What I'm...

Mommy, Run Fast! started it, and I'm answering:

What I'm reading...
Made in America: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States, by Bill Bryson. And I'm loving every minute of it, even if he has a tendency to wander and get lost in tangents a bit. I love it.

What I'm learning...
Patience. Baby's due date is tomorrow. I'm crazy-uncomfortable, nervous, and anxious... but I can't force anything, so... I'm learning patience.

What I'm indulging in...
Not a whole lot, but I did make Tim break out a bag of the Cadbury M&Ms he always gets (and hides so I can't find, per my request) at Christmas and Easter. Ice cream doesn't do for me now what it did in the first trimester, and the creamer ice creams (like vanilla, usually my fave) are just... not my friend.

What I'm lounging in...
Jeans. Even though it's in the low- to mid-80s, I refuse to buy maternity shorts (I have no more than 14 days of this pregnancy thing ahead of me)!

What I'm dreaming of...
So many things, really! Seeing baby for the first time. Holding baby. Living baby. Bringing baby home. Basically everything in my life right now revolves around baby.

What I'm loving...
My Love. Always.

What I'm afraid of...
This has been on my mind a LOT recently, for some reason (or maybe for no reason at all). I can handle spiders, snakes, mice, whatever. I'm not a fan my any stretch of the imagination, but I can HANDLE those things - those things can be killed! The thing that really frightens me right now is the unknown.

What I'm cooking...
Nothing more exciting than tacos or grilled cheese. How lame is that? I think this calls for a batch of blondies (my favorite recipe from a place my mom used to get our bread when we lived in upstate New York). And breakfast cookies (from a recipe I pinned).

What I'm wondering...
When this little babe will decide to make her appearance! Oh, and what justice is there in the world if it can be in the mid-80s in March. Like, for example.

  1. Wow, any day- how exciting! That definitely requires a lot of patience at the end. Hope the baby shows up soon and that it's a really smooth adjustment for you all! Thanks for playing along, too. :)

  2. I knew it was about time for me to go into labor when I had the sudden urge to cook a massive meal, as in a 10 lb. pork roast, for my husband and I. The thing took about 12 hours to cook and we ate, went to bed, and I had my son the next day. We got back from the hospital to refrigerator full of leftovers and that really helped for those first few days.

    Since you aren't in labor and have started your leave maybe you can help your anxiety a little by stocking up on groceries and especially quick things you can feed yourself after the baby arrives. You probably won't feel like cooking much and sometimes a frozen lasagne can go a long way toward restoring your strength. Other than that, take it easy! Best of luck for the big day.
