Belly Circumference

Today I looked down and saw that my stomach was protruding more than usual.  Curious, I pulled out my measuring tape.  At 13 weeks, my belly is now 33 3/4 inches.  Whoa.  I'm slowly becoming my own planet.

I'm now recording my circumference every week to make a lovely belly graph.  
First data point:  (13, 33.75)

Ugly cute

Look at what we found in the grocery store:
Are they rotten?  Isn't someone supposed to toss bad produce out? 

Apparently they're supposed to look this way and they taste like a mixture between grapefruits and oranges. I guess you can't tell a piece of fruit from its cover.

Mix ins

This morning I woke up and felt inspired. So I scrounged around the cupboard and found some items to add into my Saturday morning pancakes.

Walnuts, bananas, oatmeal, craisins, and oreos, oh my!

The fruit of my labor:
Oreo pancake- is it eaten for breakfast or dessert?

Though the process was immensely enjoyable, the products varied in quality.
  • Banana and walnut pancakes- Tasty but my bananas looked mushy
  • Oatmeal and craisin pancakes- The oatmeal added an interesting gritty texture 
  • Oreo pancakes- Sadly, they just tasted like an oreo dropped in pancake batter
