so why am I so stinkin' tired!? It comes with the pregnancy though, I'll take it! Just had a super yummy dinner with my little fam. At the dinner table. Can you believe it? We have a bad habit of eating everywhere but the dinner table. Alyster actually cried this morning because he reallllly wanted us to sit at the dining room table. I felt awful! Needless to say we will now be having breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, water, anything that has to do with food, at that table! David and I are also trying to find new recipes that we enjoy so we can cook more. Less fast food and frozen food! Tonight I made crock pot BBQ chicken with some toasted and buttered french bread. It was a hit! Alyster just loves chicken any way but David is a different story. That man does not like it all that much, so when he says it's good that means it gets written on a recipe card and saved! The recipe is really simple:
I used:
-3 chicken breast halves (thawed) but you can always do more.
For the sauce:
1 12 oz bottle of BBQ sauce. (my favorite is Jack Daniels original)
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of Italian dressing (sounds strange but trust me it was delish!)
2 tbsp of worschestire sauce
Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Place thawed chicken in crock pot and sprinkle lightly with garlic salt and pepper. Pour all the sauce over the chicken. Place the lid and set the timer on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Turned out just like this:
I made mine into an open faced sandwich YUM!
Ok enough about food. On to the real reason why you are reading this, Baby Trigleth! Tuesday was the start of my 11th week and I am loving it! Last pregnancy I had the worst morning sickness (it must have been a guy that gave it that name cause we all know it can last all day long!) up until my 7th month. So far *knock on wood* I have had nausea but not actually getting sick. My girlfriend Erika says it must be a girl because I have been craving more healthful foods like cucumbers, veggies, cheeses and olives. With Alyster it was cheeseburgers and pizza! My next doctors appointment is next Tuesday and I am anxious to hear how little bit is progressing. I had gained 4 lbs as soon as I found out I was pregnant it seemed! After the holidays I was sure I would have gained even more. I could'nt get enough of my Grandma's tortillas and Mom's home cookin'! Turns out I managed to lose a couple lbs. Weighed in on Tuesday at 108.5 but that didn't last long. Seriously it's like as soon as I hit that 11 week mark I went into major pregnant woman mode and started eating like crazy (and have not stopped!!). Current weight is now 110. I gotta quit obsessing over this. I just need to focus on having a healthy pregnancy and baby! Send your prayers this way!
Here's my 11 week picture:
Weight pre pregnancy: 106.5
Current weight: 110
Week: 11
Much Love
