Cookies & Cream Fondue

Tonight was date night for us with John & Rachel! We went to dinner at P.F. Changs-courtesy of gift cards from Jake's mom, while she watched the girls. I'm not a huge Chinese fan, but there are some things I like. Mainly it's the teriyaki and other sauces they top and mix everything with, but as long as I stick with spicy or fried...I'm good! I wasn't too hungry when we got there (feels like there is no room for anything else in my belly) so I ordered the egg rolls for my meal, we split the lettuce wraps & Jake ordered Changs version of General Tso's chicken-I had a few bites of it. The next P.F. Changs trip, that's what I'll get!

After dinner, John & Rachel came back to our house with their fondue pot & we made some really good cookies and cream chocolate fondue and had it with strawberries, bananas, coconut covered marshmallows, Oreo cookies, and pound cake. We made wayyyy to much, but ate as much as we could before feeling like we were going to explode! We usually do cheese fondue, but we wanted to try fondue as a dessert...I'm in love with an Oreo cookie dipped in chocolate/marshmallow deliciousness! Jake and John both love the cheese fondue, but we literally hurt ourselves every time we do it and its soo good.

We always have so much fun & will probably be doing more 'date nights' once Nora arrives-until then we are enjoying the 'only us' time and staying over at John & Rachel's playing the Wii (our new found love-thanks to Tiff & Ryan) and being up too late.

I'm not pictured...becuase I was already in my pajamas-not becuase I'm taking the picture!

Yes, I've convinced them!

My brother and his girlfriend Beth decided to start a blog yesterday! I've been trying to convince them for a while now since they are an hour away. I used the whole "well, at least we would know what you guys are doing if we didn't get a chance to see each other a lot". It worked!

I'm excited becuase then we will see baby Hunter more-once he makes his appearance in late April or early May.

They are here at "The Southern Life" if you want to check them out! They are new to the blogging world.

Pay Out

We didn't try for the mega millions-we don't really buy lottery tickets. Jake's theory is that we had a better chance of winning by not playing than we did by playing-not sure how that makes sense, but I don't want to spend the money on it either.

We had another pay out this month...Jake is salary + commission at Chase and there is a certain amount of points that you have to get in order to hit automatic "pay out" (nothing too huge, but a good accomplishment since no other banker at his branch did) for the month. This month he was the only banker to do so-which makes me a proud wife! Proud that hes one of the newest bankers there and has still managed to do what the other bankers have been known to do for several years.

Anyway, I just wanted to toot his horn for a minute!

Charlie Horse

Last night I experienced the worst charlie horse in my life! I sat up fast in the bed after stretching my legs-which led to the cramp. It hurt so bad I was talking to myself (Jake was snoozing & didn't even hear me-I was surprised). I had to physically pull my foot down and massage my calf to get it to go away. I can still feel some of the tightness right now! I don't know if it's something that happens a lot during pregnancy, but I've had several killers now since the second trimester. Hoping for no more like the one I had last night though! Any moms or preggos have/had this happen before?
