Getting Bigger

I am 15 weeks 2 day today and I am finally starting to feel better. Definitely not 100% yet, but better is so nice. My belly is getting bigger everyday. I feel such a close connection with the baby already. I spent the day in the kitchen cooking yesterday. I made a big pot of pinto beans, a large batch of brown rice, corn bread with whole corn, and tons of chocolate chip cookies from scratch. We had that for dinner last night and then made wraps with tortillas for lunch today. At some point in the next few days I will make re-fried beans and soup with the rest of the beans. We went to the grocery store tonight and saved $108 dollars. I actually bought 108 items too. I had not been getting the paper or clipping coupons for the past few months since we moved. Joey had been doing most of the shopping here and there on his way home from work. I am getting my coupons built back up and getting back in the swing of things. I have missed doing it and cooking for everyone. Tomorrow I am going to finish planning our meals for the week. Joey requested I make a pitcher of sweet tea, something you won't find in New Jersey. I also need to make laundry detergent and refill all of our cleaners.

Snow

They had so much fun and worked together to make their first snow man as brothers.
It was so foggy out.

I love looking out over our back yard.

Daddy came home from work a little early to play another day.

Today......It's a Beautiful Day.

It's Snowing!!!!!

It has been snowing all day and it is beautiful.

I have felt pretty good today. When I get sick lately it is usually after dinner in the evening. Always after I shower also. I think it is from bending and twisting around my already BIG belly.I have done really well eating soup lately, like chicken or beef. Anything with cream not so much. That means none of our beloved potato soup. The other thing that is a definite no-no right now is ice cream or milk shakes. Sick every time. Soups are by far my favorite thing to cook so it suits me just fine. I have been able to get quit a few things done today which feels so good. I ordered some new school books for the boys and the next two books in the last series I was reading. The series is Abram's Daughters by Beverly Lewis. I had read the first three so I ordered four and five. This has by far been one of my favorite of the Amish fictions. They came yesterday. Woohoo! I read the first nineteen chapters last night and this morning. I will be sad when the series is over. I have a roast to put in the oven and am going to build a fire. They boys will be chilled to the bone when they come in. Hot cocoa to warm from the inside and the fire to warm from the outside. The joy on their faces is the best. I will post the pictures soon.
