Re: Wednesday ticket Change 9-7
Baby is the size of a navel orange or a canary.
No appointments. I wanna say my next one is on the 14th.
I have a bump! It always seems like it appears overnight. There was nothing there a week ago!
No rants/raves.
My favorite Crock-Pot recipe is Iowa Girl Eats' Sweet, Spicy, Smoky Chili. (Not sure how to add a link on mobile, sorry!) It works just as well in a pot for 45 minutes if you're hangry. I love adding Sriracha to my bowl after cooking for extra heat. So glad it's chili season! The Chunky Chef's slow cooker zuppa toscana is pretty great too!
Size of an orange
My next appt is the 20th of Sept. And I can't wait to see what sex our baby is!
"Heavy" uterus feeling started a couple days ago
Im currently super irritated that I can't sleep. And I stepped on DS' ukelele on the way to the bathroom which hurt so bad! And we are moving in one week, so I could rant about that for hours
My favorite crockpot recipe is Rotel Chicken. Chicken and a can of rotel on low all day. An hour before you want to eat (or in the morning too) add corn, black beans and spices. It's effortless and shreds to a delicious taco meat or rice topping.
.
@Bluebird2318 - your Iowa Girl Eats' Sweet, Spicy, Smoky Chili sounds amazing. I'm going to look that one up. I feel like my DH and I would like that. (and maybe his parents if we have them over. ha ha)
@C25 - I love Rotel! your recipe sounds quick and easy
@betsy538 - I'm going to have to try that roast - my DH is a huge beef fan.

@C25 I love making that chicken in the Crockpot. It works for so many recipes. Sometimes I put just plain chicken breast in and you can split it up to make tacos, enchiladas, or even chicken salad.
@betsy538 I am going to try this roast recipe. Sounds like the epitome of comfort food!
@mecoats I've been getting acne too. What's up with that?!
@sammajane19 good luck at your appointment! Telling work was a huge relief for me.
@ihateusernames* Any requests for certain types of recipes? breakfast/lunch/dinner?
How big is baby: navel orange
Upcoming appointments: none
Any new symptoms or changes: yes I have gotten the occasional heartburn. Definitely have even bigger boobs which DH loves ( I'm an A cup normally), bump is looking more pronounced
Rants/Raves: feeling excited about all the cute baby things on my baby registry, love my yankee candles, I got one that smells like cake another that smells like coffee, burn them at the same time the whole house smells like cake amd coffee
GTKY:slow cooker recipes: I got a betty crocker chili recipe that has gone well, I need more slow cooker recipes though
or any of your faves! I love the roast you recommended!!! I usually do a chicken like that but I'll try roast next time.
I am 13 weeks, and baby is a lemon, which seems smaller than last weeks plum?? Right? Weird
I have no new appointments till the end of the month because I requested to go every 6 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. (I have no babysitters so I want to go as little as possible, even though I love my midwife)
my only new symptoms is that alongside nausea I have boughts of ravenous hunger. So they kind of take turns controlling me lately.
I got a Douglas fir essential oil and I mix it with a few others and have a perfect fall scent in my house! @disneybaby84 you made me think of this with your comment on candles! I love my fall scents and being pregnant only makes them stronger
my slow cooker recipes are pretty similar to the above mentioned ones; tacos, chili, chicken but I'm looking at trying the slow cooker Mac and cheese sometime soon!!!
also I am craving broccoli soup! Anyone have a good recipe for creamy cheesy broccoli soup?

More RLP this week and also cramping. I had a lot with my daughter as well, but it still makes me anxious. Trying to remind myself it's most likely because the babe is growing lots.
Paula Deen (opinions about her aside) has an INCREDIBLE crock pot mac and cheese. I just omit the egg and find its creamier and a bit runnier that way.
Mmmmm.... Might have to change dinner plans now.....
@ihateusernames* I just got into essential oils about 6 months ago and Douglas fir is on my list to order soon.
@disneybaby84 oh man, pregnancy acid reflux is no joke. I had it a bit a few weeks ago and now it's gone again. For now.....

@Bluebird2318 Congrats on 15 weeks! I’m sure that is exciting!
@C25 Sorry you are having problems sleeping! Also, your slow cooker recipe sounds YUM! I love spicy Mexican food so that sounds right up my alley. Might have to try that…
@betsy538 Good luck at your appointment tomorrow! Also sound like we use a similar recipe for crock pot roast. The only difference in one I use is I add in a few more spices and some sliced mushrooms and onions. Put the final product over some mashed potatoes and it’s divine! Good pick!
@mecoats Sorry you are dealing with pregnancy acne. It blows. I’ve been slowly breaking out of the last few weeks and I feel like every section on my face has something going on now. No fun! Also, Buffalo Chicken sounds yummy.
@sammajane19 Good luck at your appointment tomorrow!
@jadkins17 Hope your appointment went well today!
@lindsey2017 LOL at the house mouse from Ovia. Not your typical baby size reference. Hope your test results come back good!
@disneybaby84 I love Yankee Candles. My favorite is Christmas Cookie. It smells good enough to eat and doesn’t bother my sinuses.
@ihateusernames* I agree with your assessment of the plum versus lemon. Apparently I’m not good with general references or the fruit at my local grocer is oddly sized. Also, slow cooker Mac and Cheese is YUM!
@ngcsugirl1112 Glad to hear the Harmony test results came back good! And good luck with your talk with DH. I saw your MBF post about your MIL… that is too much to put up with for another 6 months. Hopefully he will get it this evening and take the necessary steps to get your MIL to cool her jets.
@julievdm12 I use Paula Deen’s Broccoli Casserole recipe as a base for how I make mine. She does have some good recipes. I might have to go look up her crock pot mac and cheese and see what that’s about. It’s hard to go wrong with pasta and warm cheese.
How far along are you: 13 weeks
How big is baby: lemon
Upcoming appointments this week: Had an appointment yesterday. Got an impromptu ultrasound. It’s always nice when you get to actually see the baby.
Any new symptoms or changes: More acne and RLP. I’m really hoping the acne goes away soon. It’s frustrating.
Rants/Raves: Why is it that when you have a short week due to a holiday, the week always feels longer? Maybe it’s just me and I got too used to be off from work but… is it Friday yet?
GTKY: favorite slow cooker recipes? Hmm I usually either make a roast (similar to @betsy538 ‘s) or use it to free up oven space –i.e. crock pot chicken vs roasted chicken. I recently did a slow cooker maple ham that was a hit with the family. Put diced pineapples and ham in slow cooker. Cover with a mix of maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, dijon mustard and pepper. And cook for 4-5 hours on low. Then when you plate the ham, you can reduce some of the remaining liquid to make a glaze or sauce for the ham. It was pretty tasty.

ps @ngcsugirl1112 I hear yeah on the MIL. someone very close to me is like this. She's into sales too so this blurs into her spiritual life a bit. If you don't agree to convert when she asks you to "pray the prayer" she takes it personally and wonders where she went wrong in her sales pitch/ evangelism
@lindsey2017 I love love love skinnytaste.com! It is my go-to place for everything!
How far along are you: 12 weeks
It's a skinnytaste recipe! If you've ever had Cafe Rio's sweet barbacoa pork it tastes nearly identical!!
