31 weeks

Well, we have now made it to 31 weeks. Next Saturday will make me 32 weeks pregnant! 8 whole months! I am just starting to get to the point where pants/shorts are becoming an issue. They aren’t fitting, even though they are maternity.

I took Hubby on Friday morning to Greg’s house to get on the RV at 5am. It was early. They got it all packed up and hit the road by 5:30am. They rolled into Vegas about 7:00pm my time (6pm their time). He was pretty tired. He drove the last stretch including around the city.

My mom moved in Friday night. It’s been pretty mellow here. She went to Supper Solutions with her Red Hat ladies yesterday. She made 4 meals. She said it was fun and easy. They have everything pretty much ready to go for you; you just package it up and take it home. So, last night we tried their Chicken Apricot Pitas. They were pretty tasty and so was the fried zucchini we had to go with it. And the strawberry shortcake we had for dessert later wasn’t bad either.

For those of you who don’t know what Supper Solutions is, I will do my best to explain. They have a menu you choose from, and then you go to their shop and prepare the main course of a meal. So, for the apricot chicken pitas, they provided the apricots all diced up, the cooked chicken diced up, the mayo and spices to mix in, plus the pitas cut in half. You put them into freezer bags and bring it home, when you want to eat it, you defrost it and there ya go, a meal! They also do steak dishes, fish dishes, chicken dishes, not all are pre-cooked. Some, once you defrost them you need to cook them. But like for a steak dish they provided the spices to marinade. There was a chicken cordon blue that you had to wrap the ham around the cheese and then the chicken around the ham. I hope that gives you a better explanation. Pretty much, they take the prep work out of preparing a main dish to make it easy for you at home. Here is their website:

There are several different companies that do this now. I have heard of Dream Dinners, and there is another one opening up not to far from our house. And just yesterday I got a flyer in the mail about a 4th company opening one in Rockrimmon, (another part of town). Americans are all about ease and convenience these days!

Yesterday was hot. We put out the baby pools for the dogs. Bristol was the only one to take advantage of them. He would run from one to the other. He had a blast! Especially once we put some balls in the pools. He chased them around the water. At one point he even laid down in one! He was having a blast. At some point during the afternoon, I think he finally convinced, or tricked, Maggie into getting in. Because the next thing I knew she was soaking wet also. Buddy had no interest in the water. It was a real treat for them and we will have to do it again, because Bristol LOVES water!

Well, I guess I should go sort laundry and take a shower. My mom ran home for a few hours, and when she gets back we are heading to Target.

Here is what Baby girl K is up to now:

She was doing the Samba in my tummy the other night. She was kicking like I have never felt her kick before! We may have a dancer on our hands!
