gearing up for griffin

updated: the cookie recipe is linked in this post... just scroll over "this recipe" and you can click to find the recipe. don't know why everyone is having trouble seeing the link... sorry. it has been there all along! :)

i had an appointment today.
no important news was shared, but i am 35 weeks and 3 days!
griffin is head down and in position.
his heart rate was wild... doc's words exactly were "he is revved up in there!" HA!
I was dilated 1/2 a centimeter four weeks ago and we'll see if there has been any more progress next week.
i have, however, been having minor contractions since Sunday.

a friend gave me a recipe that makes griffin and i both really HAPPY!! Buy a roast, stick it in a crock pot, pour a jar of peppercinis on top and a little water to cover meat. Let it cook all afternoon. Shred some meat onto some french bread, cover with cheese (i LOVE swiss) and broil for a few minutes! OK, really? so easy and SOOOOO YUMMY!!!!
i also bought some new slippers. lance says they're "lame" and i agree, but you can't beat $4.98 when there is no selection and you want warm feet. you can't have a baby and not have slippers!

and my newest addiction.... chocolate chocolate chip cookies. this recipe is to DIE for - SERIOUSLY!!! if you are a chocolate lover....this one is for you!

anyway, we are ready griffin! come anytime you'd like! :) even riley talks about you ALL the time! family of six... "no pressure, no problem" (ha... yeah, right!)

  1. The beef looks awesome.
    The slippers are not lame. I'd say quirky. I like quirky.
    The cookies look delish.
    Praying for Griffin's delivery!

  7. I love the looks of everything in this blog! Allie, you took a great picture of your mama. I like the slippers and can't wait to try the roast recipe. I too am waiting for the cookie recipe, even tho I can't bake cookies well.Griffin is revved up??? That's a tad scary but I know if anyone can handle "revved" up, it's you and Lance. We're anxiously waiting!
