More preggo pictures and my curly hair!

I've had some requests to add some more pregnancy pictures. Here's a little synopsis of my weeks. I'm looking a little the same, or maybe smaller in the last two- maybe I got a little out of control on the eating before the 24th week! :)

4 weeks.......19 weeks......24 weeks......28 weeks (new)


This is me in my dress that still fits! Maybe it was supposed to be for preggos?? It always did fit a little funny, don't you think Mica? :)

Same dress, but this is showing off my curly hair. It's a little wild, but no "triangle head"! :)
Funny face, but it was better than the others. This is my hair curly and straight. I didn't pull it back or anything yet for this picture.

...and they came two by two. I think I'm obsessed!

Many of you may know I was so generously given my nursery theme: Noah's Ark. I say given because Mike's cousin was so nice to give me an almost entire nursery room set! Everything including bedding, decorations and accessories. That was probably a good thing because I can never choose, but since I have it, I'm going with it! She gave me this cute wagon and said that the first person who had it had put two of beanie babies in it to make it Noah's Ark themed even more. I liked that idea and went for it. Chelsy and I went shopping at DI to get started and I've been looking for doubles ever since. I just had to show off my collection so far!

This is what we have so far (spread out so you can see) with buffaloes, blue jays, black bears (yes, Chelsy, I got another black bear so we weren't mixing breeds with the polar bear!) rabbits, pelicans, cows, foxes, ducks, moose, squirrels, lobsters, crabs, and kangaroos! I still have a lonely black lab, white tiger, polar bear, rhino and flamingo. Aren't they so cute!?!

PS- If anyone knows a really good way to clean/disinfect a beanie baby-let me know. Some of these need a little help :)

And I couldn't leave out the bargain I got today at yard sales (that included some of the above mentioned beanie babies!)
A Fisher Price Noah's Ark! How much better can it get?? :)

Egg Drop Ramen?

I don't know if you know, but I don't really "follow" recipes. I mostly just look at a bunch, decide what sounds good and put it together at will. Well, my "will" tonight was to have ramen so after searching Google for "ramen recipes" and reading a bunch I decided that veggies, ramen and egg sounded good together. Egg sounds gross you say? Not if you do it egg-drop soup style! :) Well I had to research (on Google of course!) how to properly "egg-drop" and found it was quite complicated, but About.com gave me answers. After sauteing my frozen veggies (I like them to look cooked), adding water and cooking my ramen with oriental sauce, I took out all the solids from my soup and performed what I would have to say was a magnificent job of "egg-dropping". One minute of rapid stirring and then returning all my solids gave me a delicious ramen meal! So much fun! :) so random...

Chopping my hair :)
