Baby Bump - 36 Weeks




So here we are at 36 weeks - that means only four weeks to go...

Oh Sleep....How I miss you my dear friend!

ZZZZZ...Sometimes you just don't realize the importance of a great nights' sleep until your regular sleeping habits have changed substantially in a short period of time!I read all about this in my pregnancy books...books I didn't take seriously until NOW when I'm actually having the problem they warned me about -- late pregnancy insomnia! Just the word "Insomnia" makes me cringe! I keep telling myself this is my body's way of preparing for getting very little sleep for the next few months (or more...) but that doesn't seem to provide much reassurance! At least I know it's all for a worthy cause {grin!}



And it's not like our home doesn't have enough beds....

Cooking for Baby!




One of my baby shower gifts was this great "Cooking for Baby" Cookbook from Laurie. I love it! It has foods for all age groups, starting when baby starts eating solid foods and into the toddler years ... I've skimmed through it and some of the food actually looks "fancy!" I can't wait to experiment with the recipes. Even better? My mom and dad have a huge garden so I can raid it over the summer and use the fruits and veggies I get from them to make wholesome food for baby!
