Never thought I would say these words, but...

I will be making Nathan's baby food. There. I said it.

At Saturday's baby shower, Jennifer handed us each a spoon. A beautiful chocolate brown spoon. The color was to die for. But I digress.

She then proceeded to walk around my living room asking us each to taste whatever nasty concoction was in the baby food jar sans label. Let me tell you... that stuff was NASTY. Yuck. As a self-proclaimed Foodie, my son will not be fed that stuff unless it is an absolute necessity. Again, that stuff was NASTY.

My friend Nolan (pregnant with twin girls... hopefully Nathan & the girls will have their first play date at Piedmont's nursery!!!) tells me that her sister-in-law makes her son's baby food and that it is super easy, so we shall see.

I know Jerry Seinfeld's wife Jessica has a cookbook about such things, so I'll be sure to check that out.

My neighbor Sarah makes Molly Beth's baby food, so I'll be sure to pick her brain as well.

Has anyone else made their own baby food? Any suggestions or combinations to stay away from?

Random

Just random things & thoughts...

My mom is having major surgery tomorrow, April 17th. Please keep her in your thoughts & prayers.

Todd & I have Childbirth Education Class all day Saturday. ALL DAY!!! Yikes!

My 34th birthday is in 8 days... April 24th.

My best friend Toni is hosting a baby shower for Nathan & me the following day, April 25th. I cannot wait to see all my friends, some who I have not seen in months! (It was winter. I hibernated.)

Nathan is due in 48 days, give or take. That's six weeks and six days, give or take. It's going FAST!!!

His room is 95% ready. All it's missing is the wonderful artwork that my friend Gray is painting for him. She also promises to hand feed me when she comes to deliver the art. I'm looking forward to both!

My sister-in-law Jennifer hosted a beautiful baby shower this past weekend. Our families showered Nathan with lots of love & gifts. He is one blessed baby boy! And we are blessed to have such special people in our lives!

I had a belly photo shoot on Easter Sunday. The proofs will be on-line in a few days. Let me know if you'd like me to send you the link & password.

Bob (my boss) told me yesterday that Nathan can come to work with me. Of course the details have to be worked out, and of course it all depends on how both of us feel (mommy & baby), but I am happy knowing that the option is available & that Bob thinks the world of me. (It doesn't hurt that he knows he cannot survive without me, too. That's a great feeling!)

Is there anything else you want to know? Just ask!

It's a Small World

So I just ran into a woman in the restroom here at work who is also pregnant. That means there are THREE pregnant women on my floor!

I have not spoken with her before, but today I learned that we have due dates close to each other as well. She is due in seven weeks, Aruna (the other woman) is due in eight, and I am due in nine! Talk about a small world. Wonder what was in the water all those months ago!
