Ranch Chicken Enchiladas- AKA Ranch Taquitos

I got this recipe off Pinterest (of course) and it was a HUGE hit in my house.  It is fairly simple to make and tasted delicious!

I put some boneless skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot in the a.m. and come dinnertime, shredded it up and rolled together the tortillas.  Into the oven for 30 minutes and you have a delightful, ranch filled taste bud fest to devour!

After I had cooked it in the oven, I found the tortillas got crispy and not enchilada-like so we think they are more like taquitos.  We will see how it turns out next time since Max is already requesting this for dinner again.  I just made this last Tuesday.

11 weeks

Baby A3 is a cooking.  Already!  I have barely written in this blog in a while.  It's been so long that when I pull it up my 38 week blog from Simon is still showing!  And he is now 1 year old! 

I have heard that with each baby you have you do less than what you did for the previous kid/kids so I am determined to have the same things for each.  I have little boxes for each of them with all the precious little knick knacks I don't want to get rid of.  I don't do baby books but I have a journal for each of the kids that I write in periodically and I have written weekly blogs for both Dexter and Simon so of course, baby A3 (whom will be further known as Cookie) will have weekly blogs as well. 

My pregnancy so far has been very easy.  Except for mind numbing exhaustion there hasn't been much difference at all.  My body poofed out right away so I have had to suck in my gut for quite some time since people are always giving me the once over to see if I was pregnant yet.  We finally told everyone this past Saturday so it is nice to let it all hang out!

My first cravings were cookies and strawberry cream cheese.  Hence, Cookie's nickname was established.  We will not be finding out the sex again so Cookie will remain his/her nickname until February 14th-ish when baby decides to make his/her arrival.

We had our ultrasound at 10 weeks and that was to establish a firm due date.  I wasn't sure when we got pregnant since I had been breastfeeding but amazingly, we were fairly accurate.  Only a few days off.  There was only one baby in there (thank the Lord) and Cookie was very healthy.  Heartbeat was at 176 and due date was set for Valentines Day.

Max and I both feel that with how easy my pregnancies were the first two times, and with how difficult it will be to get to the doctor now that I do daycare that going every 4 weeks is unnecessary.  We have made our next appointment for 15 weeks and after that will wait until the 20 week ultrasound.  Not sure what our plan of action will be post ultrasound but that is plenty of time away.

Dexter and Simon are 21 months apart and Simon and Cookie will be about 18/19 months apart.  Max and I are on some sort of crazy pills.  We love this little Cookie though already.  Dexter loves to talk to my belly and give it kisses.  It is SO cute.
