I need to get this baking/nesting thing under control!
The house is immaculate (for the 4th time in the last week)....and the cleaners are coming today anyway! Every scrap of laundry in the house has been done. The sheets have been changed. The nursery has been set up (including the diaper genie, mobile, furniture, etc).
And the list of baked goods over the last few weeks:
Earl grey shortbread cookies
Sour cream chocolate bundt cake
Flaxseed banana bread w/chocolate chips
2nd batch of dark hazelnut chocolate, toffee, cranberry oatmeal cookies
Pumpkin cheesecake bars
Whole wheat banana muffins w/berries
Pumpkin chocolate chip scones with spiced maple glaze
Homemade granola
If Jellybean doesn't make it out, then another set of scones are in order -- like cream scones with dried cranberries or crystallized ginger, or lemon-blueberry scones, or....hrm, the possibilities are endless!

37 6/7.
Another long lag-time between posts. Lots of happenings, but still no baby!
I'm home from work on "medical leave" due to high blood pressures. I'm fine, baby's fine....but I discovered, not surprisingly, that residency and pregnancy don't mix. It's only been a few days at home, and my blood pressure has improved, but my sanity is what I'm worried about now -- I'm bored out of my mind! I've cleaned, cooked, baked, set up the nursery, written thank you cards....and now I'm just stewing in my own juices. Sigh.
Jellybean -- it's getting warmer out now, don't you want to meet the rest of the world?!
See, I'm going nuts.
On a totally different note, did you ever notice how satisfying it is to drink out of a straw -- especially if it's colorful and flexible -- at home? I mean, at a restaurant it's not a big deal, but at home, it's so unexpected. For me, it brings me back to childhood days. Plus drinks with straws are usually a treat -- smoothies, fizzy colored concoctions, root beer floats or anything else with ice cream in them. Right now, I'm enjoying an orangina/sprite mix. It's so refreshing, fizzy and suits my mood - so full of anticipation, excitedly waiting for Jellybean and spring to get here!! Yum!
