So, the other day, I was having one of those "I need to eat healthier" moments... in particularly when it comes to snacks around the house. I just feel like I've been eating more Halloween candy and chips more than anything else. To make myself feel better, I searched for healthy pregnancy snacks and went shopping to fill the pantry with more than just junk food. At the top of my list was this delicious recipe:
No-Bake Almond-Butter Granola Balls Recipe
Well, let me just tell you, this recipe did not allow me to roll into bite size balls - so I decided to forgo those directions and put the mixture in a few small Tupperware bowls to take to work throughout the week. And it really is easy and delicious! Tony is taking some to work in the morning, so I really hope he likes it, too.
We got holiday pictures taken this week and that went insanely well! Portrait Innovations is the place we've gone for the past two years because of their $14.95 great deal. Plus, we had a coupon, so the package was only $9.95 (get the coupon here!) and you get a ton of pictures. The picture this year looked more like a maternity picture than it looked like a Christmas picture, but we're just so dang excited about little Miss Presley being on the way and so was the photographer. Sooner or later I'll scan a copy of the picture onto here to show you... even though I'm sure that's all kinds of illegal.
That's about it for this entry, but before I go, I will share with you another picture of the ever-growing belly
It's definitely getting there! One of my co-workers loves to point out how big "I'M" getting (rather than my stomach), especially compared to another co-worker of ours who was the cutest and tiniest pregnant lady ever. Although I know she means nothing by it - sometimes it gets to me. I've also gotten the comment, "You sure it's not twins?" and stuff like that recently. (No... it's not twins, but it COULD be the three ice cream sandwiches I ate earlier!) Again, people don't realize how those kinda things can be hurtful, so I just need to let it roll off my shoulder and remember that my husband loves my tummy and that I am carrying a beautiful little girl in there! I've really got to start thinking of witty comments to make back after rude comments... so if you have any good ideas, you just let me know!
Other than that, things are going well and I'm a happy girl. So until next time, remember to be considerate of others and that your words are powerful! Goodnight :)

What a cute pregnant belly! You're lucky not to have stretch marks. And get used to people pointing out how big you get. It gets old quick, trust me.
ReplyDeleteSkinny people seem to have a "bigger" tummy quicker just because there is not room for baby to grow! I have seen a lot of prego people and the skinniest people show the quickest...clearly you did not have room for PRESLEY in your tiny 6 pack a few months ago, Ali! You are ALL BABY and look BEAUTIFUL!
