Less than one week, actually, until the due date. I know this doesn't mean she'll be here by then, but it's the only date we have to go off of!
Mr. Webb is taking his last final right now! So she's good to come tonight if she wanted to...
...yeah, right. :)
And it's my happy birthday day! So I'm one year older and wiser, too! Happy birthday to me!
I probably won't post again until after baby is here. But then I'll probably have lots of cute pictures for you to look at! Hooray!

one week later...
I can't get enough peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Mr. Webb even cuts the sandwich in triangles like I love when he makes them for me. Hehe.
I'm really loving orange creamsicles as well.
I've gone from slip on shoes to flip-flops. The tiny bit of swelling in my feet makes it super uncomfortable to wear anything else. So yes, even though the weather has been crazy the last few days, I've worn flip-flops. In the snow. I don't care!
Baby's room is basically done! We just have 4 small pictures to hang up, and we need to fill out her wardrobe. But if she unexpectedly came tomorrow, I'd feel pretty good about it! We are probably as prepared as we're going to be.
I think I have "pre-nesting." Is that real? I look around and see everything that needs to be done, and then I think to myself..."I'll do it later." It really bugs me that it needs done, but I feel to tired and/or sore to actually get it done. Hopefully some real hard core nesting instincts kick in this week since it is spring break for me!

pregnancy update
I'm now 35.5 weeks pregnant. I went to the doctor earlier this week, and everything looked good. Baby was (finally) head down! So here are some things that I've never documented, but want to have down somewhere.
Cravings:
1. Oranges for the first 7 months - I just always bought a big bag of them when I went grocery shopping
2. Apples for the month 8 - I've stocked up on these while grocery shopping, too
3. Progresso tomato basil soup (first 3 months)
4. Orange chicken (only once)
5. Cheetos (only once)
I'm sure Mr. Webb could tell you many more, as he's been the kind hearted one who goes to pick them up for me most of the time.
Other things:
1. In the last month or so, I've started squatting down to pick things up, or sitting on the floor before I remember that...I can't get back up by myself anymore. So, if Mr. Webb is home, I say "Emergency, emergency!" And he knows that he has to come pull me up. :)
2. Baby gets the hiccups at least once a day. At least. I thought it was cute the first few times. Now it's just more uncomfortable.
3. I now wear slip on shoes almost every day. It takes too long to put on shoes that need tied.
4. I have to tell all the kids at school not to touch my tummy.
5. Mr. Webb can't wait for baby to come. If you want to know how long I have left until my due date, ask him. Not me. It takes me a few minutes to figure it out, and he ALWAYS knows. :)

momentary relief

Momentary relief for my desert-like throat.
Thank you, Kool-Aid. Thank you freezer. Thank you husband for bringing me an ice cube-sized popsicle every five seconds.

what i've made lately
I swear I've made cupcakes or cookies or something every weekend lately. Here are some of the things I've made:
- Giant Double Chocolate Cookies - Mr. Webb and I both LOVED these cookies! They were so delicious!
- Snickerdoodle Cookies - Neither of us liked these. They were very dry, and not sweet enough for our liking. We'll not be using this recipe again.
- Strawberry Stuffed French Toast - We were going to make this the Saturday before Valentine's Day, but we ended up car shopping the whole day. We did make it the next Saturday, and not only was it much easier than I anticipated, but it was delicious! We made more the next morning for breakfast!
- Chocolate Chip Cookies - I got this recipe from the Webb family cookie cook book. We took 10 cookies to Mr. Webb's family. The 4 of them still living there ate all 10 cookies that night. We brought the rest to Sunday lunch the next day, and only two were left. This recipe went over so well! Here's the recipe!
Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 oz package chocolate chips
Cream together sugars and butter. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. Sift dry ingredients, then add to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake for 11 minutes at 350 degrees.
