Today is my official due date!… plus a Chicken Cacciatore recipe

| 2 Comments

Today is officially my pregnancy DUE DATE 12/17/13… but I am happy to say that my little Ava arrived 12 days early. What I’ve learned from pregnancy is that your due date means pretty much NOTHING, it’s just a guess. About 33% of babies are born early, 33% are born late and 33% on their date. There’s no predicting, and I can honestly say that Ava taught me to be more patient. She arrived when she was ready and there was really nothing I could physically do to change that.  Some of us like to be in control, have a schedule, and a set plan, but there are things that are beyond our control and I can really understand that now!

Now onto things WE CAN CONTROL …. eating healthy and exercising :) 

Last night I made my version of a healthy Chicken Cacciatore . With only 5 ingredients, this recipe is super easy to whip up last minute. You might even have most of the ingredients on hand.
