Getting Impatient (39 Weeks)

You know you are starting to really get big when strangers start asking you how many "days" you have left until you are due or when everyone in the women's restroom line insists that you go next or when co-workers are disappointed when they see you arrive to work each day and exclaim, "No baby, yet?!".
 



It feels like a constant countdown but we are trying to enjoy the last few moments before Baby Bisek arrives.  This past week, we found ourselves not making plans or doing much of anything in case the baby would decide to come....and then we found ourselves very bored of looking at each other and talking about when the baby might come.  So, this weekend was full of activities - 2 farmer's markets, swimming, a trip to Boulder, an exhibit at the Denver Art Museum, one last visit to our favorite oyster bar (I had to just watch Zach eat the fresh oysters!) and Zach even got in a 14'er, Mt. Bierstadt.



The nesting instinct again has been kicking in.  Since I don't like to clean and the house is pretty well organized with the recent move, the freezer is now jam packed.  I knew I wanted to make some frozen meals so who else do I call but the family Martha Stewart, a.k.a. my sister, Sarah.  Of course, she had recipes, websites, tips and tricks for all things related to freezing meals.  I told her I was going to make all the recipes she sent me in one day....she laughed and told me to pace myself.  It took me three days.

A very full freezer!


People at work have really gone crazy throwing baby showers for me.  Today was the third shower I had at work - I guess that is the benefit of working with so many different departments throughout the hospital.  The cake says it all....
