36 Weeks Down 4 (or less) to Go!

With a month or less of the pregnancy left, I'm finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.  My hospital bag is packed, we have instructions on what to do if I start going into labor, and I'm seeing my Dr. on a weekly basis to keep an eye on the progress. 

I cannot wait to meet our baby! 

One of the cool baby items I got at my Baby Shower was the Baby Bullet.

It's basically a food processor that processes, steams, stores, and prepares homemade baby food which is the alternative to buying it already jarred.  I did some reading and some jarred baby foods are good up to 3 years!  WTF. How is that even possible?  The explanation is that the food is heated up so hot that nothing bad can grow in it, but at the same time it kills anything good in it.  So the hope is that with this machine and the recipe book, I can give baby healthy homemade fresh food. 

It also says that you can make a good amount of baby food in small amounts of time (making some, freezing some, and mixing things up) which sounds good to me.  Of course this would start only when baby is READY for said food, the hope is to breast feed as long as possible before moving on to foods.

However, I feel good that I want to start baby's life out right by avoiding foods that have preservatives and that potentially have been processed. 


How have I been doing lately? Ha. ha. ha. Today on FourSquare I unlocked this badge:

This little piggy almost caused me to have a mental break down today at lunch.  FourSquare is an APP that when you go somewhere you "check in."  It doesn't serve any real purpose but to keep track of where you've been and they have fun little badges you earn for going to certain places. 

The "Porky" badge, innocently enough, just recognizes the fact that I've been to a few different BBQ restaurants, it has nothing to do with how large I am, but remember people I'm on emotional overload here!
