Yummy chicken and rice dinner!

That is what we had for dinner tonight! One-pot chicken and rice, from this months issue of Everyday Food. It smelled so wonderful while it was cooking! And it tasted even better! Of course I didn't get a picture of the meal after it was finished cooking, we were so hungry after smelling it cook that I forgot to grab the camera!
I was given a subscription of Everyday Foods, by my sister-in-law, for Christmas.
You can also see, in the above picture, that I had my new Rachel Ray Garbage Bowl in use:) And I had to throw in a picture of the pretty red quilted apron that I was wearing while I made dinner. Both were Christmas presents from my mom.
I've been having alot of fun with Photoshop, as you can see. It makes me want to get out and take some more pictures.
We've been busy since getting home, moving around furniture, taking down the Christmas decorations (which is way earlier than what I ever take them down), I made curtains for the garage, and we're getting ready to paint the guest bedroom, bathroom and nursery.
We go for our ultrasound January 20. I'm hoping that this active little one will cooperate and let us find out what it is!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Have a Happy New Year!

Baby Bump at 17 weeks

So finally, here is a picture of my getting bigger by the day baby bump! I feel so huge! I think I was this big the day I gave birth to Morgan, but of course that was 15 years ago! But I still have 5 more months to go. I'm going to be so big, I'll have to find someone else to drive me every where because I have really short legs and I won't be able to reach the pedals! The good thing so far is I've only gained 3 pounds!

I'm getting so excited! We have our ultrasound in January to find out what it's going to be, yay! Then I can start making things, buying things and registering for all those sweet little baby things!

Christmas tree and some big news!

A few pictures of my Christmas decorations so far.

Mr F hung the garland around the door while I was at work yesterday. It needs a little straightening and some lights!

This is my first artificial tree, not sure I like it. Its pretty. But its very thin and unsteady and doesn't have that nice wonderful fresh pine scent. I will have a real tree again one day!

This is one of my most favorite ornaments! It was my dad's mother's. This is my grandmother that Morgan is named after. My mom gave it to me a few years ago for Christmas with a very sappy card that made me cry and makes me cry every year when I open up my Christmas decorations. (I've kept the card and I put right on top of the decorations when I pack them all away so that its the first thing that I see the next year)

Well, I have some very exciting news! Mr F and I are having a baby! Baby F will be here in June. I'm 16 weeks, and dying to know what I'm having! I've been so sick and tired all the time. And I'm absolutely huge! Pictures are to come soon!
