Well, the clothes are washed, the room is ready. I am starting on the 10 million thank you cards I have to write, other than that it's just waiting, waiting, waiting...
Something you would think we would be good at by this point.
We're not.
Birthmom calls or texts and I jump out of my skin. I need to think of a better name than birthmom, at least for blogging purposes. It sounds so...formal. Something we really aren't. I could abbreviate it. BM. Oh wait, that's gross. She calls me "Baby Mama" which is so funny to me, so I can't call her that. I think I'll call her gift giver. Does that sound hokey?
I wanted to check in with you, I feel like I haven't blogged in forever...I feel like this is such an important time, I should have a lot to say but I really don't have much important to say.
I am so wrapped up in baby gear- it's like my cryptonite. I am fighting the urge to have a 36 picture post of all the awesome things we received or bought. ITS.JUST.SO.CUTE.
So what am I currently fixated on? Even though Jack won't be eating solid food spring, I am in the market for a baby food maker (one that steams and chops in the same bowl) Does anyone have any experience with these? I would love a weigh in and I know if I put it on Facebook, my non-baby friends will have a hayday with the comment section. Anyway, I am up for suggestions.
Because all I doing is waiting.
And writing thank you notes.
And working full time.
And chasing around a 3 year old.
And cooking, cleaning, and wife-ing. :)
And thinking of ways to get the mylar balloons off the vaulted ceiling (other than knife throwing, which Chad vetoed.)

Sorry, can't help with that. We used a steam basket and a food processor and ice cube trays. One big day of cooking and I was good for a month with a freezer stocked for my kiddos. Not a bad plan if you don't find what you need. :o)
ReplyDeleteBeaba baby cook..... LOVED mine, still use it to steam veggies for Hannah.
ReplyDeleteBaby bullet worked for us. You can make all your own baby food and save a fortune (I know you will like that idea) Buy a bunch of carrots and make gobs of fresh baby food. It even has a little date setter on the jars so you can remember how fresh it is. www.Babybullet.com As far as the balloons go... Here is how we did it at the church for a birthday party with those tall ceilings. Get another mylar or regular helium balloon and put lots and lots of doubled rolled duct tape all over it. Then attach a very long string and go to town "catching" all those balloons stuck on the ceiling. Worked like a charm. Otherwise they will be there for weeks. haha! Good Luck Sarah.... patiently waiting for the big news too. Love, Shawn
