From the kitchen: I tried a few new recipes this week and the results were underwhelming.  They sounded good, but didn't live up the promises.  Oh well, I tried.  Plus, I did stock the freezer with more marinated chicken and steak ready to cook.  By the time the baby arrives, I want the freezer completely full.  That way I won't be eating a ton of fast food, but I also won't have to do as much grocery shopping and cooking.  Sounds like a win-win.

Crafting: I finished a set of Thank You cards and a set of Arrival cards for the baby.  I have 16 of each and each one is slightly different.  I love how they came out.  Can't wait to actually send them to people.

Watching: Star Trek: TNG S5, Monk S4, various movies for my Month of Movies, and Elementary S1.  We resisted watching Elementary because of our love for the BBC's Sherlock.  But we were feeling the Sherlock withdrawal and decided to try one episode.  It's a very American version of Sherlock, but I do love Jonny Lee Miller's portrayal of him.  I think he keeps me watching.

Pregnancy Update: I had my (hopefully) last diagnostic ultrasound.  Things looked great.  Arthur was measuring 35 weeks 6 days (I was 34 weeks 1 day) and a little over 6 pounds.  Now I'm thinking he may just arrive early.  We'll see.

From Nature: After beautiful temperatures in the 70s, suddenly we got temps in the mid80s.  Not loving this!  I want lower 70s or even high 60s.  I love fall weather, but mid 80s just doesn't put me in the fall mood.  Plus, I find it difficult to enjoy my hot pumpkin spice lattes while sweating from the heat.

Shopping Scores: So much shopping! I'm amazed I didn't kill myself the other day.  I snapped up some household necessities (shampoo, etc), two sleep sacks for baby, five onsies for baby, some crafting supplies (snail, dies, page inserts), some cute short rockstar boots for fall, and a diaper bag that isn't a diaper bag.  Plus, I ordered our travel system and crib and those should arrive on Monday.  I'll post pics once J puts everything together.  All told, I am feeling more comfortable about the imminent arrival of the little one.

Project: Organizing the kitchen, my closets, and the nursery.  I am in full nesting mode.  I want to get everything done and ready for Arthur's arrival.  Unfortunately, my energy levels do not live up to my daily plans.
