This week has gone much better than last week. I have been able to cook us a meal every night and even get things done around the house. I’m assuming that my nesting skills have taken their course a little early. The bad news is that my back has been killing me for the past month and a half. Tuesday I took off of work to treat my self to a prenatal spa at The Houstonian Hotel. Let me tell you that it went great and I can’t wait to book another appointment right before Olivia arrives. I was a little nervous that it wouldn’t be as good since I would be laying on my side instead of belly for the massage. The set up that they provided almost had me asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

One word, AMAZING!

After the massage I went home to relax and then concentrated on dinner.

I have been wanting to do a stir fry for a long time but never got around to getting all the vegetables. This was going to be the week where I got everything I needed including the shrimp. You can really use any type of protein in this dish but I just love shrimp. You can also change out the noodles as well but I am a big sucker for lo mein noodles. Any time we get Chinese food I HAVE to get lo mein, no ifs, ands or buts about it I am getting that dish. Hope you enjoy this shrimp lo mein stir fry.

ENJOY!
