So, I thank you Lea for posting one of these in my absence (or more, I haven't scrolled that far down) and to everyone else for keeping some posting going! I wish I hadn't vanished into thin air like that without some kind of prior warning, but what can you do?

So here's a new check-in/roll-call so I can update the stats thread and what not.

Are you a lefty or a righty?

One month down for summer! How are we feeling? HOT...I've been spending most of it unpacking and have made myself sick a couple of times. I'm going swimming tomorrow

How far along are you now? 34 weeks and 4 days

Do you feel like your pg is going fast/slow at this point? FAST....way to fast I can't believe in a month I won't be pregnant

What are you craving/eating lately? Wanna share any good recipes? Curry. I've been using curry paste from my supper market. I saute chicken and onions on the stove. Then I cook frozen peas and cauliflower in the microwave and add them to the skillet. I pour the curry paste in and add water and simmer till YUMMY ! Then I just serve it with rice. If I have them I add baby carrots as well

How are you sleeping? Two hours at a time. Then I wake up and can't get to sleep

What else do you need to buy before baby arrives? Her room isn't decorated yet. I've got a pack-n-play for her to sleep in our room, but I've got all the basics covered

How are your clothes fitting? They're holding out. I refuse to go buy anthing

For you . . .

Do you wear a watch? If so, which wrist? When I have on to wear I wear it on my right hand. My last one broke a year ago and I'm allergic to a lot of them. I might hint to my husband that would make a nice gift

Are you a lefty or a righty? Right handed, but I can stir two pots at the same time at different speeds in the kitchen. That always impresses my DH

1 can of kidney beans, drained and washed
tomato's
green peppers (?)

Dressing:
8 oz. Thousand Island dressing
1/4 c. Western Dressing
1/3 c. sugar

Brown beef with 3/4 package of taco seasoning. Mix onion, lettuce, doritos, and kidney beans. If you like tomatos and peppers, you can add those.

Mix the dressings, sugar, and the rest of the taco seasoning.

Enjoy the salad!

How are you sleeping? I'm not. I'm just so tired I can't sleep anymore.

What else do you need to buy before baby arrives? A LOT still!

One month down for summer! How are we feeling? We're feeling miserable and we're already way past ready for summer to be over. It's impossible to get away from the heat

How far along are you now? 32 weeks + 1 day

Do you feel like your pg is going fast/slow at this point? It depends on my mood, to be honest. For the most part, time is just dragging. Every day is going by so slowly

What are you craving/eating lately? Wanna share any good recipes? I've been eating popsicles like there's no tomorrow

How are you sleeping? It takes me forever to fall asleep. I can't get comfortable and I'm pretty much lying down all day to begin with that I'm just plain restless. But I wake up every three hours on the hour so it seems

What else do you need to buy before baby arrives? We just need to officially move house and start work on the nursery. So we're hoping he'll stay in for a little while longer

How are your clothes fitting? Tight, tight, tight!!

For you . . .

Do you wear a watch? If so, which wrist? I have some really boney wrists, and I cannot wear watches at all. It just hurts too much, or at least it's really uncomfortable

Are you a lefty or a righty? I'm a lefty, but I can write just as well with my right

One month down for summer! How are we feeling? Tired of summer already but not ready to go back to school in the fall (I'll be asst teaching at the private school my kids attend).

How far along are you now? I guess 7.5 weeks

Do you feel like your pg is going fast/slow at this point? SLOW. I found out sooo early that I was expecting so I think it makes time go by so slow now.
