Baby Name

So Mitch and I originally wanted to keep our sweet baby boys name a secret. Turns out we are to excited to keep our lips sealed.So I wanted to publicly share the name we have decided on.

William Ezra  

William is after my Uncle Bill. He was a great uncle to me and my brothers. I remember him always watching Barney with me and playing with cars with my brothers. Sadly he died some time ago. He was in a fight where he got punched in the nose and died instantly. So here is a nice PSA: do not teach your children that it is okay to punch people in the nose, they could kill someone. Also don't go punching people in general its not nice.

Anyways as for the middle name Ezra,  I just always thought it was a very nice name. 

We looked up the meaning of both names 

and the meaning of his name is:

Protection and help

and the origin of each:

William - German

Ezra - Hebrew

What do you think of this name? I hope it fits him well, we have other names but this one is the most special and this little man growing inside me is the most special to us.

Fall off the bone Ribs

July 4th is literally around the corner. Like its on Saturday! So I wanted to share with you all my recipe for delicious Baby back ribs! They are so easy and go great with grilled corn and salad.  

Now I will admit that I am kind of a rib snob. I grew up on my daddy's ribs and OMG they are amazing. I can only get close to his masterpiece. I love going home to my dads ribs cause I know that he m=will make just enough for Mitch and I to take some home. In fact the last visit to Arizona was for my baby shower, which was catered by my daddy who made 16 racks of ribs, a 20 pound beef brisket and a turkey all cooked on a huge smoker. It was great! We drove home with 2 rack of ribs in which we are only having for great days or special occasions. 

Enough about how great of a cook my dad is, here is a much easier version os pork ribs that just fall off the bone:

Easy Pork Ribs

·         1 rack of pork baby back ribs

·         1 small apple (thinly sliced)

·         ¼ medium onion (thinly sliced)

·         ½ tablespoon ground mustard

·         1 teaspoon sage

·         1 teaspoon chili powder

·         1 teaspoon celery salt

·         2 tablespoons brown sugar

·         A couple grinds of black pepper and salt

·         ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

·         ½ cup apple juice

·         2 tablespoons canola oil

·         BBQ sauce of your choice

1.      Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.      On two long sheets of tin foil, place the apples and onions spread out evenly.

3.      Place the ribs on top. Drizzle the canola oil on top of everything.

4.      In a small bowl mix ground mustard, sage, chili powder, celery salt, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt. Rub mix onto the ribs.

5.      Fold foil up and pour in the apple cider vinegar and apple juice. Completely cover over with rest of foil.

6.      Bake for two hours.

7.      Once baked, place on grill for approximately two to three minutes on each side on medium heat. Brush each side with BBQ sauce.

8.      Let sit for a couple of minutes. Rough chop the ribs and serve.

Well there you have it! Try this recipe out and let me know how it taste you!

Bumpdate - 31 weeks (kinda) small post

SO its been just over 13 weeks since I last posted. I had a lot of fears and still do but its changes. I feel this little one all the time and LOVE it! 

So here is the things you missed in the last 13 weeks:

1. ITS A BOY!!!

Mitch and I could not be happier that our first bundle of joy is going to be a little boy. He is already so loved and spoiled. 

2. My new fears:

-labor

-bring him home and having no clue what to do

-not being able to provide for him

3. Joys:

-feeling my little wiggle worm most of the time.

-seeing the look on Mitchs face when he sees or feels the baby move and when he is in the nursery

4. The Nursery 

Its almost done which is great! All we need is to get the glider and the room is done. I plan on doing a separate post about it later once all is complete 

That pretty much it. My next doctors appointment is on Tuesday. I might do a blog post that day. I really want to try to do at least once a week posting. I might do more with recipes and other stuff. No promises though because we all know that I get to distracted and don't post. But I am also aware that there  friends and family out there that I do not talk to on a daily or even weekly bases. 

Thats all I am going to post for now. Like I said I am going to try to post at least once a week, if not more. We will see. I love you all!
