Exciting News!!

We're Pregnant!!!! We couldn't be more excited to share this news!

Here's a rundown of it all for ya!

I found out I was pregnant on Dave's birthday which was awesome! Dave had to be at school early that day so he'd already left when I took the test.. So I had to wait ALL day before I could share the news. I decided I'd wrap the test up as a birthday present and have him open it. I was getting so impatient because he was taking so long to open the other gifts! Finally he got to the last envelope! His reaction was so sweet! "Really?!"

Me: "I think there's a line on there, do you see a line too?!"

Dave: "Yeah, does that mean it's for real?"

Me: "I think so?"

Cue us driving to CVS to get a digital test to take the next morning. I woke up early and took the test, it said to wait 2 minutes and it only took about 20 seconds to show up Pregnant! Woo!! it's official!

Next step was getting the Dr appt and trying to keep it a secret! Let me just say that it's totally unfair how you're not supposed to tell for 12 weeks when those first few weeks you have the worst symptoms! I remember one day sitting at my desk thinking I could easily fall asleep sitting in my desk chair. Or sitting in meetings thinking how nauseous I felt... those were some rough weeks.

 

doing the thinker in the womb.. def gonna be a smart kid.

Due Date: February 28th

Telling my parents!

Keeping it real.. that top pic took us about 30 tries to get right..

I plan on doing bumpdates but I'm too lazy to go back and type them out for past weeks... so here's the pics with no bumpdate to go along with :)

10 weeks was the size of a kumquat so we took a pic by my sister's kumquat tree!

Stay tuned for more!

I feel like I need to let you all know out there to be careful with using the app "Period Tracker" b/c it totally failed me.. So just as a PSA to all of you who aren't quite trying yet, be careful with the app!

Luckily we were trying so all was good! (Ask if you have questions - I'll answer, I just don't feel like typing out all my business here) 

Things I've Bought That I Love - Stolen Title

*Stolen Title from Mindy Kaling's Blog - she's hilarious, I'll attempt to entertain you but I'll get nowhere close to her level..

It's been a while, I know. I promise to come back more regularly as long as you promise to put up with stolen titles and random/nonsense/inconsistent blogging. Deal? Deal.

Moving on. Here are a few things I've bought that I love lately!
LOFT - Tassel Necklace - on sale for $29! 

I seriously stalked this until it went on sale, it's the perfect summer necklace! I wore it to a wedding last weekend and then to a cookout the next night, love the versatility! (I also saw this on E! News after I bought it soooo that means it's good right?)

Got a new iPhone case in San Fran! Obsessed with it! If you follow me on Instagram (username: tinebaugh)- you may remember I bought an ikat case from C Wonder not too long ago, well that one was super cute but it did the weird fuzzy effect when using the camera so I had to kick it to the curb. I tested this one out and it's PERFECT!
Rifle Paper Co - iPhone Case - iPhone4 or iPhone5

Cute new blouse - also from the San Fran trip! We did a lot of shopping :)

Mango - Crossed Back Blouse - On sale! $29

I've had quite the fun time trying to find new shoes... I think my mom and I looked at 25 different places in San Fran... Then I came home and found these at the store down the street. Love them, so comfy and cute.

Sperry - Hayden Loafers - $85

Summery Top from J.Crew on total huge sale! Comes in Navy stripe also, I debated between the 2 for a looong time and finally decided on the pink for reasons I can't remember anymore. (Note: this runs big, I got an XS)

J.Crew Stitchwork Stripe Top - on sale for $49! 

And on a totally unrelated note, I bought Dave a toaster for his birthday. Before you think that's weird, you have to know that he toasts bread in our oven almost everyday and our kitchen is tiny so we really had nowhere to put one. Then I saw this one in my House Beautiful mag and had to have it, so we made room :)

Michael Graves Design Toaster - $60

 

Hope I still have some readers out there! I'll try and keep you loyal folks updated more often from now on! I miss you all!

Quick and Easy Recipe: Pineapple Chicken Salad

I've been failing pretty miserably in the kitchen lately... I'm good for maybe 1 dinner a week.. and I pray that the leftovers will last Dave the rest of the week. (I'm more of a snacker at dinner time) So I've been trying to get outta that habit and looking for quick and easy (and tasty) recipes - here's what's good so far:

Pineapple Chicken Salad Pitas - these totally remind me of Pita Pitt in college! They were a-mah-zing 

Ingredients: 

• 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (about 1 pound)
• 1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrots
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained
• 4 (6-inch) whole wheat pitas, each cut in half
• 8 Romaine lettuce leaves 

 Directions:

Mix everything together except the Pita and Romain lettuce, line each pita with a romaine lettuce leaf and stuff it full of the mixture. Done! Enjoy!

When you take your first bite you'll be like SO happy!

Then you'll be all - hell yeah babe! I cooked!

 

So what about you guys? Got any quick and easy meals for me to add to my ever-growing 1 dinner a week plan?

(ps - if you haven't ever seen Happy Endings - do yourself a favor and get caught up on Hulu now! The new season starts up at the end of March!)

Friday Funnies

I'll always love Jim. But I loved him even more after seeing this part of his interview on Jimmy Kimmel a few weeks ago - the Matt Damon being denied at a liquor store part was awesome.



Also, I've thought Jennifer Lawrence was pretty cool for a while but after seeing her Golden Globes acceptance speech and these gif's I fell head over heels into a girl-crush on her.

