I just finished a bowl of Cocoa Puffs Chocolate Cheerios, this is where I combine Chocolate Cheerios with Cocoa Puffs into one beautiful bowl of cereal and I eat it, happily. I enjoy the two textures and the slight differences of flavors together.
It’s a beautiful union.
Speaking of food, this week I was able to enjoy a Buffalo Chicken Ranch sandwich from Chili’s. I had only had a bite or two of one before in my life and it didn’t really do anything for me. But this pregnancy, I seem to enjoy THE HOT AND SPICY, the spicier, the better and could not get one of those sandwiches off of my mind.
On Monday, I looked at Brian with big, puppy dog eyes and said “honey, darling, sweetest husband in the world, you know I rarely play the pregnancy craving card but I must have a Buffalo Chicken Ranch sandwich from Chili’s as soon as possible, or else I’m certain I will die.”
He smiled and said “whatever you want.”
So off we went and when my plate arrived in front of me, my mouth? IT WATERED. And I ate every last bit of that sandwich and can not wait to have another.
Like soon. Maybe now. Also, would love a beer with it. YES. A BEER.
I need to change directions, food is way too important to me right now and I can’t seem to focus on anything else…let’s see what else is going on? Pubic bone pain, not sleeping, backaches, bursts of energy, allofthedischarge, swollen feet, not sleeping, NST’s, Braxton Hicks …
hmmmm…
there is a baby who is going to be living with us in just a few short weeks. Last night, the four of us were hanging out in the baby’s unfinished-but-soon-to-be-finished nursery. The kids were playing catch with a hippo (not a real hippo, I stuffed one), Brian was laying on the floor and I was sitting on the glider. I said “friends, do you realize that in three weeks from today, our family of five could be hanging out in this very room….TOGETHER?”
It was an exciting thought. (actually, exciting feels like such an obvious word … it was a beautiful thought. Amazing. Magical.
Forget it. There is not a word to describe it.
We just can’t wait to bring him home and create our life as a family of five.
I leave you with a picture of the three of us, while watching TV one night.
I just bought Chocolate Cheerios for the first time yesterday!!! Very tasty!!! HEHE!!
I love Friday cups of coffee with you!! What a way to start a day;)
I adore the sandwich form Chili’s. There are not words to describe my love for it…
The excitement is contagious! I don’t know if you can feel the excitement that is coming from so many people! Such a gift you are giving us all by sharing this with us all…
You are so sweet. Wouldn’t it be fun if everyone could come over for coffee and donuts and we could just chat ALL DAY?
You are so beautiful and stunning and glowing.
Also, beer. Mmmmmmmmm.
Happy sigh for your family of five.
Oh, and usually I’m jealous of your breakfast, but today I had a piece of lemon meringue pie followed by a piece of apple pie. So no jealousy here.
Enjoy those last days of food tasting so good. Both times I have been pregnant food has never tasted so good. After I am done being pregnant, it just never tastes so good anymore! One of the joys of pregnancy!
what a wonderful moment you guys shared in the nursery…the first of many.
I like your Party of Five so much better then the old TV show! Happy Friday Beth!
Mmmmmm…..must get Chocolate Cheerios immediately. Didn’t even know they existed until just now, so thanks for that
mmm….your cereal recipe sounds great!! Love the picture of you guys on the couch, these are the kind of photos to be treasured!! And, I also also craved a beer when I was pregnant also
You are a pro at cereal combos…makes me want to try some that way.
So looking forward to the joy your new little man will bring!
Also, I LOVE that photo of you and the kids…so sweet.
What a wonderful, happy, happy thought! I’m excited for you.
I really enjoyed your post. That picture at the end made me smile. I am so excited for all of you and I don’t even really know you. (-:
Beth..you are so cute..I love reading your posts..You always put a smile on my face…Waiting on that birth of that beautiful baby boy…..
Love the excitement, and the magic going on with you and your family!
I must say during one of my pregnancy’s the spicy foods were a must have and somehow, that craving never left! But the beer is so good with the spicy, your right! SOON!
You are so stinkin’ beautiful, inside and out.
CHOCOLATE CHEERIOS? Want! They sound delicious! Lately I’ve been mixing my plain Cheerios with Fruit Loops. It’s the perfect amount of sugar in my cereal!
