(This was during the time when we were beginning baby prep, and we were looking at options to make large meals quickly and also options for pre-preparing meals to freeze for when our hands were tied with newborns.)
And this is what we made:
And that's exactly where we are at.
Sitting on the foundation of our family history, like that Croc Pot on Abuelita Manuela's tile from when André's parents lived in Brazil (and that we now use as a hot pad). Family foundations and slow cooking.
The Dr. just re-checked Kristin, and it looks like we have a while yet to go. Y "Be patient," he said with no irony to the patient. And so, we wait while this process cooks on low for some time yet!
The family morale team has gone for pizza from escape from New York, with a promise not to return empty handed. It just so happens to be exactly what Kristin wants more than anything else when she can finally eat again after the birth(s). Not one slice, but two. And a root beer.
In the meantime, we are going to take advantage of this lull and try and get some rest for a few hours before things really pick up.
