Anna’s Plate

I have recently gotten a few questions about what Anna is eating now so I thought I would show her plate from dinner last night. Last night I made grilled cheese sandwiches on a super seedy multigrain bread from La Brea (Costco), Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato Soup and kale chips. It was a great meal for Brady and I and part of it could be shared with Anna.

Anna is almost a year(April 21st) and is eating small bits of

I think one of the hardest things to do when you are pregnant is register for baby products. You really can’t fathom what all you will need and use in the upcoming months and years and yet you are required to pick everything out! When I was registering, I relied on my family/friends’ opinions and experiences and I think they did a great job guiding me through the world of baby products! I am starting a new series about baby

So last night went pretty well!  We were up to eat at 12, 2:00, 6:00am.  Anna is already growing I think!  We will find out if she is back up to her birth weight at the doctor today.  I am thinking she will be.    She has been a great eater, so far.

Our spicy/sweet marinade was a mixture of a few ideas.  One of them was from an old Cooking Light recipe I ripped out and saved.  It involved soy

I can’t believe tomorrow is April 13th.  I really thought the day would never come.  Now I am sure it will come and go and there will be no baby, but..think good thoughts that it will be soon! After school Katie and I walked 2.5 miles and I am planning on going to spinning the morning.  You would think after Saturday’s spinning, Sunday’s 3 mile walk with Brady then edging and weeding our gardens, I would well on my way.

This morning we got up and I went to Spinning class.  I was home by 9:45 and starving.  While I showered, Brady made us breakfast.  He made my egg whites with mushrooms, spinach and salsa.

His eggs were made with BW3 Carribean Jerk sauce.

Cooking on the stove:

Our sides included some fresh guac that Brady whipped up.

Ready and fresh…
