Rest

So as I write this I am being lulled by the sound of the washing machine and the dryer, such soothing sounds to me. Weird, I know, but there is no one else in the house right now, and the calm is so refreshing. Daniel and Yahaira just left to go hang out at a friend's house. Daniel was going to go on his own, but then Yahaira asked him, "Daddy, I go to?" Daniel couldn't resist. Aw, how adorable! Heather, David and Olivia went out too (they're staying with us until David deploys next week).

So here I am blogging and eating my yummy salad. My salad really just consists of things I found in my fridge: spinach, tomato, carrot and zucchini. The dressing is a homemade balsamic vinaigrette: some extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and the juice of 1 lime. I have realized that since Daniel's been home, we have not been eating very healthy. I then weighed myself this morning and realized that I've put 17 pounds on during this pregnancy so far, and I'm only half way through! So, so long junk food and hello healthy snacks:) My goal was no more than 25 pounds for the pregnancy, so I'd really better curb the junk food if I still want to stick to it.
