Oh two, it doesn't sound like you are going to make it. Hope you get most of your stuff done. And ramen-my kids would love that! Haha! My hubby can cook thankfully. Try not to stress and take it one day at a time. Please don't send yourself into labor!

DH can cook. He just works all day and then is tired when he gets home and doesn't WANT to cook. I've spent the last 11.5 years teaching him to cook. When we met the man could burn water lol We aren't chefs by any means, and I still have to walk him through stuff from time to time but he does all right

Two, I was planning on doing freezer meals for this time too...what will you make? I already have a batch of chicken noodle in the freezer and I'm sure I'll do chili...what else?

I have a long to do list too...and I'm just soo exhausted and lacking energy that I'm getting frustrated because I'm moving so slowly. 34 weeks in and none of this feels real still. Is that normal? Lol. It's really hard to wrap my head around a baby being here in 6 weeks...like REALLY hard.

I have 5 days till she is due and really wanting her to come on but then it still doesn't feel real. I sometimes forget!! I think that's normal lala!

I'm sooo tired-I don't render being this tired with my others. Also, still not feeling like she's coming anytime soon. Agh!!!

I've done no freezer meals, wish I had. I've seen some good recipes on Pinterest that I wanted to try but haven't. If u all come up with some good ones please share.

I like zucchini slice for a simple freezer meal. You can cut it into portions before freezing and it is great for a breast feeding mum to grab out of the freezer and have with one hand.

I got a lot of recipes off pinterest. I am going to be making things like lasagna, chicken dishes... stuff that takes awhile to prep. Not bothering with quick, easy stuff. DH can just cook those. I figure if it'll take longer to re-heat than to make then it's not worth freezing.

Ohmigosh, so exctiing dpike!!

Two – you're almost there! I'm so with you on the dirty house thing... my back is in such pain at this point that I can't cook or clean right if my life depended on it. The mess and clutter is driving me batty. Hugs and hope you make it!!

Welcome, bogburglarbran! Congrats on the upcoming baby boy!

I'm super lucky to have DoorDash in our area—so we can order delivery from like 300 different restaurants. That's my meal plan for when baby gets here. Ha! It's pretty much how we've been staying alive the past few weeks. My dh does not cook... at least not anything *I* would want to eat. He's an extreme health nut and eats really weird food... like seaweed noodles with kale and dairy-free cheese. (blech) I'll stick with take-out.

Finally got the mold removed! (yay!!) Now I'm currently washing EVERY piece of clothing we own to get mold spores off. I'm at 20 loads of laundry in the last week and counting. So. Tired. I've started having a few real contractions here and there...eek! Homes stretch... at 36 weeks now! Of course both little kids are sick with "beginning of school" colds, I feel like I'm coming down with it, and neither child has slept a full night in the last week. Dh and I are both exhausted. Hoping we can get at least a few days of rest and good sleep before baby comes. I can't imagine going to labor this tired.

dpike- exactly, sometimes I forget too..if it wasn't for my long to do list and being uncomfortable I think I would really forget. I also don't remember being this tired or feeling in such awe that there was a baby coming. Maybe because this wasn't planned and/or was so soon after our last? Not sure...

Bella- what is zuchinni slice?

Girlie- real contractions? Is that normal for you at 36 weeks?

Two- what kind of chicken dishes? Oooohhh what about a pot pie? Wonder if that would freeze ok?

Don't think pot pies would be an issue to freeze, unfortunately not everyone here will eat pot pies though. As for as chicken meals.. nothing fancy. Probably my chicken taco chilli, which is usually made in the crockpot but DH doesn't wake up early enough and I won't feel like dealing with it after so I'll make it and freeze it, chicken enchiladas, BBQ pulled chicken, etc. I went grocery shopping tonight. I had planned an elaborate menu but nah... stick with what I know we like. The kids LOVE lasagna, baked spaghetti and baked zitti so I'll be making that, among other things. I kinda decided I have soooo much on my plate right now and time is running thin so I am just gonna keep it simple.

Lala, Google zucchini slice. It's basically mostly an egg based dinner with lots of bacon and cheese and grated zucchini. It's quite yum and quick but also quite nutritious.

Sounds yummy!

Yeah, I had them with my last baby too. They went on for a couple of weeks, so I'm not too surprised. They're just one or two here and there. Nothing to really indicate labor, just that I need to slow down and rest a bit. This is my 6th pregnancy (two losses), so at my age my body is just over it. lol
