2 Weeks!

2 weeks to go!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited and ready! Tonight I'm going to pack a hospital bag... or 3. There's a lot of stuff on my list to bring. We are almost finished with her room. I'm trying to paint a canvas to go in there, and we have a few more things to get together. I've been so busy between work and getting ready for A's arrival that I have neglected all my wonderful friends who have called me this week and promise to call you back asap! We had a bit of a rough start to the week with your good ol' membrane stripping at my appt on Monday so it took a few days to recoup from that. (If you don't know what that is, consider yourself lucky) It did not bring on any contractions, but they are going to try it again on Monday.

For dinner, I am cooking meatloaf, mashed red potatoes, green bean casserole, and sauteed squash medley. If you aren't a big meatloaf fan, I get it. But this recipe is delicious, mainly for the topping (not your standard ketchup.) If you want it, let me know! Also, someone gave me the tip of using chicken broth instead of milk for the mashed potatoes. I have to say, YUM. Biggest difference ever! Try it!

Also, for an update on the salt-free life... I did stick with it, with very few exceptions. It's tomato season, come on people. The positive is that I realized food can taste good without salt, but my swelling did not actually go down much. So I still watch it, but do allow some exceptions. I think I've found a happy, and Healthy!, medium. Who cares if I'm swollen to the point of being essentially unrecognizable these days. I can take it for 2 more weeks!
