Still here, still pregnant!

Hi everyone!  Long time, no write!!  The last time I posted, it was the exciting news that I was pregnant!  Well, still prego, but almost to my due date!  According to online, my due date is 12/12; according to the doctors, 12/15.  I'll take 12/12;)  The pregnancy has definitely had its up and downs - lots of nausea and other gross stuff, dizziness, and mucho mucho swelling, but I have loved all the baby movement and will miss that when the baby is "out" :)

I've still been cooking of course, and lots of baking since I've been craving sweets like crazy!  I'm trying to do meals where I don't have to be up and around the kitchen too much because of the swelling, but also trying to make meals I can make extra batches of and freeze for when the baby comes.  So far I've made turkey chili, lasagna, chicken, and pulled pork.  Any suggestions??

I hope to be around more often - crazy that I feel like writing again now when the baby will be here so soon!  I'll leave you with what the craziest thing I've eaten and latest cravings!  Hope you'll all stay in touch and I'm looking forward to getting back to reading your blogs!


Craziest thing I've eaten - mixed cheez its, walnuts, and choc chip morsels in a bowl and ate it with a spoon;)

Fave things to eat/crave lately - skinny skinny onion rings (like from a seafood shack), coffee cake, pumpkin pie, bittersweet chocolate, jubilee roll, lots and lots of cheese, and bagels!  Oh, and shrimp sauce! haha!

Oh - I'm at the point where I'm slightly scared to go anywhere - what if my water breaks at the grocery store?? hehe...I still keep going, though, just hoping it doesn't happen - grocery store, mall (Christmas shopping must get done, and thankfully it almost is!), church, you name it, it would be embarrassing!

When it was close for my cousin to deliver. I didn't want to go out with her anywhere. She kept calling to go to the mall, etc. And am like no way I dont want to be there when your water breaks. She kinda got that from everyone. She told me its not like the baby going to pop out of me. But still. I don't know I kinda avoided her until she txted me to let me know the baby was born and shes in the hospital.

good that your doing great. hope you have a safe and easy labor.
