I'm Still a Crab

I've been on a mini blogging break to spare the crabbiness.

I had a terribly long, hard weekend at work. Two 9 hour nights on my feet the entire time and didn't make much at all. Boo! It was the busiest weekend we've ever had. Saturday night between the restaurant and bar we sold about 15,000$. That's unheard of in that small family business. I'm still sore from standing for so long. My big 'ol belly is putting a ton of pressure on my who ha and legs! I dropped CDC off at school this morning, came home and CRC  and I went back to sleep around 9 and slept til 11! I couldn't hold my eyes open, for some reason. I will be done working weekends in two weeks though. So yay for that! I personally hired a new girl to fill my spot until I go back in July.

On another bad note, I owe about 3K in Dr. bills from this pregnancy. Ouch!!! Medicaid is still being a PITA to deal with! They've denied me 3 times. I just went today to reapply. I never thought i'd be in this situation. I always had great insurance and never thought twice about Medicaid. It's been very humbling to say the least.

CDC is still coughing her poor little head off. The antibiotics haven't kicked in just yet. I think CRC may have a slight ear infection as well. She's been a crab right along with her momma. She hasn't complained at all, but neither did CDC, so i'm just going to have to watch her.

I am though trying to be more comfortable with my burgeoning belly. I compared pictures to me pregnant with CRC and although my belly is almost 2x the size, my bum, arms , and face aren't quite as large. So that's a positive for me!!

I've also been trying my best to eat healthier. It's been going well too! But my tummy seems to act up more when I eat healthy..lol! Strange.. Everything makes me gag with this pregnancy. Especially water! Makes difficult for eating healthy. Tonight we're having Sauteed Pork Chops with Mushrooms, Onions, and Bell Peppers, Sweet Potatoes, Pinto Beans, and Steamed Veggies. Yum! And for dessert, i'm having a fresh fruit smoothie. Baby girl is kicking away as I cook/type. Ha! Yes i'm a multi tasker.

Girls just ran downstairs hollering "HUNGRY!!!" So I better get back to the food. =)

Because Every Girl Likes Sweets!

Last week{yes these pictures are a bit late} CDC got to try out her Easy Bake Oven for the first time. I remember using mine as a little girl and loved it!! CDCwas full of excitement watching the cookies go into the Oven, but the thrill was short lived when they took forever to bake!!

But when she did finally get to pull it out, she was giddy!

Chocolate Chip Mickey Mouse

We love breakfast! I've always made pancakes for the girls. When I found out I had to live Gluten Free, one of the first things I thought about was Pancakes!! I knew i'd miss them and so would the girls. Finally, I realized we could still have many of our favorite things, including Pancakes. Num!

I started getting creative while making the girl's pancakes. Mickey Mouse was the biggest hit! I later added chocolate chips to the mix..even more fun!! CDCasks for them all the time. They will actually eat them better, on some days, if they are in fun shapes.

I took off work Friday night, so Saturday morning I wasn't tired at all {it was so nice!} and CDC asked for Mickey Mouse Pancakes. How could I tell her no? I love them just as much, although mine are usually just a circle. =)

Here's CDC showing off her fun breakfast!

This is CRCs plate. Her's looks more like a piece of toast..lol! Oh well..she thought it was Mickey.
