Happy Friday

I am looking so forward to the weekend. Mr. Pear has had such a long week that I think he is looking forward to it even more.

I have no creative ideas to post - oh sure, I have the hope chest list to write up, but to be honest, I only get computer time while Miss Pear naps, and I am at the point where I love to be horizontal as much as possible... :-)

We are all doing well. The house is getting back into shape, and our suitcase is packed for the hospital (except for those last minute things, but there is a list!) Miss Pear is exceedingly excited about baby arriving and is always giving my tummy hugs and kisses, and taking about baby! So sweet. It makes it easier to talk to her about it more and explain more.

The million dollar relish is canned, enough for the year. Unfortunately there are not enough cucumbers left for pickles. The first of the tomato sauce is being canned today, Miss Pear and I helped a bit, but it is mostly my MIL doing it. And pears are on sale this weekend, 3lbs for $1, so we will be getting some of those to can as well. But again, it will not be me doing most of the canning. We are also loving just munching the tomatoes as well. I will skip planting grape tomatoes next year but will definitely plant the romas and sweet baby girl cherry tomatoes!

This weekend we are planning on doing the few remaining tasks to prepare for babies arrival, all stuff that could technically be done after with no problem but that are nice to get out of the way early!

It is very hot here so I am hiding inside with the A/C and loving it. But impatience has kicked in. I am having a very hard time waiting to hold this little baby of ours. I hope she comes early!

Oh, and I officially have a pregnancy craving - Chinese food. There have been two nights in the last 3 weeks where I have been totally focused on it, and then it tasted SO delicious! This is a very pleasant treat because it means that some food might actually like me! :-)
