37 Weeks: Winter Melon Baby

We are officially considered a term pregnancy!  LB is thirty-seven weeks and similar in size to a winter melon.  Speaking of food, Alex and I spent all of this past Saturday preparing meals for when Harper arrives.  It took one entire day, multiple trips to the grocery store and tons of dish washing, but we now have a good two weeks worth of freezer meals.  We had a great time putting our awesome kitchen to use and will be very thankful when we don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning with a new baby.
     
I started my nights rotation this week.  I love working nights, but labor and delivery always packs a ton of action into each fourteen hour shift.  It is hard not getting to see Alex during the week, but Moo sure does love a day time nap buddy :)
   
Alex starting our cooking extravaganza! 
  
 Alex and I used Pinterest recipes to plan our meals.  We bought foil trays from the grocery store so the clean up will be easy those first few weeks.
     
  
 Chopping onions!
  
 We made a mess!
   
 Happy thirty-seven weeks!
       
All clean!
  
 We made two large trays of lasagna, two mushroom and ham quiches, a chicken pot pie, two dinners worth of tortilla soup, two dinners worth of chili, a tray of chicken and pesto stuffed shells, a bag of spaghetti sauce, and a batch of cilantro lime pesto chicken tacos.
  
 Our freezer full of meals!
