Random Thoughts

I will have more to update tomorrow after my 40 week appointment, but for now I bring you a few random thoughts:

• The only thing more dangerous than watching Food Network 9 months pregnant is watching Food Network 10 months pregnant! I want Key Lime Pie!
• Where did summer go? It's pouring outside. At this rate, I think our home garden probably cost us approx $5 per tomato by the time you consider the amount of time and water we used all summer for only a few good tomatoes.
• Speaking of tomatoes. Ensalada Caprese is THE BEST salad ever. I mean, can you really go wrong with a salad that is 50% cheese?

Things I will miss about being pregnant:

• 1:1 time with Grace. I love being able to take the time to sit and color with her, or do a sticker book or just curl up on the couch and read with her. She's at such a fun age and reall into coloring lately. I looove it!
• Using it as an excuse when complaining. For example, calling Hillsboro Garbage and complaining that I had to go pick up spilled garbage from the street that the garbage man knocked out. It just seems to pack more of a punch when finishing that sentence with "and I'm 9 months pregnant!"
• Using it as instant justification for a pedicure! They will soon to back to a luxury as opposed to a necessity. Sigh.
• Getting a donut at the grocery store while shopping 'just because'.
• THE SLEEP! Enough said.

Things I WON'T miss about being pregnant

• Swollen feet, hands, cankles and face. Ugh. I miss my wedding ring!
• Getting up 3-4 times a night to pee. Of course, peeing takes much less time than actually getting up to feed an infant.
• Constantly being out of breath. I mean CONSTANTLY.
• The heart burn. Seriously.
• Finally being able to see what I've been cookin' up for the last 9, I mean 10 months!
