Countdown Daze

The final days waiting around for the baby to come are loooong.

Current mood:

Currently reading: Left Neglected

I have loved this book so far. I also read Still Alice by the same author. She always writes about brain injuries in her stories and it's fascinating (to me).

Currently cooking: Rack of lamb

I realize this isn't the most appetizing photo, it's the only one I snagged. It's much tastier than it looks.

I see myself as a good cook, but I was always intimidated to try making lamb for some reason. But guys, it is SO EASY. Give this recipe a try, it's delicious every time. It's no harder than roasting any other kind of meat in your oven. Also, Costco sells rack of lamb already "frenched" so you don't have to do any butchering work. I am obviously not cooking this every night, but I find it's no more expensive than if we were to grill 2 nice steaks at home, and it's a good way to mix things up for dinner. (Side note: I have found that 1 Costco rack is enough for 2 hungry adults).

So i'll just be waiting here, eating watermelon and any carb in site, if you need me....

Bump snap shots

We played around and did a tiny "maternity shoot" ourselves in the baby's nursery.  I didn't think I would ever want to take the time for these kind of photos, feeling quite large and all, but I'm glad we did it for documentation sake and I think some of them actually turned out pretty cute (...mostly the ones with the dog photobomber)!
