Happy Birthday to Mom

I got an early morning wake up from Abby this morning. Not really the world's most wonderful "happy birthday," but from Abby I will take an early morning wake up call. Abby ended up snuggling with us from 3:30 a.m. on. I'm pretty sure she is having some of the same sinus and congestion issues Steve and I are having and just can't vocalize it.

I'm celebrating my birthday by doing a dinner make-ahead marathon. So far I've done beef and bean enchiladas and turkey alfredo. Abby has been helping me and standing on her "helper stool" watching me cook. She should be well versed in cooking by the time she is old enough to actually use the stove. Unfortunately, while I was in the middle of my cook off I realized that everything I had made so far would be banned if I test positive for diabetes again on Wednesday (actually, it would be the next week since I'd have to fail both tests before I got the label back). So, I'm hoping all my cooking ahead for weeks when I am tired isn't in vain. But if it is, then I guess I'll have a lot of cooking done for when Baby Sister arrives.

And... by the way, there are only 100 days until her due date. That means only about 93 days until the c-section and only about 4 weeks until we see the surgeon and hopefully set the c-section date. Abby is getting excited to meet her little sister and I am very excited to get this pregnancy behind me and my aching back :-)

Love those little tights!! She is such a cute little sweetheart!! I bet she loves helping Mommy cook. That is a very good idea!! I do it a lot, cause then when company comes, I can just pull out a lasagna or caserole and instant dinner. I also make green bean and just leave off the french fried onions til I pull it out of the freezer, sometimes I put mashed potato chips that Gramps and I don't eat. Love you and hope and pray that your blood counts are good!!! GG
