does not  want us to go past our due date 
So we check into the hospital tonight and 
start the process tomorrow. :) 
Can't wait to meet our little one. :)

...Waiting...



So... I have been waiting for our Daughter to arrive since we found 
out we were expecting in December. 
I decided I wasn't going to sit around and twiddle my thumbs... :/
We had decided we would find out the gender in order that we might be 
a little more prepared, considering  we are living on a tight budget since  Willie is in school. 
There is always a test that needs payed for, books to be bought or the silly little expense 
of an extra class that needs payed for "right now!"
But there is a wait to find out ... and I had to find some way to keep busy 
I do have a part time job with my church, caring for  
"my kids"... The ones whose parents are in choir or orchestra. But that is 
only twice a week and special occasions.
I wanted to make baby things, but without knowing it was kind of hard.
I have a lot of friends who are pregnant or are having babies, or had babies...
so I started there. :) 
And this is where I learned that waiting can be a blessing.
I learned a lot about baby stuff, and sewing. 
I found a lot of fun projects to make for baby gifts.  
Then when the time came I started working on my own  baby stuff
which helped with the other end of waiting, but if I had never taken advantage 
of the beginning  part I would never have had the chance to  practice on my sewing.

So now that I have only 9 days or less for baby to come I will view it as a blessing
get some rest, try to get a few  last minute things done and just enjoy this few 
days with my husband, before baby and before He starts back to school.

Baby Gifts

I have begun to receive baby gifts...
I have always loved baby things. Always loved to browse 
the baby isles.
But I never really had an excuse until I became pregnant.
I always really liked  little girl outfits and all the 
accessories...
Getting to pick out and sort all of the baby things, not to mention 
sewing for my little sweetheart  has been such a joy for me.
It takes me back to when I was a little girl.. 
I would use my baby sister's outfits to dress my dolls.
Anyway, Every time I get a package or card I just sit and dream about
the day when I have  that sweet little angel 
in my arms  and get to use all the beautiful gifts  my very dear family 
and friends are blessing me with. :) 
 One of my  very favorite gift is from My cousin Hannah.  
She knitted a beautiful set of booties, mittens and a little hat.
The reason its one of my favorites 
(My very favorite is the Minnie outfit Willie bought)
is because she put time and effort into something so beautiful.

Neely's Chicken Salad in Tomato Cups on the Food Network

This sounds so very good. And I can actually have this one lol :)


Maybe I should  stop watching food network... lol 
I keep finding food I like. 

White Chocolate Mousse with Cranberry Sauce on the Food Network


This looks so very yummy! :) can't wait until I am not pregnant to try this...
may even fudge a little and try it before. :)
... As long as my sugar is fine I can try a little. :)
It definitely gives you ideas on how to serve it...
Also, I read on the comments
that If you do not like cranberry sauce, 
try making a raspberry sauce...
or any type of berry sauce. :)
