Food, Food, and More Food :-)


It has been a week full of fun foods.  It seems that my days revolve around what I am going to eat.  I think what kicked it off was my craving for red velvet cupcakes.  My good friend Sarah and I have gotten cupcakes the past two times we have had lunch, and I thought I would give my own red velvet cupcake recipe a try.  Let’s just say they turned out to be AWESOME!!  Thanks to Aunt Kari, Greg’s sister, who helped in making them turn out amazing.  This last week I have had one crazy sweet tooth.  I haven’t had one my whole pregnancy.  I would have rather had a whole pizza before I wanted any ice cream or cake.  I guess Lilly is making sure I make up for lost sweets before she can’t have cake until her first birthday.         
My next food conquest was brought on by loving the cooler weather.  I had to make Aunt Tina’s yummy tortilla soup recipe.  It was super tasty and made me feel like it was fall.  Greg and I even got up one morning and had some yummy hot chocolate before he had to go to work.  I sure love my hubby.  I can’t wait to have hot chocolate on the porch while holding our beautiful little girl Lilly.  
On Tuesday I had lunch with Sarah and Addy at the Rise Bakery.  It was actually quite good.  I had a Cajun Hamburger with Cajun Fries.  I might as well eat the spicy food, because that is on the list of things that can help you go into labor.  I am willing to try anything.  Although the food was good the company was better.  I can’t wait to have all four of us girls have a lunch date.  Addy needs to meet her new best friend Lilly. 

Well, I had my 38 week appointment this week and I am not dilated AT ALL, but the doctor says Lilly has her head really low.  I was excited to hear that, but it probably means nothing.  I am not counting on an early arrival for Lilly, but you never know.  Hopefully in my next blog entry I will have more exciting news to report on Lilly’s expected arrival.
