I am being really bad this week, trying to plan meals for the next week or so, and trying to plan meals that I don’t have to make much effort to cook. It seems that my pregnancy lull hits at around 4 pm which is when I’m normally cooking supper.

So, heat and eat or quick meals is the plan for this next week.  I’m glad the holidays are approaching and meals with family will soon take over for a week or so, wheww a pregnant lady needs a break!

Here are my meals, laugh if you must:

Chicken stir fry

Crockpot Chicken and Potatoes

Cheese sticks

Chicken Enchiladas

Burritos

Lasagna and Garlic bread

Chili Dogs and Fries

Sloppy Joes and Tator Tots

Gumbo

Vegetable Soup (homemade not the canned variety, aren’t you proud?)

Well, I’ve been so out of it with my online stuff that I feel like I need an excuse, and so excuses I have.

#1 I found out during Thanksgiving that I am pregnant with a third child. This was a surprise, a blessing in disguise I’m sure, but still, nonetheless has been something new to deal with, along with that comes feeling cruddy, loosing energy and brain cells, somehow I just don’t think as clearly pregnant.

#2 This is the busiest time of year around my house. From Thanksgiving to New Year’s in my family and my church we feel like we’re running a marathon. There are family meals, church events, etc, that seem to go on forever. Project after project is in place at church. I am helping with the Christmas parade float, playing Mary in the Christmas musical and I haven’t even started to memorize my lines and the big night is in less than 2 weeks.

#3 Lily has been sick. She has been congested for what seems like forever, finally took her back to the doctor on Tuesday after I spent Monday afternoon at the OBGYN finding out that everything is ok with the new baby on the way. Low and behold Lily has to have breathing treatments now so that has been a new adventure at our house.

#4 I had a major speaking engagement this week. I spoke at French Camp Academy to the high school students. This was truly an awesome opportunity. The school is an awesome Christian boarding school that is unlike any other place I’ve ever been. I worked at their camp, Camp of the Rising Son in the summer of 1999. I was excited to go back to this place nearly 8 years later.
#5 Not only have I not been online as much I haven’t cooked dinner a single night this week and coming from someone who cooks her family a home cooked meal every night of the week you know I must have a GOOD excuse.

So, there is my list of excuses. I will say this, I may not be “back to normal” until after the holidays. There is just something about this time of year, I enjoy it and I want to spend the time with my family and friends. Also, there is something about this time of my pregnancies that I feel the worst of all and so therefore I don’t feel like doing anything, including my favorite past time of being online. Later on, I’ll spend tons of time online. So, don’t worry I’ll be back to normal soon.

Carrie has answered my latest question in our cross blog conversation which was

“What did you see yourself becoming as an adult, as a teenager, and are you where you thought you’d be today?”  over at her blog.  She also gave me a new question -

“If your babies both napped at the same time or if you went out for the evening, what would you do?”

Carrie,

Honestly, I would choose an evening out, preferably alone with my hubby.  Greg and I rarely get much one on one time anymore and this is about to become even less or nonexistent with the third baby on the way.  I love to spend time with him alone, and I prefer a nice dinner and a drive because I like this time to talk to him uninterrupted and for him to talk to me.  It’s nice and it’s what I crave.

One of the things hubby and I would like to do before the baby comes is take a cruise. We’ve been wanting to for several years now and I just told him, we’d better or we won’t get to, even grandparents won’t take care of 3 babies at once.  So, I’m hoping to schedule something for early 2008 before I get too big pregnant to enjoy it.

Now, I for your next question, with all the thoughts of food the last week,

“What is your favorite meal?”   

I am really enjoying this.  Thanks for sharing.

Well, Greg and I are sitting here discussing baby names.  I would love for you all to give us some ideas.  We want something that starts at the end of the alphabet because our first born is Baker, our second is Lily and so we need something that starts with a letter towards the end of the alphabet. I’m thinking R, S, or T.  So, shoot!

Oh and here are some other criteria.

1.  We want an old name, possibly Biblical in nature.

2.  We want something short, nothing too long for the child to learn.

3.  We want something simple. Not something with multiple spelling options, it’s just too confusing.

Alright, now fire away.  We have something in mind, however do not want to share just yet! Thanks.