I love that shot of the three of you! And I love that you call your family “Friends”.
And, DUDE! Less than 3 WEEKS!!
I have yet to try the chocolate Cheerios. I was so disappointed by another variation of cheerios that I haven’t really gone beyond the honey nut.
Also, love the pic of the three of you. You are glowing.
I can’t wait to meet your new little man.
xo
that was lovely…oh I had forgotten about those cravings…you have to give in to them though or they will never go away…i say enjoy the food now, your mind will be on other things soon enough!
You are adorable and you absolutely do NOT have 12 chins. Take good care of yourself — three weeks isn’t much time!
I totally get the Chili’s cravings since I’m the same way about their steak fajitas. I could eat them daily. Only I’m not pregnant. And this is not a good thing.
Can’t wait for you to have your family of five hanging out together at home.
It IS a beautiful thought!
And BTW, chocolate Cheerios are my newest addiction!
I can also only seem to think of food at this point in my pregnancy too
….so on a major pizza craving I took the kids to chuck e cheese….I am not sure if they even had a slice of the large pizza but it disappeared….then I noticed the ice cream machine with strawberry scooter crunches in it…oh boy what was I thinking 
Watching movies on the couch with the 4 of us, we also can;t help but feel the excitement that there will soon be 5
And old navy maternity yoga pants rock! Well, I have been rocking the same pair for 9 months and they are still holding up!
you are beautiful! i don’t see 12 chins but i know they feel like they are there! i am so thrilled for your little family to go from 4 to 5. i can’t tell you how wonderful the chaos can be but i can tell you that you will LOVE it!
you might want to think about playing that pregnancy card at least a few more times in the next few weeks. i say use it for a dq treat!!
Loving the notes you attached to your picture
Go spicy! Some days, I feel like I could eat a whole jar of jalapenos. And kudos to your husband for saying just the right thing. =>
Love that picture and I know what you meant about the cravings ~ only I did play that card
!!
Your cocoa cereals are starting to intrigue me…
I’ll bring some beer right now. Send Brian out for some sandwiches and we’ll have a party.
You look amazing. So beautiful and glowly. I wish I could climb on to the couch with all of you and snuggle up. All day long.
Oh I am craving chocolate cereal right now (although I am more of the Cocoa puffs variety.) You look beautiful cuddled up!
I’ve been dutifully avoiding bringing chocolate cereal into the house. I may never eat anything else again if I do.
He is gonna be here SO soon! SQUEE! Y’all are the sweetest lounging together. Hope Noah is better.
I’ll go to Chili’s with you today or anytime you’re up for it!!
Steph
Isn’t it funny the things you crave when preggo! I hardly ever played that card either, but when it hits, it’s so urgent!
Great pic of you and your kiddos. Take care.
First of all, I love the pictures!
And I too, love thinking about your family after B day. You’re right. It is so magical.
Okay, first of all: you are crazy and do NOT have 12 chins. LOL!! you look great and that’s such a sweet picture with your family
also, i think it’s wonderful that your hubby is more than happy to make you happy in your hour of need. i can’t wait to read all about your newest addition to the family and wish you the best of luck in the weeks ahead!
I don’t see all those chins you are counting! All I see is a beautiful, pregnant woman!! You are gonna be a wonderful family of 5!!
you and your littles are darling on that couch. you look fantastic, beth. really, really happy. i’m so glad.
BEER! Currently my brother should be sitting on a beach in Guatemala having one for me…just doesn’t taste the same if you can’t actually taste it.
The things we give up for our sweet babies.
I love that picture! 14 days is so soon. I hope you are taking it easy! Good luck these next couple of weeks.
Love that picture. It will be such a sweet memory to have in later years!
Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi! (and good luck with the baby!!)
I’ve been a lurker on your blog, but I believe we are just about neighbors. I’ve been chatting with some other NWI gals on twitter. curious where exactly you are. i just moved back to the “Region” after being out east for 8 years. but I grew up here. anyway, just wanted to say hi and hopefully in the near future, us bloggers can meet up sometime!!
did my last comment go through?
You’re the second person who has mentioned the chocolate cheerios being good. I know my girls and I will love them. I’ll just have to buy a box soon!
