14.5wks!

Alright... it is time to debut the bump.  I realize this blog has been a bit boring lately... sorry about that.  Anyways.... here it is!  Me at 14.5wks and still feeling great!


Did any of you other ladies think it was awkward to stand perpendicular to the wall and turn your head to smile?  It's hard to make your face/neck/arm look good! :) Oh well...

But seriously... Check out the bump!  I'm still feeling surreal about the whole thing- but when I look at this picture.... wowzers! There are babIES in there! Craziness!

We are leaving on Friday to go see my family in NH and I am so very excited!  I have a lot to get done this week.  Dr appt on Monday, find a primary sub (all my go-to's are going to be out of town), have my "helper" (who is going to be watching Sookie while we're gone) come and meet the cat and so I can show her around, get my bangs cut, clean the house.... stuff like that.

This weekend Jon helped me make some freezer meals for when we get back from NH.  I'm also giving a few meals a test run... because I am going to need to start making freezer meals before the babies come... at least that's the goal!  Because, let's face it, life is going to be seriously hectic and the last thing I'm going to want to think about is "what am I going to make for dinner??" Does anyone know how long freezer meals stay good for?  I've made them before, but never kept them for more than a few weeks.

That is one seriously cute bump! :) I have no real advice on the freezer meals though, sorry. I know that my mom did lasagna and chili when she had surgery and she could still eat it like a month later, but that's all I know.

great picture--there is no good way to pose for belly shots, but people are looking at your belly anyway. The freezer meals will be good for a few months, if you wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and put them in a freezer bag.

They are usually good for a few months. I do have a thought to share, though. Having just been through this, I would highly recommend cutting things down into single meal portions. A huge pan of lasagna is great but I wish I had cooked it and then frozen it quartered. We had many nights in a row of the same meals because I didn't think about that.

YES, MAM! I love it, C! You rock the bump! I am so happy for you guys.

Don't feel awkward... you look so great! You're a beautiful mama! :)

You look great, Crystal! Freezer meals are a great idea--I agree with the other comments about sectioning them into smaller portions, and the better you wrap them the longer they stay good. I wouldn't push it past 3 months, though.
