NEVER EVER Eat a Whole Can of Peaches at Once!

     And most definitely not when you are still struggling with morning sickness!!  Lesson learned.  Currently sitting here with a gurgling stomach, access of saliva forming in my mouth, and trying to decide if I should just get it over with or fight to keep it down.  Right now I am fighting...we'll see.  So far I have lost 16 pounds this pregnancy and I just feel like the responsible thing to do for Rosie Posie (what the Country Contessa's four year old has named my baby) is to try and keep my nutrients where they belong!

     Before I made the mistake of not eating until around noon and then eating a bunch of peaches I was feeling pretty good all in all.  I showered without having trouble with the smell of the shampoo and conditioner, got DRESSED for the first time in ages even though I am staying home, AND put my hair into a french braid.  I took many little pauses and breaks as the standing up for to long still is giving me nausea, but overall I feel very accomplished!!

     Feeling a little better but not yet well enough to start cleaning or anything has given me the opportunity to meal plan for the arrival of Rosie Posie. (As a side note my Warrior Ninja is personally convinced we are having a boy so he probably will not be to thrilled when I tell him I am referring to his "son" as Rosie Posie.  I have a feeling its a girl but I am told by him that I am wrong.)  I have found a great site called Six Sister's Stuff which is a treasure trove of all sorts of easy looking recipes.  I particularly like their frozen meals and crock-pot recipes.  My Warrior Ninja bought me a crock-pot last christmas but I have barely used it unfortunately, due in part to my tiny apartment kitchen.  If I put the crock-pot on the counter I have very little space to clean, prepare, or dice anything.  As we will be moving soon I am excited about trying out some of these recipes once I feel a bit better!  I think it will be soon!  I am currently putting together a shopping list and stack of recipes to put in a binder.  The idea is I will try the recipes now and then in the month before Rosie Posie's entrance do them again so we have ready made food to eat at our finger tips!  I'll keep you updated as to how it goes!
