new Project

I've had this project I wanted to do for some time now, but haven't had the opportunity to get the materials or really had time to do much. A few days ago, we got the material, they had a great sale on flannel at Walmart. Now just to do the project. Hopefully tomorrow. 

Strawberry Jam

This was a whole lot easier than I first envisioned it being. It helps that I used our blender to chop the strawberries, instead of using a potato masher (our potato masher doesn't work so well on strawberries). It didn't turn out so jam-y, definitely more of a strawberry juice, we'll have to keep it in the freezer after they are opened. But hopefully it will still be good. I also never tasted it during the process, and there wasn't any small bits left over after filling the jars like there was whenever mom made some. I guess it will be a surprise for when we do get into them!

Built

Now we just have to find somewhere for all the stuff inside it to go so we have room for baby Baker to go in it.

overflowing

I experimented today with making an angel food cake (Happy birthday to Drew!). I've never had it in my life before today, certainly never made it, and had no idea just how big of an "extra big" mixing bowl I would really need. The box (yep, this cake came from a box) said to beat it for a minute 30, this was after about 10-20 seconds.... I don't think I beat it for even a whole minute before calling it good. It turned out tasty though. It reminded me vaguely of cotton candy in cake form.

Glucola

Today was my glucose tolerance test to see if I have gestational diabetes   This stuff certainly wasn't my favorite. It made me super thirsty and need to pee even more than normal (I was glad they didn't make me wait too long before calling me back for my routine pee test). I'm sure glad that I know for certain now that I don't have gestational diabetes though. That's one less thing to worry about.

27 Weeks 4 days

This was taken because a friend wanted to see a progress shot. It happened to be the only picture that was taken as well.

Lull in the storm

We got this awesome hail storm today, while it was sunny out. It was kind of cool.

sorting clothes

After our trip home from the baby shower a few weeks back, the clothes we were donated all ended up mixed up in bags. wanting to clean out at least a little room, I decided to sort clothes today. unfortunately, most of the clothes are ones that can't go in storage under the bed, since we'll need them sooner, rather than later.

"productive" day

We had the computer drop calls left and right on us tonight. plus, I was on the phones for almost 5.75 hours straight (yay for 10 minute dinner breaks and two or three pregnant lady bathroom breaks!) I made 248 calls, and only had 10 completes. Sadly, the computer dropped 3 of my calls, and there wasn't a way to re-dial them right away. :P

Cleaning stuff

I got a job doing some white glove cleaning/between semester apartment cleaning. this is the bucket of stuff I picked up at the dollar store for it. everything in the bucket (including the bucket) is from the dollar store :)

Space Ducks

The baby shower tonight had a sci-fi theme. Ducks like these were both party favors and center pieces. We were sent home with a complete set. I'm sure that our little boy will have a good time with them.

Computer innards

Drew was super proud of the work he did building his sister's computer, and how clean it was inside. He took a few pictures to show off to people at work. They also happened to be the only pictures taken today

Yet another change

They are making another change to our schedule at work for the rest of April, starting on the 10th. This was so I could remember later exactly what changes were being made and when.
