On Nesting and Baking

nesting instinct baking: two dozen banana-choc muffins and a triple batch of carrot bread

33 weeks pregnant. I know it looks pretty big here, but this is the actual size...and i still have a month and a half to go. oh dear.

Hello Everybody,
I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog to make it easier to keep all our family and friends updated on our happenings these days especially with all the exciting changes going on in our lives.
For starters, today I am 34 weeks pregnant with our little girl and I think it's finally sinking in that this is going to be happening SOON! I've always heard people say how pregnancy goes so fast for others, but when it comes to yourself it seems to take forever. For some reason mine feels like it has really gone so quickly.

I think I've been getting the "nesting instinct" recently. I am not an organizer by nature, actually more of a pig at times, which my family and husband can attest to. But this week I've had this great urge to clean, organize, bake and cook, (freezing most of it). It's great...The other day I went through all my clothes and packed away what I won't use until post-baby. The walk in closet is tidier than I've ever seen it and it feels SO GOOD having things in order. Yesterday I made a triple batch of carrot bread, reducing the sugar. I usually use nearly all whole wheat for my baking but sometimes you just need some good old white flour. The muffins were just a regular banana bread recipe which i dumped a good pile of cocoa powder into and baked in muffin tins. They came out super moist and chocolaty.
