I just cook up a homemade tortilla (available everywhere for purchase around here and so Delish!), top it with a ton of lettuce, some kind of beans, tortilla strips and this YUM chipotle ranch salad dressing. Voila - Yummy salad. I am also obsessed with the Chili's Buffalo Chicken Salad and beg Al to take me to Chili's every weekend for our date night. I don't even really like the food at Chili's but this is totally hitting the spot for me. Other great salads are the Luau salad from Cheesecake Factory and I've even hit The Olive Garden a couple times for their salad (and I HATE the O.G.). So there you have it, random pregnancy craving.
Ok, this is SO my new best friend:
Yep, I took the plunge (with strong encouragement from Al) to rent a doppler for this pregnancy. I've had it for a few weeks now and I LOVE it. It is such a nice peace of mind. I only wish I would have gotten it even earlier. It is so fun listening to Baby Girl's heartbeat every day. The kids get such a kick out of it too. And apparently word is getting out that I have one because all the pregnant girls in my ward have started calling to come over and use it. So FUN!
Finally, last night as we were getting ready for bed, I mentioned to Al how pregnant I am already looking. He said, "Yeah, you are way more huge with this baby than you were with the other ones." Gulp. Thanks. It's true though. I hate to see where I'll end up with this one, though I've only gained about 5 pounds so far. I'm still totally wiped out by the end of the day and am out cold on the couch most night by about 9. I'd love to get the 2nd trimester energy boost one of these days. Heaven knows the paint situation in my house could really benefit from some late night painting sessions!

I can't believe that I'm the first to comment on your highly visited blog. I feel so special!!! Well the kids are darling, the salad does look awesome, and if I were going to have any more babies I would be calling you also (Sad)
Love ya tons!
Your salad looks delish! I have a somewhat similar homemade taco salad I make that I love. And I hear you - I think I was bigger with each baby. With Lucas, strangers were always telling me - at 7 months no less! -that I looked ready to have that baby any day! Enjoy your doppler.
Ok, so when I was pregnant with Lily I was eating grilled cheese sandwiches every day, sometimes more than one. I was putting 3-4 slices of american cheese on each sandwich. So when I was complaining about my weight gain, my husband just had to point out how much fat and cheese I was actually injesting. (gross, I know) So I think it's great that you are craving salads. And I am sure you look great. Especially if you have only gained about 5 pounds. I love that you have a doppler. Fun!
I can't believe how big your kids are!! So cute! And that doppler machine is such a great idea - I didn't even know you could rent them! Now I'll know for future reference and congrats on another girl. At least you won't have to make all new bows - you can just save all the ones you have. The joys of hand me downs!
What a yummy thing to crave! I'll have to try your salad. Sounds yummy.
I'm a huge believer in the doppler. Saved me so much stressing!
Your salad looks sooo good. Where did you find your dressing?
Loved having a doppler too, my only regret was that I didn't just buy it when I was preggo with H. It's a must have at this house! Enjoy that magical sound!