Hopefully I'll be back more often with more fun stuff... This is all I've got for now. I miss blogging though - don't worry, I may be down but I'm not out! Don't kick me out of the club yet pleaseeee!

                  not.

Happy Election Day!

I saw this super cute idea on Jodie's blog - she's got some great platforms for when she becomes President. Regardless of who you're voting for, I'm sure we can all agree I've got some good ideas:

If I were President... 

There would be no limit on how long you have to return items, and you wouldn't have to have the receipt.

Tory Burch would dress me and I'd give everyone Reva's on their birthdays!

JCrew would offer free shipping on ALL purchases - not just purchases over $150

Dental school would only take 3 years

Housekeepers would be provided to everyone once a month

Every office would provide free chair massages for everyone in the afternoon

Everyone would get free southwest points to visit their family whenever they want


And of course I'd end bullying, allow gay marriage and free food to poor people and all that good stuff...

Did I miss anything?

Also, I cannot keep this to myself - you all have got to head over to Whitney's blog to see her awesome "Toast - To the Candidates? As if!" Here's a preview - trust me you want to see the whole thing!

"Excuse me, but I have donated many expensive Italian outfits to Lucy, and as soon I get my license, I fully intend to brake for animals, and I have contributed many hours to helping two lonely teachers find romance."

"Do you prefer 'fashion victim' or 'ensembly challenged'?"

Go to Whitney's blog and read the rest now!

What's on my DVR

It's fall and that means all the new good TV is on! And I watch a lot of it! - seriously, people ask me what I do while Dave studies in the evenings... my usual answer is that I watch a lot of TV and it's nice not having to fight over the remote. (what will I do when he graduates? - that's a problem for another day)

Here's what I'm watching - with my opinions sprinkled in!

Sunday:
The majority of Sunday is spent watching NFL RedZone - I signed up for an all girls fantasy football team this year and I'm actually pretty into it. I think it's b/c my team is awesome - I'm in first place. NBD. (even though the girl I played this week started 3 guys that were injured... it still counts)

Sunday nights - RHOA just started - it's not my fave RH franchise but I love me some Nene.

Monday:
Cannot wait for the premier of RHOBH tonight!!! I wonder how Adrienne's divorce will play out... I thought their bickering was kind of cute in the beginning, then it got a little weird. Kyle and Lisa are still my faves. I wish Camille was still an "official cast member" I read she'll just have a supporting role.

Tuesday:

Happy Endings - Favorite show right now! - everyone please start watching! It's the new friends but SO much funnier! In case you need some convincing - watch this clip:

The Mindy Project - watched a couple times, pretty funny, loved her book so I'm giving this show a chance.

Wednesday:
Modern Family - duh - loved this show since the beginning, although I do think that Claire needs to eat a few chili cheeseburgers - sometimes her thinness is distracting.

Nashville - LOOOVE! Thank goodness Connie Britton got off of American Horror Story - she's amazing and I don't do horror. I look forward to this show the most every week!  (Maybe b/c I have a date with a friend to watch it every week but also  b/c it's Amazing!)

Thursday:
Lots of good shows on Thursdays(we usually save a few of these for the weekend or Monday) - I'll rank them in order of my faves:

First - The League - see above - obsessed with Fantasy Football and this show's humor reminds me of most of the guys Dave and I hang out with. (don't judge)

 

Second - Parks and Rec - Ron Swanson and Aziz Ansari. Enough said.

Third - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - weird humor - but Charlie has my stomach hurting from laughter most episodes. If you watch it then you get it.

Fourth - Real Housewives of Miami - these girls know how to bring the crazy! I don't really have a favorite on this one, I think the cast is a little too large to really get to know any of them, but maybe that's what they're going for on Miami? (I'm not sure any of them are likable if you see them for over 10 minutes)

Fifth - The Office - been watching this since the 1st season so we've got to finish it out, I'm excited to hopefully see Jim move onto bigger and better things and I still hope that Angela's baby is Dwight's.

Friday:
Shark Tank - makes me want to invent something and become bff's with Mark Cuban. We usually watch this earlier the next week b/c we're never home Friday evenings.

So what am I missing? Or what all are you watching? Please tell me I'm not the only one with this many shows in their weekly lineup...

Fall Shopping

If I'm good for anything it's a post about shopping. Let's get down to business shall we?

I always find it hard to pick shoes in the fall/winter. I own 6 pairs of boots that I still love to wear but some days I don't want boots and my only other closed toe shoes (since I decided I'm over Sperry's) are my TB Revas, which you cannot wear with socks. My office is fah-reezing, so cold that I had to smuggle in a contraband space heater. (If you tell on my I'll cut you) So basically I'm left with boots everyday.

I've recently started liking the looks of sneakers with casual-wear.

Apparently this trend has been going on for a while... this was in Vogue last fall. But in typical Oklahoma fashion we're a year or two behind.

Not sure the MC Hammer pants on #5 will ever make it to Oklahoma and I'm OK with that.
I'm thinking this is the type of outfit I'd rock them with the most:

Dark gray thermal, skinnies, navy loop scarf with gray boots - would love to replace with new sneaks.

So, I've narrowed my choices down, please tell me which you think I'd be able to wear most!
I love the light neon yellow on these and the gray is neutral so I could wear them with a lot.

ASICS - Tiger Serrano - on Sale! 

or

ASICS - Tiger California - not on sale but the red would be good to have for gameday..

What do you think of the look? Do you have any other good ideas for winter footwear that doesn't involve boots?
