Remember the nursery rhyme baby shower game?
Thirty-Eight weeks of pregnancy bhas some shocking similarities once again to real life. Here are the topics that http://www.whattoexpect.com highlighted.
- Prepare postpartum meals. I know you are being creative with cooking all your fridge and pantry food. I hope you are able to make it home with less stuff.😉
- Double check your bag. You’re packing. So almost the same, double check- not just your bag, but the whole house. Do you have everything? But, not the kitchen sink.
- Go for a walk. Always a good idea to breathe in fresh air, look up at the trees and go for a walk. Shinrin-yoku.
- Research distractions. No, you don’t need anymore distractions. That’s what I’m here for. You, stay focused!
- Wear, loose, cool clothing. Best to be comfortable while packing and cleaning and driving…all 1280 miles. Home!
- Do squat exercises. Lol, and you thought HASfit was just for fun?
- Try labor inducing foods. The babies are coming, the babies are coming! Pineapple, spicy foods and black licorice are just a few!
I made this soup back in the fall, when it was soup weather. The leaves were changing, the weather had cooled, trying to achieve the Dutch hygge feeling of cozy comfort!
It surprised me with how well it turned out. In fact, the whole family really enjoyed it and we even had an extra person, a teenage boy that all happily slurped it up.
I followed her recipe.
