Week Twenty-Four

April 16, 2010 by Aliesha

Here we are at week 24! It’s amazing how quickly things are speeding along. Click here to compare with last week’s photo. I think that I am carrying really high! (As in… I can still wear my low-rise skinny jeans buttoned, though they are getting tight.)

I don’t really have a lot to say that is new… things are going well and we are enjoying doing more towards the birth. I’ve been reading a parenting book (I’ll post a review when I’m finished), working on baby registries, and making more things for the nursery. She’ll be here in less than 4 months!

We haven’t decided officially on a name yet, but even once we do we’re going to wait to share it until she is born.

I still haven’t been sleeping very well at night; it takes me forever to fall asleep. I think I’m still adjusting to the new house, and some nights baby’s kicking keeps me awake for a bit (in a happy, I’m-glad-I-can-feel-her way). I’ve still been experiencing some lower back pain and ligament cramping, but I know this is because my belly is growing so much right now!

I read that by the end of the sixth month (I’m at the beginning), our baby will have doubled in weight! I find I’m hungry more often than I used to be.

Thank you for praying for us and for our baby girl!

Cheesy Potatoes

April 15, 2010 by Aliesha

My mom has made this recipe countless times, and everyone always enjoys it! I didn’t get a picture of the dish before it was almost gone, but I like to think of that as a testament to how delicious it is!
Cheesy Potatoes

1 bag frozen hashbrowns (cubed or shredded… we like shredded)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
4 Tbsp. minced onion
1 small (8 oz.) container sour cream
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/2 bag shredded cheddar cheese

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir thoroughly. Press into a greased baking dish. Bake 30-45 minutes (longer if using a deeper dish) at 350 degrees. Serves 8-10. Like this recipe? Follow me so you never miss a new recipe post!

House Tour: Master Bathroom

April 14, 2010 by Aliesha

Here are pictures of the latest room in our house tour: our master bathroom! We love how serene it feels with the cool colors, fluffy white towels, and beachy art. Many of the decorative items in the room were gifts or were collected on various trips, which makes them all the more special!
