Eats and Birthday Plans

Hey All, I hope you are having a fabulous week! Did you get your copy of Crazy Sexy Diet yet? #1 on Amazon and as of yesterday: SOLD OUT! But don't worry, you can still get a copy at Barnes and Noble or your bookstore, and the second printing is being processed so Amazon should have it restocked soon! 
Speaking of Crazy Sexy Diet, green smoothie time: apple, spinach, romaine, almond milk, celery. Yum!
One night for dinner, T picked up a soup from Whole Foods for me. This was an ancient harvest soup, vegan and gluten free, but really not good! I am not a fan of peppers in soup. Yuck.
More "Lauren Style" salad: romaine, Sunshine Burger, raw kraut, artichoke hearts. My new favorite dressing is apple cider vinegar, olive oil, a ton of curry powder and Nutritional Yeast. So yummy, I lick the bowl clean! ;)
Another night I had a boxed broccoli soup by Imagine Organic Foods. Those boxed soups are great when you have no time! I added brown rice to it for a little extra boost!
And where has Ginger been? Well, just chillin as always! She really doesn't acknowledge the baby. She just stiffs her sometimes and stares at her when she cries. Ha ha! I am sure when Baby A is old enough to play, it will be a different story.
And finally, T picked me up a big salad for lunch at a new salad place that opened in town! More salad places = Happy Lauren!!! I got romaine, carrots, sun dried tomatoes, sunflower seeds, artichoke hearts, mushrooms and then I added curry powder and Nutritional Yeast.
Tuesday is T's birthday, the big 29!!! Ha ha! I still don't know what to get him. Plus, I haven't been leaving the house! Any ideas?? My birthday is a week from his and I will be 27. We are going to have my parents baby sit for an hour while we grab a quick vegan meal! I am so nervous about leaving the baby with someone besides T, but my mom runs a daycare in her home, so I really don't have to worry. Plus I am going to pump a ton, so baby A will be content!! Also, the Saturday before my birthday, I am going to a pedicure and massage with my mother in law and future sister in law (AKA: my bestie!). We all got gift certificates for Christmas, so I am really looking forward to it! T will be babysitting, I hope I can actually relax! LOL!!! Have a great day all!

I'm so glad you're going to get out a bit.. it's so hard to leave them when they're so young. After my first was born my husband had to PUSH me out the door when he was 9 months.. my second son was born 19 months later and 2 weeks after he was born I started swimming in the afternoon..it was so nice to have that ME time!
