ten on ten - December 2012

The morning didn't start out so well. Bébé and I both had a meltdown before 10AM. We sat in the nursing chair for quite a while before I decided I would just do what I had to do with a fussy babe.

We attempted laundry . . . After 3 separate attempts, it was all folded and put away.

We have an abundance of greens from our CSA share, so lunch was a beautiful kale salad for me, grilled cheese for the kiddos. I adapted a recipe in Kris Carr's newest book Crazy Se*y Kitchen. It was so delicious! We also had some yummy green juice with our lunch.

Snack time. I finally made a batch of homemade cranberry bliss bars the other day. They turned out to be really good! I froze some today for later snacking. :)

A little computer work while Bébé napped in my lap. (She is currently doing just that as I type this!)

Today was a good mail day! This sticker I ordered for our van, was tucked in the mailbox, along with two Christmas cards! :)

Dinner was a delicious Curried Lentil Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Bacon. (with collards added from our CSA share) The recipe is from the book - Keep It Seasonal by Annie Wayte . . .

The view from my bed as I laid down to nurse little Bébé . . .

So glad the day turned around for the better!

38 Weeks

Little did we know that exactly one week later our sweet little girl would arrive!
My niece came up to photograph Week 38 for me.
She is an up and coming photographer. I have a particular amount of pride in her, and her work because her parents bought my first film SLR to give to her as she became interested in photography. I remember attending one of her homeschool co-op photography shows, where her photographs, shot with my old camera, were on display! SO proud! :)

...The weather on this particular day was less than desirable for outdoor photos, cloudy and very windy!
I told her not to come, and we would just try for the following weekend!
I am so glad she persisted, because had we postponed, there would never have been these last photos of my belly! :)

Above is probably my favorite image!

I wanted to steal this scarf/sarong from my niece. Yellow+grey=amazingness!
Alas, it went home with her, and now I am on the hunt for something equally awesome to add to my scarf collection!

We found a little patch of "field" in suburbia, and the clouds even parted a bit to reveal the blue sky. (obviously by my crazy hair, the wind did not dissipate. ;)

This photo makes me laugh! I was SO addicted to raw cow's milk throughout my pregnancy. It was actually my go-to snack when insomnia kicked in and I would get so hungry at 2 or 4 AM! That and a banana. ;)
