Myrtle Beach 2010, Revisited

Last week, we were in Myrtle Beach. Here are a few pictures of our trip. I am also going to post a review of our condo and the places we ate later this week!

First sighting of the beach:

First vacation to the beach!
If you look closely, you can see we are all very, very suburned:

Back to Menu Planning!

Shortly after getting our positive pregnancy test, I succumbed to the first trimester nausea and exhaustion. I could hardly bring myself to cook let alone meal plan or grocery shop smartly. Now that I am into my second trimester and our focus has become saving for the bean, I am committed to shopping more frugally while enjoying the delicious flavors of the season. This week's menu is a wing-it one, and I am using as much from our pantry as possible. We just returned from Myrtle Beach and payday is not until Friday, so we are making due!

Monday: Pancakes
Tuesday: Taco Junk
Wednesday: Spaghetti and salad
Thursday: Pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes and carrots
Friday: Not sure yet...it is my big grocery-shopping day.

Pregnancy, Weeks 13 and 14

Still not sure if I have a bump or if I look kind of pregnant because I am just chubby...

Here I am at Week 13:

And Week 14 in Myrtle Beach!

This is a weird in-between stage. I don't look pregnant but feel more than just chubby because I can no longer suck in the tummy. I can't wait to wake up one morning and have a certified baby bump!

Being a Beach Bum!

Just wanted to let my readers know (hi Heather!) that all is well! We are in Myrtle Beach right now until the weekend, and since I am out of the first trimester and feeling a MILLION times better, once I return I will be back to regular posts!

I have lots to catch up on, including belly pics and some reviews of what we did in Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately, we are ALL very sunburned, so finger's crossed we can enjoy a day on the beach again!
