Four Cheese Baked Penne

Super delicious dinner! It is somewhat a wink and a nudge to a fast lasagna. It is also a healthier alternative. Here are some pics from my dinner.

For anyone that is looking for a great soup recipe, here is a great one. If you love Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana soup you will love this mock soup. This soup is hearty and a little rich, but great for cold nights and a change of pace for a soup lover.

Amazing

Friday, Josiah and I went to the doctor and had the amazing experience of seeing our baby. All the sudden there the baby was on the screen. I started to cry immediately, how could you not? After that moment you realize you are "really" pregnant. You become more aware of your body, and are constantly thinking about your baby.

We were in unbelief that the baby was as active as it was. I as not expecting to see it kicking and scratching its face. I told Josiah "it is definitely an Enyart."

What an incredible experience! I can't wait for that moment when I start to feel it kick, and find out if it is a girl or a boy, and then ultimately seeing my baby.

The unexpected

It is interesting when you think that you plan for all the right things then you forget something so important. Well, Josiah and I are covered under insurance, but the insurance we have does not have maternity coverage. Also considering we were able to get pregnant faster than we thought we didn't have time to change our coverage.

So we are in the process of finding something that is affordable and has good coverage. Some of the policies that we are looking out have a 12-24 month waiting period...umm pretty sure that the baby will be here in seven months.

We know that something will come up and we will have "coverage" of some sort.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that we will resolve this issue.

Ummm....food please!

I am pretty sure that I have eaten everything but the kitchen sink this past week. I am not sure if I am experiencing "cravings" per say, but I definitely left Walmart this weekend with a big jar of pickles, which I could have eaten while finishing the rest of my shopping. But I refrained until I was home putting the groceries away. And with today being Wednesday, I think that the jar is half full now...hehe!

I am not sure if I am trying to eat the same portions that I use to or what, but I am in a constant state of hunger it seems. I am eating three meals with two snacks during the day, which is how I usually eat. Maybe I need to increase my portion size.

I am trying to not obsess about my weight and size, considering that I am pregnant. But I am just not use to stuffing my face the way that I am lately. I have not gained any weight and my clothes still fit. I am only 8 weeks along, but it is hard to "feel" pregnant right now, so maybe that is why I am in a way trying not to over eat. The real reality has not set in.
