I made something kinda cool for dinner tonight…white chicken chili with quinoa-Quinoa being the cool part. Ever hear of it? It looks like a grain but is actually the seed of a leafy green some what like spinach. It’s got lots of good vitamins and minerals…so much better then rice. It has the texture of barley and some say a nutty flavor-but I think it tastes like whatever you cook it with. Bub loved it, so it’s good with kids too. It isn’t the easiest thing to find. I’ve never seen it in the grocery store, but did find it at Whole Foods. I’m sure any store like that would have it. It’s simple to cook and much better for you then rice or couscous. So go out and buy some tonight! Ha, just kidding…I just really liked it and feel kinda cool for making it.

This is why it is better to buy new when it comes to baby stuff. It sucks that baby stuff is so expensive and doesn’t get used for that long…but I’d rather find the money from some where then have something like this happen

I’m a guest writer on pregnancy weekly! Check it out…it’s a great site-top on my list of favorites! Which you may notice is missing from mooshoo…but Ev will be adding it soon.
So I had my last prenatal visit today…I’m now dilated 3 cenimeters and fully effaced. The doc says my cervix is ready to go and the contractions just need to get going. We set up the date for induction-Tuesday, June 7th. I’m so hoping to go before then but atleast it’s not to far off. The end is very near 🙂 I’ve been in so much pain though. I can’t sleep at night too much pain and pressure in the whoha area. Not even sitting up works. Walking hurts…well everything hurts. Bub is doing really well, he’s been a pretty good boy for the most part. I think he knows I need some down time…I just wish I could nap during the day. I wonder if he senses things are about to change. He’s been pretty clingy lately. Usually when anyone else is around-esp Ev-he wants nothing to do with me. You know boring old mom-who’s always around.
I wish I could let things go around the house and not stress out over them…I keep worrying that I will go into labor and leave a messy house behind. Stupid-huh?!?! So even when I don’t feel like cleaning I do. Can’t have dishes and laundry laying around. It’s more then just dishes and laundry too…I have 21 month old tornado who’s main goal in life is to destroy everything I clean. I can be in one part of the house and he’ll be in another destroying it. Then we switch. Constantly fighting a losing battle. But atleast it fills a day. Well off to do the dishes…
Another doc visit today…I’m 2 centimeters and fully effaced. Doc says I could go at any time and we’re just waiting now. I have another apt next week that if I make it to-I will be scheduling my induction. So I know now that I offically only have 2 weeks left and boy does that feel good. I mean 2 weeks is a long time and I hope not to be induced but atleast I have an end. I sure would like to do this one on my own…but if I don’t oh well..I also don’t want to wait for Aidan to decide to come out. It’s getting hot and my belly is enormous…doing just about everything is ackward. I’m ready to wrestle with bub again and sleep on my stomach (when I do get to sleep) Well you know how it gets at the end…I don’t care how complicated our lives are going to get- I can handle it-just as long as I get my body back.
