All my bags are packed....

...I'm ready to go!  The doc said I was "almost 3cm" on Thursday, and she even asked how close I live to the hospital. She keeps hinting that when I go into labor, it could be quick. So....  Jon told me to pack a bag. I hate packing for any occasion, but this is the worst. What will I feel like?  What will the weather be?  When my maternity wardrobe is limited to begin with, how am I supposed to pack a going home outfit and other comfy clothes for lounging at the hospital?  I honestly have no idea what I packed for either Jaeden or Mya, so it's like starting from scratch. And shoes?  I only fit into my flip flops, and I only have 2 pair of those. So those can't go in the bag either. I suppose I will just have to wear home what I wore there :). Thank goodness this is the last time ;-).

Anyway, everything is day by day.  I got a bikini wax, a pedicure and a haircut. My last scheduled day at work is Thursday.  My bags are packed and the car seat is ready (wiped down and newborn insert put in). I have receiving blankets in the wash, but I didn't take those with either of the girls.  Oh well, if those don't make it into a bag.

I am pretty excited and have been for a while. It gets a whole lot more real when the doc says 3cm. I know I could be there for a while, but both Jaeden and Mya were early.  And I can feel a lot happening. Hopefully it's not just wishful thinking!

Long story short is I have no idea about a menu.  I am kind of distracted!  I loved your menu last week by the way. Especially Hamms. I thought you made a typeo and meant Ham. HA!

I hope you are enjoying your vaca.  Say hi to Paul!!

not creative enough for a title - very tired.

Celebration weekend!! I'm down 10 pounds since August 8th from watching my calories and carbs and my diabetes levels are way down back to the normal range.  Wahoo for me!!!! :) I took the weekend to celebrate with lots of cookies, donuts, milk, etc.  

Menu for this SHORT week!  Paul and I leave for vacation on Thursday to Tofte, MN.  Pretty excited.  Boys are staying with Grandma and Grandpa J.  

Monday:  Left over stew I made yesterday.

Tuesday: Something easy like Spaghetti - 

Wednesday:  Cauliflower crust pizza (wish me luck on this one - its a new recipe and I'm suspicious).

Thursday:  Wine

Friday:  Hamms

Saturday: Coors Light

Sunday:  Grilled black bean and Sweet Potato burgers with a side salad.

Have a great week!  I hope that boy makes an appearance this week!

Moving even slower...

I was horrible last week.  We didn't have a menu so every night was the infamous question, "what should we have for dinner?"  I hate that question. We were better the week before, but some things got bumped, so I don't feel great about that either. Anyway, I have a menu this week.  It was challenging because I am trying to generate meals for the freezer, not use them!

Today:  on your own. Breakfast for dinner for the females?

Monday:  Mediterranean fish

Tuesday: Chinese

Wednesday: leftover spaghetti. We have a boatload from last night's dinner party

Thursday:  tacos

Friday: spinach lasagna

Saturday:  leftovers?  Pizza?  Whatever?

Have a great week!

P.s.  I am 1-1.5cm and 36 weeks tomorrow. All menus are null and void if I go into labor ;-)
