Good mornin’! Do you have big plans on this fine Saturday? The husband and I (when he finally gets his bones out of bed, that is) are going to do some shopping today for a very special person: my mom!

This gorgeous woman is having a birthday tomorrow, and only the perfect gift will do for one of my best friends! Luckily, my mom is a lady who knows what she wants, and has already dropped some hints on present ideas for us. I have to say, I am definitely just like her on that one (and in many other ways!) — my Christmas list had the exact link to a pair of boots I wanted, with color specified. Ha Ha!

I may have to do a little shopping for myself today as well. As pregnancy goes, my clothes are starting to get, well, snug. My shirts and jeans are fine, but a lot of my business pants are getting tight in the waist. They still zip and button, but I feel like I have a muffin top 24/7. I’ve read that this is perfectly normal at the stage I’m at in my pregnancy, so I’m going with it. Won’t be long until I’m browsing the maternity section…yay!

I figured I better eat a good breakfast that would get me through all this retail running around, so I made an amazing bowl of oats:

In the mix:

• 1/2 each of organic oats, low-fat milk and water
• dash of salt
• one small banana
• tablespoon of all-natural peanut butter
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• Scoop of Living Harvest Hemp Protein Powder

So yummy, and I am super full! I also had a mug of plain tea, and my “horse” pill. Ha!

This huge green pill is my prenatal vitamin, and the white is a Vitamin D supplement. (I found out last year I was deficient in D.) I’m actually going to pick up a prescription for a new prenatal that has more D in it today, and they aren’t as big as these!

A nutritious morning meal!

I better get moving if I want to get in a workout before heading out to the mall. I think today is going to be Summer Sanders Prenatal Workout DVD. It’s a good one!

Have a wonderful Saturday!
