Since our family recently became the proud owners of the Ninja Mega Kitchen System, I can tell you we are going to be creating A LOT of delicious smoothies and juices!
Tonight we made our first one and it was DELICIOUS!
Ingredients:
2 cups cut watermelon
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
8 oz apple juice
2 large handfuls of ice
2-3 tbsp Truvia (depending on how sweet you want it)
Directions:
Throw all of the ingredients above in your Ninja or blender and blend it all together.
Pour and enjoy!
To the astonishment of myself, my family, my friends, my doctor and the entire staff at my OBGYN’s office, I am still pregnant.
Here I sit, 37 weeks, 4 days pregnant with baby #5.
I have been having contractions EVERY 8-9 minutes for the last 36 hours.
I haven’t been able to sleep in days.
Late Saturday night, after talking with my Dr. we made a trip to L&D at the hospital with the possibility I was leaking amniotic fluid.
I got all situated in a little exam room and learned that I was dialated to 3 cm however since there was no fluid leaking after I was checked, it was ruled out that I was leaking fluid.
Since I was still dialated and having contractions, I got hooked up to the monitors and was observed.
My contractions continued for hours and were every 3-5 minutes.
This went on and on and on and on and on…..
Without any change.
By 8:30 in the morning and still no change (or sleep) I had enough and had the lovely nurse let my doctor know that I was making the decision to go home, eat and get some sleep.
And I did.
I ate.
And I slept in between contractions.
Yesterday, the contractions continued (and still are) every 8-9 minutes.
I went in to the Dr office for a previously scheduled NST ( non-stress test). Everything with baby’s heartbeat was fine and my contractions were documented.
I came home and have been here since.
Having contractions.
Every 8-9 minutes.
They are not fun.
They are uncomfortable.
The sad thing is that I am getting used to them.
I haven’t slept much since I’m giant and uncomfortable.
I had to kick Alex out of bed about 4:30 this morning so I could take over the bed and try to get comfortable.
And now…..here I sit.
Contracting.
Still pregnant.
And beyond ready to have this baby.
The staff at my OBGYN’s office said they hope to god they do not see me at my next scheduled appointment which is Thursday afternoon.
I am hoping for the same!

This is your chance to enter to win one of the brand new Google Nexus 7 (16GB) tablets that was just announced on July 24th and they began taking orders on July 30th. This tablet which has the best specs currently on the tablet market includes a 7.02” screen which has a 1920×1200 HD resolution which is an incredible 323 PPI.
Dual cameras now with a 1.2MP front facing and 5MP rear facing camera, the new Google Nexus 7 boasts up to 9 hours of active use battery life with it’s 3950mAh battery. It also has Qi compatible wireless charging built in.
Audio on the new Google Nexus 7 includes stereo speakers with surround sound, powered by Fraunhofer. The dual band Wi-Fi supports Wireless a/b/g/n but I would have loved to see Wireless a/c support which exists in the newest routers but client devices are still slow to support.
You also get:
The New Google Nexus 7 in spec is better than the iPad mini in nearly every way including double the pixel resolution, equal in camera quality, 4x as much built in memory and a vastly superior processor. At a price that is still $100 cheaper than the iPad mini.
Thanks to the following sponsors Dragon Blogger, SBABZY, TechWalls, CravingTech, Techetron we are able to co-host this giveaway and one lucky entrant will get a brand new Google Nexus 7 Tablet 16GB.

This giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere over the age of 18 where rules and restrictions apply. See contest rules for details, but if you live outside the U.S. you have a few options, one you can receive $229 cash via Paypal instead of the Google Nexus 7 due to the costs in shipping and limitations in shipping Internationally directly from Google’s site, you could gift it to someone else in the U.S. or if you are willing to pay for shipping I will order the Nexus 7 delivered to me and then ship the device Internationally to you as long as you are covering shipping costs. This will add time to the delivery as it has to ship to me and then ship overseas to you however.
