On my ever expanding quest to try all foods made with Pumpkin, I bought a "Pumpkin Smash" at Jamba Juice this morning. Other than an overwhelming taste of Cinnamon, it was okay. I didn't spit it out upon tasting it but that being said, I'm not getting another one.
I made Oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips for the hell of it.
Fall is by far my favorite time of year. The fashion is great (looking forward to seeing all the new L.A.M.B.), the food is great (especially anything with pumpkin in it), and Halloween ('nuff said). :sigh:
As of August 10, 2010 I am official a mommy for the 2nd time. We are pretty excited/exhausted right now but things are going great. I'll update more once I am less of a zombie.
This is gonna be the last time I update pregnant. I have my c-section scheduled for this Tuesday. I am not nervous or scared about the actual surgery at all. It's actually very strange how calm I feel. I have never "gone under the knife" for anything before. I feel very confident about how we have planned Liam's birth. I feel it's been the best...

You have one brilliant son and another on the way. You have a group of friends who would do anything for you.
I am the kind of person that likes to gather as much information about something as possible before I make the decision to go along with it. That's not to say that I haven't made some stupid "knee jerk reactionary" decisions in my life. We all have. But on average, before I make up my mind on something I like to get the pros and...

Back in the day I remember how annoying it was when people asked me why I was vegetarian, so I can only imagine how offensive it can be for people to question your decision to have a C-section. When you mentioned your decision I figured you had a good reason. That was good enough for me.
I am 37 weeks. Sleeping is difficult. I have had a few contractions but not real labor. My c-section date is August 10th. I could go into labor any time between now and then. I am afraid of going into labor to the point where a c-section is not an option and I would have to give birth naturally and without pain relief. I have... Read More
