35 Weeks Pregnant and Counting!
I am now 35 weeks and 2 days into this pregnancy! I really am excited and ready to have our new little guy! I am starting to be at the point that I want to clean, clean, clean this house up along with a lot of other things I want to get done.
I would like to can some soups, mainly Taco Soup and Chili, so I have some quick back up meals. I also might make and freeze some meals. I am not counting on very many meals from friends considering I will more than likely have the baby close to Christmas as I did with our almost 2 year old, Rachael.
Our refrigerator quit working Monday evening and we had to throw out a lot of things-eggs, milk, meats, etc. I was frustrated to say the very least. We put all of the frozen things in the deep freezer and then unplugged it. DH talked to a repairman who suggested we do this. He thought it sounded like the coils were froze up. After DH got home from work he used the shop vac to vacuum out the under side and inside of the fridge. We left it unplugged while we went to the City of Mount Vernon's Christmas dinner-DH works for the city. We plugged it back in and put thermometers in both sides and then went to bed. We were overjoyed to find it was working again this morning. Lesson learned: clean the dust out of your fridge's underside and internal parts to prevent the blockage of airflow that will cause the coils to freeze over resulting in the loss of lots of $$ in food items. 

Well, I'm off to try to make some sense of my messy kitchen from yestday's ordeal.

I can't beleive how fast the time has flown (at least for me) with your pregancy. How wonderful that that little bundle will be here soon!
I hope you have a wonderful few weeks leading up to Christmas. I'm not sure how much blogging I'm going to be doing, but I wanted you know that I'm thinking of you and visiting you often.
Have a great weekend.
