Tastes Like…. Oysters?

Ok, so maybe our dinner didn’t taste a THING like oysters, but I couldn’t really say chicken, that’d be too cliché. This past week involved a lot of time in the library working on tests, projects, and homework for me and therefore I spent a lot of time fantasizing. Many people day dream about vacations, money, celebrities, revenge, that sort of thing. But for whatever reason I dreamt about chicken, not just ANY chicken, but maybe a nice BBQ or roasted chicken. Weird right? Well, regardless of how much less you think of me now, I decided to jump to action and try to cook up a bird or two. Admittedly, I’ve never cooked a whole chicken before, but it sounded like fun. I bought two birds from the grocery store (in case I messed up one) and thought I’d give it a go this weekend.

The first attempt (pictured below) turned out pretty good. I put on a nice dry rub, and cooked him up. I didn’t think it would turn out so I didn’t have much else to go with it and ended up throwing a few shoddy corn muffins together. Despite the lack of amenities, it tasted great. So today I decided to give it another go, but this time with just a more traditional roasted chicken. I also had the forethought to make some mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn to round out the meal. There aren’t any pictures from today’s feast, but it too was amazingly delicious.

Perhaps this wasn’t the most informative or exciting post ever, but oh well, it’s too late. You have now wasted all that time reading this post that you could have spent trying to find a cure for cancer. Shame on you.

Still Growing!

Here’s some more belly pictures. I’m getting fatter. SO MUCH BELLY.

And in case you were wondering just how fat I’ve gotten, here is a picture that can give you a bit of an idea.

That’s all the pregnancy news we really have. We’re just not-so-patiently waiting the arrival of Tennyson. 2 months from today is my due date!

Picture Time!

I know people go crazy for belly pictures, so here is the latest and greatest.

Twenty-Nine Weeks

How majestic. It makes pregnancy look beautiful! Do you want to know how I really feel?? I feel like there are a lot of similarities between the next two pictures:

I'm a whale Whale

And they tell me I still have 12 weeks left. How he’ll find room, I have no idea, but they tell me he will. Great.

465

Diapers, diapers, everywhere and not a bum to cover. After some great sales, coupons, and theft (just kidding) we have accumulated 465 poop receptacles, and no one to fill them! We've also built up a fair number of baby wipes. Our logic is that by getting some now, we won't feel the financial punch quite as hard when the baby comes, but who knows? Yes, we may be crazy for getting all this stuff now but at least we're not- wait... yeah we're just crazy. It's ok though. I'm sure Tennyson will have no problem making quick work of them all. Here's a picture of our present arse-enal hopefully the stockpiles hold up!
