Burn, belly, burn

It's been ages since I last blogged. No good excuses from me...just that February has been a really busy month and I'd rather sleep than blog when given the choice.

PapaBear and I have been on vacation all week. Not a vacation that involves going farther away than Kleinburg, but a vacay nonetheless.

Our fave activities to date have included:
- Spending a morning at the McMichael Collection (sitting on each and every gallery bench to stretch out my endurance)
- Recovering our living room ottoman with baby-friendly foam and new microfiber
- Installing BabyBear's car seats (incorrectly, as it turns out...we now have appointments at the spiffy car seat installation centre next week)

In recent weeks, I've also been in full blown nesting mode. Our basement freezer is now home to more than a dozen casseroles, many ladles of soup, and a bounty of baked goods. When BabyBear arrives, we will be well fed.

There is a downside to this culinary commitment. While taking a pan of scones from the oven last night, I managed to forget the immense size of my belly and pulled the pan too close. Where my t-shirt had ridden up (a permanent condition nowadays), I have a red slash stretching across my pasty white skin. Ouch.

Good heavens. You gotta protect that belly! I thought you were gonna say that you accidentally ate about 5 of them. That's what I would've done in your position.

Tabby, a few scones may have disappeared as I nursed my wound. I had PapaBear write me a script for refined carbs and the scones fit the bill.

Feeling so much better now,
