So much to do!

It's going to be interesting when this little girl comes along- life seems overwhelming right now! Sometimes I will lay in bed in the morning and just think of this big overwhelming list of 'stuff' that has to get done ;) But when I actually MAKE a list and have it on paper the things don't seem all that bad. I guess it's the scary anticipation that makes each day seem so untackle-able!

Oh, we are watching dateline or something and the subject is baby names- in Los Angeles, 30% of African American names are unique, like Shaniqua and Shakira. Jason Lee from "My Name is Earl" named his kid 'Pikot Inspektor' and Gwyneth Paltrow named hers 'Apple'. I have a name I really like, but we are keeping the final decision secret.

Oh, and little Baby 'Shaniqua' in the oven is dancing around on my bladder day and night. I think she is singing, "Hello, my baby- Hello, my darlin'- Hello my good time gal!"She is definately taking dance classes if she keeps this up. It just makes me smile because no one else can feel her yet from the outside and right now it's my little secret!

Lots of Stuff!

Actually, I have an excuse why I haven't blogged- I forgot my password and signin. Plus I didn't have my blog in my Bookmarks so I couldn't find it for a while, lol! Not to worry, it won't happen again.

Megan Ross will have fun with this- last night I dreamt I was flying over fields of fruit and would swoop down and take bites out of every different thing and one of the fruits was a rambutan, which is native to Thailand: Megan always sends us pictures of her eating a ton of these.


But bigger news than dream fruit: We found out about Baby Ross!


It's a Girl! It's hard to tell, but her tiny mouth is open and she is saying, "Feed Me!"
I swear, I never thought a human being could experience hunger like this. "Eating Dreams" happen almost every night, and then I wake up and daydream about eating.

Here is a picture of me at seventeen weeks and then eighteen weeks:
That's six more pounds of baby fat inbetween those pics.

Oh, and I HAVE to share the latest recipie that we gobbled up. I am making this for our Friend to Friend snack this Wednesday: Butterscotch Buns!
