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...

Salmon Cakes

Sometimes it is hard for me to like fish. I was never a fish fan growing up and there are still many fish that I just can’t make myself like. That fishy smell and taste, and that worry that a fish bone might end up in my throat just kind of makes me nervous. Ok, I realize I am probably not turning you non-fish lovers onto fish with this description. But let me give you a few reasons that might make you open your mind just slightly to giving fish a small place in your diet. The oils in fish, especially the ones in salmon, are terrific for your body. Not only are they heart healthy, but they help make your skin, nails and hair more radiant – couldn’t we all use a little more shine to our hair and nails? That benefit alone forces me to set aside my prejudice and find recipes that make eating fish a more tasty and appealing option. This recipe is a great example for anti-fish converts. Salmon cakes are a great dish for lunch or light dinner. The Dijon mustard and scallions add flavor th...
