24 weeks!

24 weeks! Wow. Apparently, baby girl #3 weighs just over a pound and is a foot long (like an ear of corn) {babycenter.com}
Very interesting. You know, back during my 1st pregnancy, if someone asked how far along I was, I would be very specific. I'd say 24 weeks 3 days, and I wouldn't even hesitate. If they asked how much the baby weighed or how big it was, I would spout off all the babycenter.com stats comparing the baby to fruits and vegetables, etc (you know what I'm talking about, but if not... here).
 
I LIVED on Babycenter; the FAQ, the daily information, and don't get me started on the boards!! It was all so new and exciting to me... and really helpful (minus the "I think I'm losing the baby" threads which were less than cool). However, the fact that I was working on a computer 9 hours a day helped give me time to peruse.
 
However, this pregnancy I haven't been to babycenter or any other baby boards (with the exception of 5 minutes ago for the 24 week baby stats) since like month 2.  It's not that I think I know everything, trust me... I forget what week a baby is viable, what week the glucose screening is (but, I have had 2 different doctors so they switched that up on me -- same with the gender ultrasound), or how much I am supposed to gain each trimester, and all sorts of other random things. 
 
I started out strong; I joined my birth month board, updated my profile, and started posting... but, not gonna lie, chasing around 2 toddlers leaves little time for putzing and posting questions on baby boards.

Oh well, I guess I'll just wing it this time! I mean really, I've already done it twice! :)

Happy 6 months of growing, baby girl #3 :) Can't wait to meet you!

Pizza Night #15 - Revisit Portobello Pizza

For our 15th pizza night (well, 15th posted pizza night) we decided to revisit #5, Portobello Pizza.

The only difference was we used the Publix (grocery store chain) bakery pizza dough instead of a can of refrigerated pizza dough and we baked it for 18 minutes or so.

Again, we were HUGE fans! How yummy does this look?!

mmmm turkey legs!

Since we got our Annual Disney passes for Christmas (and then after some time, finally activated them), we have gone 3 times in 5 months! I find this to be pretty good considering I'm pregnant, we've been traveling, and it's hotter than anything here in Florida over the summer.

The girls, my mother in law, and I ventured over to Magic Kingdom on a cool 90+* day this past week, phew! It was hot, but we had a blast.

We tried out some new (to us) rides/shows:
The newly remodeled Dumbo the Elephant Flying Circus
We hovered around the Casey Jr. Splash and Soak Station
Enchanted Tiki Room
and the train that goes around the whole park

But my favorite NEW thing that we tried was....

THE TURKEY LEG!

 What's this mom?

I eat this thing?
 I don't know mom, looks kinda weird...
 Well... I guess I'll try it...

Even Jillie was a fan!

Bachelorette Party Goodies

The other weekend was my future-sister-in-laws bachelorette party in her home town of New Orleans. Her local sisters planned and prepared all the fun stuff for her bridal shower during the day Saturday, so I decided to come up with something fun for Saturday nights festivities.

After some googling and etsy and pinterest searching, I decided to make some Bachelorette Party Survival Kits. Since I was flying (with carry -on) I was somewhat limited on what to put in the baggies.

They were a HUGE hit! One girl had to use her kit before the night really started because she tripped on the oh-so-uneven streets of Bourbon Street on her way to dinner (alcohol swab and bandaid).

We had:
starbursts
blow pop
mints
chapstick (PS - the aquafina was like 4 for $2!!)
nail file
moist wipes
hair tie
bandaid
single serving energy drink
"Return to" address cards


My favorite item had to be the "Please return to" cards that I made in photoshop! Not that any of us needed it, but hey, we could have!
