Ok, so I haven't posted in a while. What else is new?! Hahaha...

We're sick right now - the usual bout with the cold at this time of the year. It started with DS on Saturday. By the end of Sunday, both girl had it too. Then last night, I felt myself coming down with it too. So here I am, just feeling sick. Ugh! Oh well...

We got our Christmas tree last Saturday. It's up but still bare. We were planning on decorating last Sunday, but the lights are kept in the garage and I couldn't reach them. DH was on another 24-hour duty. It's every 4 days this rotation. Tiring for him but it's also taking its toll on me. Well, at least there's light at the end of the tunnel - this rotation ends the week before Christmas. Then, he's off till I give birth! Woohoo! I think I really need another pair of hands to help with the kids. I just feel so tired and grumpy. All you mommies out there understand what this last trimester is like!!!

Last night, I made a very yummy beef pot roast! So easy too! I got it from the Food Network site - a recipe by Giada deLaurentis. I had seen her make it on her show and it looked incredibly easy. Tried it last night... and it was yummy! Very simple ingredients too. Boneless chuck roast. Onions. Mushrooms. Garlic. Red wine. Beef broth. Salt. Pepper. And it came out soooo tender. Loved it!

So, what else?

I've got another Dr. appt. tomorrow morning. BIL is taking DS to school because I won't make it on time for the appt if I wait to drop DS off. I'm sure they'll be fine... but a Mom can still be a bit anxious, can't she?

I can't believe I'm 32 weeks now. Gosh! it won't be too long before this baby comes. The thought is just daunting to me. And I've been taking this pregnancy one day at a time that the reality of it all seems to have been lost till now. Whew! I am going to push out another baby. Goodness me! The anxiety is starting to set in. Ahhhh...

To end this post, I'll share a scrapbook page I made. I've been feeling anxious that it felt good to write and create something about my blessings. Count your blessings, ika nga.
