We thought it might happen yesterday at some time. Simply because it was a full moon last night. Which apparently has some effect on pregnant women close to their due dates. The funny thing is that when my MIL brought it up, I went and looked it up BOTH my boys were due on a full moon! But, NOOOOO, apparently this baby is quite happy right where he/she is! So, tomorrow I am going in at 6am to be induced. There will be plenty of news and pics probably later this week!
I decided to put together a VERY loose, child friendly, and easy for MIL to make.
Monday: Chicken Tacos with tomato and avocado slices
Tuesday: Pizza Bake
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Quesadillas
Friday: Mac and Cheese and apple sauce
Saturday: order a pizza
After the baby is born, I will have to stay in the hospital for 3 days. I am thinking I will probably be back home either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. I will keep ya'll (MIL is from Texas, I think its rubbing off) posted!
I will say the boys are excited for the new baby to be born, Train Junkie keeps asking if he can tell the baby to come out! I have been baking like crazy too. I found the Tiramisu recipe at The Pioneer Woman Cooks, and made that on Saturday. YUMMY!! Oh my word, super easy, and so good! I left out the Marsala for pregnant reasons, I wasn't sure the alcohol would cook out. And while I have read plenty of articles about having a glass of wine here at the end to relax me and maybe spark labor, I am just not THAT liberal!
In order to keep you all occupied (since you are just hanging by a thread to hear what we have and all!) I have 2 questions for you!!
1. If you have children, were any of them born during a full moon? (you can google moon phases and if you have a child born in 2000 - now, you can look it up)
And my second question is a little odd, I have found the BEST toothpaste in the world! Where did that come from you ask? Just my own random ramblings, really. Anyway when I was in L.A. my friend had a tube of Aquafresh Extreme Clean. I tried it, and will NEVER use anything else again! Talk about fresh and minty deliciousness!
2. What type of toothpaste do you use?? Do you have a preference or is it whatever is on sale?

still cooking? WOW!! have a wonderful week and I hope there is a happy ending this week.
I think an easy menu is in store for this week.
I use Colgate Total...always! I don't seem to care which flavor it is though.
Neither of my boys were born on a full moon (almost the opposite after googling moon phases...LOL). Ds#1 ws Oct. 9, 2002 and ds#2 was Feb. 26, 2006. However, I was scheduled to be induced with ds#2 on Feb. 26 (at 39 weeks). My dad flew in from TX on the 25th and we were busy doing some last minute grocery shopping after picking him up at the airport. When we got home, I was very tired. I went to the bathroom and thought my water might have broke. I waited a while to see if it really had. I was thinking it had and was getting ready to call the doc to tell them...then there was a bigger gush and I was sure. So.....my little one was born 3 hours before my induction was to begin!! Maybe tonight is the night!!
Aw. You had a week long lull in your posting and I thought for sure you had the baby! Maybe you'll go into labor tonight and skip being induced in the morning! Whatever happens, I will be praying for you and your new baby! You're doing great, Mama!
Looks like a good week! Lots of luck on the birth of your new child. Check out my tiramisu recipe ( no alcohol ).
