Please Vote!!!

Please dont forget to vote!

We are not going to find out what we are having and decided to do a baby pool! So please click on the link and make your guess!





Previous births:

DJ - 8 days late, 5:40am, 8lbs 1oz, 21 1/2 inches long, 16 1/2 hours labor, water broke in the afternoon.

Reagan - 8 days early, 7:26pm, 6lbs 11oz, 19 inches long, 12 hours labor, water broke in the morning.

Kugele.. Dave's Lithuanian Dish!

The whole process will take about 3-4 hours.

What you will need:
1 pound bacon, diced
1 large onions, diced (we use 1/2 onion because I dont like them)
1/2 -2/3 of a 16oz tub of Sour Cream
5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and shredded (do not use Idaho Potatoes, they dont give out enough starch)
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

1. Peel and Shred Potatoes (this takes the longest) Its okay if the potatoes start to turn brown/red.


2. After potatoes are grated, you need to seperate the juices and the potato mix. Put everything in a cloth towel and drain into another bowl. Dont take all of the juices, take about 90% of it.

3. You will then start sauteeing the onions and bacon. only cook the bacon 3/4 of the way because they will cook the rest of the way in the oven.

4. Your potato mixture should look almost like dough. Then mix your evap milk and sour cream.

5. You are going to want to pour the juice out of the bowl so you can get the potato starch (the white stuff at the bottom) and mix all of the starch with the potato mix.

6. Finally mix in the onions and bacon. Mix really well and then put in a casserole dish.

7. Bake for 2hrs at 350 degrees. Chech at about 1 1/2 hours in to make sure its not burning or over cooked.

8. Let cool for about 15 minutes and then dig in!!! I love sour cream with mine but you can put butter or have it plain!!

ENJOY!!!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Reagan!!!

3 year check up...

Today we had DJ's 3 year check up. When we got there I signed him in and he played in the waiting room till they called us into the smaller room. They called us in and they took DJ's weight and height and off to the little room for blood pressure and temp. Then it was more waiting... Apparently they were really swamped this afternoon.

They called us in and they took DJ's weight and height and off to the little room for blood pressure and temp. Then it was more waiting... Apparently they were really swamped this afternoon.

Finally after about 20 minutes and coloring on the paper on the table Dr. A comes in. DJ says "Hi Dr. A___!" She goes over his weight, height, speech, etc.. Now its time to look at ears, mouth and nose... hahaha good luck!! After holding him down so she could look in his ears and mouth, it was off to check reflexes and the back. She made him bend over and touch his toes =) Passed all of that with flying colors!

Now it was time... The dreaded shots... We had 2 nurses come in and administer the shots and finger poke. One of the nurses had his hand and the other was distracting him with stickers. Well once that needle hit his finger he wanted nothing to do with the stickers and was hysterical! He wanted out of that room and in my car. We finally got the blood and it was time for the shots in the leg.. This was a task all in its own. I had DJ's arms crossed over his chest, the other nurse had his hips and the last nurse had his legs pinned up against the table so she could do the shots. He was not having this and fought the whole time she did the shots.

Finally we were done and could go home. I have never seen DJ walk so fast to get to the car.. lol So we are appt and shot free till Kindergarten!!!!

Here is the before shots picture...

And the after... He was so pissed off at me.. lol

Laying on the couch after we got home...

Poor little guy...

Stats:

Height: 3'3'' 65%
Weight: 34.5lbs 45%

15/16 Weeks...

How far along: 15 Weeks But Peanut is measuring 1 week ahead.

Total weight gain/loss: -20lbs

Size of the baby: Between an Orange (4in & 2.5oz) & an Avocado (4.6in & 3.5oz) Continuing the march towards normal proportions, Peanut's legs now out measure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your peanut is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements. Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

Sex: Were not finding out!

Maternity clothes: Yes. I got some cute plaid shorts and some tops!

Sleep: waking up 2-3 times a night

Movement: I can feel little flutters but no kicks yet.

Food cravings: Sweets & Sours, Sour Punch Straws, Fruit, Cheerios, hard boiled eggs, Cobb Salads

Food aversions: everything else....

Morning sickness: just getting waves of nausea now. About 2-3x a week.

Symptoms: tired, hungry, irritable

Labor signs: Too soon.

Belly button in or out: In

What I miss: My energy I had, but hopefully now that I'm in my 2nd trimester my energy will come back!

What I'm looking forward to: My 3rd Appt on 8/9!!
Milestones: Seeing Peanut, 1st appt, 2nd appt, 2nd Trimester

Boy or Girl?

Maternity clothes.. And a Belly Shot..

Yesterday the kids, my little sister and I went to the mall because I needed to find some maternity shorts. Ive looked everywhere for shorts that I would like and fit well, but had no luck. So I had to go to Destination Maternity/A pea in the Pod Maternity store at the galleria. When I got there I found some cute tops and the sales lady grabbed me a few shorts to try on. As soon as I put on the plaid shorts, I knew they were the ones! Here is a pic of them.



I got a Blue Tank and a Grey Tank that will match the shorts. They are so comfy!! I just didn't like the numbers the register showed me when I was paying.. Ugh! Why do maternity clothes have to be so expensive?!? Thank goodness (NOT) Cali has long summers so I can get my moneys worth out of all the clothes I'm buying.. lol

Here is my 14.3 week belly, I'm measuring ahead a week so Ive really popped/ballooned out.. *dislike*

And of course I'm wearing my new outfit =)

Enjoy!!!
