With the baby coming soon, I thought it'd be nice to have a place where David and I could document our trials and joys of being parents. I might also throw in a bit about my sewing endeavors and culinary passions here and there.
So I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant. I feel like I'm in that last stretch of a 1-mile race (I can't say marathon since I've never run one, and can't pretend to understand what it's like). It's that last lap where you feel like you're legs are going to give out on you, and your body is telling you "no more"....but you keep going knowing that you're so close. I know that once I cross that finish line I'll feel like I'm finally done with the race...but reality is....the true race is only just beginning. The actual marathon. I'm looking forward to it though. I have a great partner to run it with, and ultimately we have an awesome God who will pick both of us up when we fall.
To pass time and keep me energized for this last stretch, I've been eating very healthy foods such as Susiecakes banana/chocolate chip cupcake with cream cheese frosting. At least I made sure they use real bananas and not artificial flavoring. It was just "so-so"...I think Barefoot Contessa's banana bread recipe makes much better banana cupcakes.
I've gained 42 pounds. Oh dear lord...
