If you've read any of my cooking blogs, you can probably imagine that my freezer is a bit on the full side. Including the three meals of chili that I added to the bunch tonight, my compulsion to cook has given us 31 meals cooked and ready for Baby G's arrival and yes, my freezer looks like a jigsaw puzzle. For your amusement, I have included a picture.
Beyond working on cooking more meals so that Jonathan and I don't need to cook when our little boy arrives, I have also been trying to get some exercise. I do count this as another "project" since it is not nearly as fun as it used to be. Since I hit the third trimester, I have been forced to reexamine what I am physically able to do.
Before I got pregnant, I would run hard on the treadmill for a half hour, do weights and an abdominal workout. Now that I'm nearly 29 weeks pregnant, I have learned that pushing myself at the gym is not a good idea and I've become satisfied with twenty minutes on the elliptical machine. I hope to be able to continue to exercise until close to Baby G's arrival; I've found that I have much more motivation and energy throughout the day if I make it a point to get in a short workout at the gym.
Other than cooking and exercising, the other projects on my "to-do" list have yet to be completed. There are changing pad covers to be sewn, shower gifts to be put away, and thank-you notes to be written. Thank goodness I have a few more weeks!

You are crazy!!! I love it! I have to get my thank you cards written out! It's a task that I am dreading. I should get on that.
