If you have been reading Whipped, you know how much I love to bake. Well, these past 9 months have been the baking project of my life. I tend to write about food more than my personal life so I have not mentioned my pregnancy thus far, at least not directly. It certainly had something to do with my less than creative recipes in late summer, severe need for donuts now and then and emotional outbursts about things like less than perfect photography.
This week some time, I hope to welcome this little gal into my kitchen. So, I may not respond to questions and comments for a little while. However, keep checking in! I will be posting up until the special day. And, I have a little back log of recipes that I have ready to pop up when I can. (I will likely spend weeks eating frozen foods and casseroles from kindly neighbors.) Finally, I am extremely excited to be featuring a few guest chefs and food lovers!

Oh congratulations! I realize I don’t know you, but I am excited for you nonetheless. Children are a wonderful gift, among the best things that can ever happen to a person! And a little girl… she’ll steal your heart forever (if she hasn’t already.)
I wish you both an easy birth, and just mom-to-mom, be sure to take every nap you can get. I know everyone says that, but it really is important to take every opportunity to rest in the coming months. You’ll need more energy than you can imagine as the days tick by.
Enjoy the time with your new baby. I’m so happy for you both! Congratulations again!

I am so very excited for you!
Little girls are so special. You will certainly be in my thoughts this week. And those casseroles will really come in handy! I still remember standing in our kitchen at 3 AM and devouring an entire loaf of banana bread some kind neighbor had baked for us…

[…] Am I just talking myself into this new acceptance of fat free sour cream because I am so desperate to lose a little weight and regain my pre-pregnancy body? Maybe. But, for now it is working. […]

[…] Right before I had my daughter, I posted about the “casseroles from kindly neighbors” I expected to be eating after her birth. We did enjoy delicious pastas, chili and hearty comfort foods. Just when I thought the charity was over and I was back on my feet cooking again, we received a delicious surprise. A mid-morning tap on my door announced my neighbor, Tracy, and the delivery of a beautiful, refreshing, vegetarian meal. […]
