I am starting on a year long project of making some cheeses. For my first one I made a super simple ricotta cheese. I have a couple of ideas for the next one but I need to investigate a few things and plan it out.


baby2
Taken about a month ago. (looks like a jelly baby to me)

So sometime in late August/Early Sept that will come to...fruitation.

Let me tell you I have had to do a lot of lying. People are suspicious of my fertility or something. Or people just think I am a lush. A number of people have asked me if I was pregnant. And many more have asked, "so are you going to have another." I took to using a lot of carefully worded language. "anymore kids?" "not that I can visibly see in front of me." "Are you expecting more?" "Not this very second."
I could go and work as a press secretary for some government agency. "I can neither confirm nor deny the allegations brought forth against our client and at this time we do not see this being an issue. We will comment at a later date."

January and morning sickness are a lousy lousy combination. Being in grocery stores has been hell. Making dinner has been hell. Imagine your favorite things being sick-inducing torture? There have been so many times I wanted to just post, "OMG I FEEL SO SICK." Stoic mummy yo.

So if it is a girl we will name it Bippy Delite and if it is a boy? Cap'n Aardvark of Fettuccine.

I am reduced to squealing; I will spare you the textual recreation of said squealing.

So happy for you, and so excited for pictures of yet another adorable Jenner baby!

I hope this one isn't funny looking. Apparently I have expectations to uphold.

And here I clicked thinking I was going to read about making cheese! :)

This was MUCH more exciting! Not that cheese isn't exciting in it's own right, but you know, babies and stuff . . .

Congrats and I feel much sympathy for you feeling sick. Cooking really becomes does become awful while pregnant. I hope the sickness eventually goes away!

Congrats! I never did see that coming in this post. I thought maybe you were going to make some fancy cupcakes or something. A sibling for Senor Onion!

Nah, it was buns in the oven, not cupcakes.

Here's your (third) congratulations. I guess this calls the stomach flu/food poisoning theories into question.

From: [identity profile] gfrancie.livejournal.com
No. It was stomach flu.
There is a YOOGE difference between morning sickness and what I had going on. Plus my morning sickness is mostly over.

Congratulations to both you and Mr. Jenner. How do you think Senior Onion will take having another little one running around? I'm sure he will be a fantastic big brother.

I think he will be cool with it. I am not inclined to make the baby a bad news thing. Some parents do and that is a shame.
