Letters to Bunny





Wow.  I didn't think I would ever be writing these letters, but I am so happy I am!  When I was pregnant with your big brother, we called him Pumpkin when he was in my belly and now I have started calling you Bunny, so that is why I call these, Letters to Bunny.  I didn't think I'd be writing these letters because it took almost 5 very long years to have you!  Now that you are here, I'm still in disbelief, but so happy I get to be a mom all over again!  Thank God!

Being a mom is something I wanted to be my whole life.  When we had your big brother, Nate, it was the happiest time!  I knew right away that I wanted to have another baby.  Unfortunately, it wasn't so easy for me to get pregnant.  I didn't understand why.  We did lots of things to try to have a baby.  I went to many doctors, took many tests and x-rays, and after awhile of doing all these things, I kind of lost hope that I would ever be able to have another baby.  It was a very sad time.  Eventually I just tried to go on with life and be happy, but I always had a feeling that someday, I would have another baby.  I just knew that our family wasn't yet complete. 

This past winter, we decided to take a trip to Disney World.  (Someday we will take you too!)  We had such a fun time riding rides, seeing the fun characters and enjoying the nice weather.  One of the days we were there, I was riding a ride that made my belly do funny flips from going so fast up and over hills.  I realized something felt a little different in my belly.  I started wondering if I could be pregnant.  We went back to the hotel and I found out that I was pregnant!  I couldn't believe you were with me on that roller coaster ride!  Dad and I hugged and were so excited! 

We couldn't tell your brother right away.  He was a little too young to understand about babies being really small.  We waited until we got ultrasound pictures to show him that there was a baby brother or sister of his growing in my belly!  He wanted to be a big brother for such a long time.  He is SO very excited to meet you! You are so lucky to have a big brother who loves you so much!

I haven't been feeling the best, babies in your belly can make you feel sick and really, really tired sometimes.  But through all the sick feelings, I have always, always been so thankful that you get to be my baby.  I cannot wait to meet you and bring you into our family.  You have been so wanted and so loved! 

I love you, Bunny, and can't wait to meet you!
Love,
Mom

Citrus Cookies

In my promise to bake more to perfect my baking skills (or to hone the lack thereof), I have taken to baking citrus cookies.  The first recipe came in my January Everyday Food magazine for Lemon Icebox Cookies.  I made these probably a month ago, they lasted a couple of days and I have to admit, every night I go into the kitchen wanting something...and it's those cookies.  Tonight, Joe was gone which means I don't have to make dinner.  But I still wanted to do something in the kitchen, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to bake. Of course the first thing that came to mind was those lemon cookies.  Problem was, I had an overabundance of limes.  I considered using the same recipe and substituting lime for the lemon, but visions of powdered sugar lime meltaways danced in my head so I hopped on the trusty laptop and found a Martha Stewart recipe for Lime Meltaways.  My inadaptness at baking really shined through tonight.  I di...

Horseradish Encrusted Salmon

I know I've been touting easy, fast meals lately, but this one really takes the cake in simplicity and taste.  Joe took one bite and said, "this tastes like something I would get at a restaurant."  As I've mentioned, the only other adjective I've ever gotten from him on a meal before was "good."  This was a revelation.  Besides being all of the above, this is a healthy, low fat meal.  Definitely something you should be making soon! Horseradish Encrusted Salmon (based on Real Simple recipe) 4  6-ounce pieces skinless salmon fillet kosher salt and black pepper 1/4  cup  bread crumbs (I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs) 1  tablespoon prepared horseradish 1  tablespoon olive oil Heat oven to 400º F. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with tin foil for easy clean up. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, horseradish and oil. Top the salmon wit...
