse at all times....in addition to the raisins and granola bars i already carry. OJ is more delicious than I ever remembered. I want it every morning. This is unfortunate for Nick when we don't have any....he is headed to McDonald's as I type this for a breakfast sandwich and a large OJ. It's not really a wacky craving, like pickles and chocolate ice cream but it's what I want....and it's healthy!

I am trying REALLY hard to control my overwhelming urge to shop. Some days I have more control than others. This week I was at Kohl's and they were having a fantastic sale....plus I had a coupon for 20% off. This is how I justify my purchases in my mind. I found two of the cutest Christmas outfits for 70% off. They are gender neutral because they are both red and green and ended up being under $3 each! I just couldn't walk away....

This is a 3-piece outfit and the stocking on the pants actually goes on the back but I wanted you to see it. Nick thinks it is a little more girly....so we may have to replace the cute fleece pants with little jeans or something. This  looks really big but it only 3 months.....if nothing else, the bib is adorable!
