Pregnancy Favorites

A little update on my pregnancy:

Uncomfortable... YES!

Tired... YES!

Ready to be done... YES!

Life is crazy and I am trying hard to keep busy, which I am doing. And the time is going relatively fast, but these last few weeks of pregnancy are a killer. I am enjoying my time with Connor as he relishes his last weeks as the solo Stanger child. We are happy and healthy and all in all doing extremely well.

I thought I would share a few of my favorites during this pregnancy like I did last time around. So these are the things that make the top of my list, for daily favs!

Chap-stick and Lotion
...for all the dryness that comes with pregnancy



Bella Band
...for keeping my tummy supported and my pants up

Roasted Asparagus

This is my favorite meal to make lately, it is so easy and I have cravings for asparagus all the time. So it is at least weekly and sometimes I wish it was daily. Connor loves the salmon and especially asparagus so he snipes large portions of this meal too. 

Lemon Garlic Oven-Roasted Salmon with Asparagus

Salmon fillets

Asparagus bunch

1-2 tbsp. olive oil

Shredded parmesan

Salt and pepper, to taste

Garlic salt, or 1-2 minced cloves

Lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 400. Lightly drizzle baking pan(s) with olive oil. I use a separate pan for asparagus and salmon.

2. Wash your asparagus and snap (don’t slice!) the ends off. Put asparagus in a med size bowl and add a tbsp. of olive oil; season with salt and pepper (and garlic salt). Mix lightly with your hands. Lay the asparagus on the pan and sprinkle with parmesan.

3. Season both sides of salmon fillets with garlic, salt, and pepper and any extra seasoning you want (I use Basil, Oregano, and Parsley). Then place your fillets on the pan.

4. Pour a little lemon juice over both pans.

5. Then I put both pans in the oven. Salmon for 9 mins and asparagus for 12mins, depending on how you like it cooked.

Blue Powerade

... drink of choice, all the time!

Snickers Ice Cream Bars
...Yum! I have been into lots of frozen chocolate treats this time. I will take a frozen Hershey Bar any day!

AND

Of course what has made this pregnancy go by the fastest is Connor! He makes all the little hard parts worth it, because even though he tackles me and gives me rough love. I look into him and see all that love and happiness and it just makes me all the more excited for the new little fairy princess were about to have.

Plus he is constantly giving me hugs and kisses lately, it makes me think he knows something is about to change.

This is pre-haircut...
