BEEF STEW!!!

I have been a house wife is the term you could use for over 7 years now, and in those seven years I have never made stew, meatloaf, a turkey dinner (have helped with this one though) and probably many other traditional meals. I have decided with my new role as stay at home mother this is going to change. So today I made my first Beef Stew, had to call my mom for one questions, but other then that I did it all on my own and it was crazy easy and as I eat it right now super delicious. I don't know why I hold myself back so much in things and get scared to try new things. Especially when it comes to food and crafts. In these past two weeks I have tried two new meals now and both turned out delicious. The best part is I made enough to get a freezer meal out of it. As of right now I have 7 freezer meals sitting in my freezer and am adding another one tomorrow. Hoping this help once baby comes.

p.s. if anyone has any really good freezer meal's please send my way, I would like to get about 4 to 6 more made before Macie comes, especially if she is late.

DOCTOR'S ORDERS!!

Yesterday I had my 39 week Doctor's Appointment. We started off with the usual, checking blood pressure, asking questions. Then we hopped up on the table to see where baby was sitting (and she has dropped, yay) and to listen to her heartbeat. As we were finishing up she told me that lots of walking helps (and I told her we go for a good 40 minute to one hour walk every night) and then she looks at Mark and says "Also Make him happy" at first Mark did not know what she was talking about, but then realized what she said and had this cute giddy smirk on his face. Then the even better news came, if she is not hear by next week we schedule an Induction for the 21st of December. Which means for sure we will be meeting our little one in 14 days. Forever it felt like this was never going to happen, but know with a for sure date in sight I can really start my count down and if she comes sooner great if not I will have about two weeks.
