The 9th Month

I was thinking that I should post about all the changes that my body is going through this month. It has been rather interesting, but also very personal. I know that I would love to have a kind of play-by-play of a friends 9th month to read right now... so if you would like me to post I will, otherwise I will assume that it is totally gross, and I'll keep things to myself.

Super Yummy

Tonight we had the BEST slow cooker meal so I thought I would post it.

Asian Short Ribs

3 lbs. beef short ribs
1 jar (7.6 oz) plum sauce
2/3 c. ketchup
1 T. rice vinegar
2 T fresh ginger, grated

1. Brown meat.

2. Place meat in slow cooker.

3. Mix other ingredients together and pour over the meat.

4. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours.

5. Serve and enjoy!

Lookin' Good

... That is what my Doctor said at my 9 month(!!!!) appointment yesterday. Simone's little head is down, she weighs 4 lbs. right now, and is about 17 inches long. She should stay the same length, and gain about 1 lb. a week, so at 5 weeks to go... she should be a big girl.

Question

I am planing to make some swaddling blankets, burp cloths, and bibs for the baby. The more I think about this plan the more I am worried that I will not make enough or that I will make way to many, although having to many wouldn't be so bad I guess... I would just feel silly. How many of each item should I make? Any advice?

Gettin' Big

Well, it took long enough didn't it. Here is a picture from about 3 weeks ago. Simone has grown quite a bit since then. I'll be posting another belly pic soon along with some pictures of the nursery.

P.S. Isn't my husband cute!
