SOOOOO I have been slacking once again!!! Its been so busy but Just realized that I never announced to all of those who read the blog...

ITS A BOY!!!

(Jeff thinks the onsie across my belly looks like some 

weird underwear or something lol)

We couldn't be happier, and for all of you who know Jeff, my goodness, that my friends is a proud dad :)  We couldn't be more excited to meet our little guy!!

random post..

So I've skipped my weekly pregnancy update for 21 weeks, FAIL, I promise I'll do one for 22 weeks (which is today, holy cow) but I'll work on that later... just a random post about some yummy food I made the other day! :)   They were so easy to make, and I can TOTALLY see this being a super easy and fun meal to do with kids.

Pizza Rolls

1 pkg of premade pizza dough (or homemade if you're feeling adventurous)

1 jar of sauce

Mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese

Garlic Powder

Roll out the pizza dough on a flowered surface.  I added the garlic powder right on the dough, but this is definitely optional, or ad whatever spices you like :) Spread the sauce as thin or as generously as you would like it.  Sprinkle the cheese, again as much or as little as you like.  Then once you get all your pizza toppings on the dough, roll the dough longways like you're making cinnamon rolls.  Slice the roll into 1 inch sections and stand up on a cookie sheet.  Bake according to the pizza dough instructions MINUS 2 minutes.  At this time take the pizza rolls out and add a spoonful of sauce to the top of each roll and a sprinkle of cheese, cook the remaining 2 minutes or until the chesse is melted and slightly golden.  Let cool and ENJOY :)

Alfredo pizza

This was really simple and delicious!  Jeff made the alfredo sauce and then we had bought mini pizza crusts and Sprouts.  All we did was put on the sauce, grilled up some chicken breasts and sprinkled with cheese.  Perfect dinner for 2

Can you tell its been Italian food on the brain for us these past 2 weeks??  

-the Todds

20 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along? 20 weeks and 1 day

Size of baby: About 10.5 inches long and 10.5 oz

Total weight gain/loss: 10 pounds as of my visit on Monday

Maternity Clothes: yup, here we are!

Gender: Find out on Thursday!! Cannot WAIT!!!

Movement: So excited to feel the baby more these days, such an amazing feeling!! Jeff felt baby Todd for the first time after our appointment on Monday, he was a very proud daddy :)

Sleep: eh, it'd be better if I got more of it!  Having some back problems so that doesn't help

What I miss: I guess caffeine still, I'm doing fine without it, but honestly not missing much at this point

Cravings: Anything with alot of flavor!  Also TONSSS of ice water

Symptoms: Still not having much, besides the back pain of course

Sooo excited for our upcoming appointment where we will get to see our precious little, and find out the gender!  Jeff still insists that we're having a boy, but more recently everyone else who was thinking boy is switching their votes to girl!! We shall see! I will be updating very soon to let everyone know! 

-The three of us

Almost HALFway!!!

Well we're getting closer to that halfway mark! I'm 17 1/2 weeks, going on 38 of course! We are so ready to meet our little peanut :)  Things have been going really well, note the gap in blogs, I have gotten my energy back and have been on the go! This weekend we are celebrating my FIRST mother's day! I have the sweetest friends that are so thoughtful, it was so fun coming home from work yesterday to beautiful flowers and a sweet card from two of my roommates from college!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along? 17 weeks and 3 days

Size of baby: 5.1 inches / 5.9 oz

Total weight gain/loss: I have gained 9lbs as of this morning, seems to be right on track!

Maternity Clothes: yup, taking over my closet!  I am still able to wear some of my pre-pregnancy shirts, but pants are maternity all the way - they are so much more comfortable on my growing belly

Gender: Find out June 6th - counting down the days :)

Movements: I have felt very faint things but then usually followed by a stomach growl, so I'm not convinced that I have really felt the peanut, but I cannot wait!

Sleep: Sleep has been much better, still getting up to go to the bathroom, but I am alot more rested throughout the day

What I miss? Caffeine! don't we all?

Cravings: Sour things and WATER - can't seem to get enough!

Symptoms: the only "symptom" I can think of is back pain, but other than that I have been really blessed with almost no symptoms!

Wish all the moms, and moms to be, a wonderful mother's day! 

Love, the THREE of us

Soon to be.....

A FAMILY OF 3!!!


that's right, all the decaf drinks, especially no Dr. Pepper, eating constantly, tired morning, afternoons and nights... you guessed it!  Jeff and I are expecting :)  We couldn't be happier than we are right now!


I know, I know, first questions first!!!


How far along am I?  12 weeks!! Goodbye 1st trimester :)
When is the little babe going to make an appearance? October 14
How have I felt?  What a blessing, I have hardly been sick at all, actually only threw up 2 times so far!  I do feel nauseous throughout the day but usually only when I am getting hungry, and eating a snack will usually fix that nasty feeling.
Boy or Girl?  Too early to tell, but we do want to find out!  I am way too much of a planner to let that one go.  Although, Jeff says there's nothing to stress about, he only makes boys, so we apparently already know what we're having ;)
Next appointment?  I have my next appointment in 4 more weeks.  At the 12 week appointment yesterday, we were able to hear the heartbeat, made everything a little more real for both of us!
Maternity clothes?  Surprisingly I am still wearing my regular clothes, although not everything fits like it used to, so I have removed somethings from my wardrobe!  But for the most part I can still wear the same pants and shirts, they say the baby bump appears over night so I'm just waiting for that to pop up one morning!


There's a little update, I hope to have a picture soon!!  Jeff and I are so excited for this new addition to our little family, can't wait to meet our little bean!


xoxo,
The three Todds :)

Snow Day 2011.02

So like I said in the last post... it has been a strange winter.. although I'm writing this on a beautiful 65 degree day.  We had a second snow/ice day in February, only led the boys to "one up" the previous igloo, and left the ladies inside to enjoy the warm fire!  One day in the snow is plenty for me!

Pretty tree and berries outside our window

Baby Paul and I staying warm inside

Boys and their creation!

Here's to warmer days to come!
