Letters to Bunny 2


Well, here we are, already in the home stretch!  It feels like it took a long time, and flew at the same time.  We are just so anxious for you to join us!  

We have your nursery ready to go.  We are getting new windows put in to make your room nice and warm for the winter.  Since I call you bunny, we have lots of stuffed bunnies and books about bunnies to read to you.  Your brother brought his little rocking chair in your room, next to my rocking chair, and he reads to my belly.  I think you can hear him, you kick me sometimes when we are reading.  

Dad and I have our bags packed and ready to go to the hospital.  We still have just over a month, but we want to be prepared.  I haven't been feeling the best,  I think that means that you are growing big, and taking all of my energy!  I wouldn't have it any other way.  We can all feel and see you move in my belly.  I can feel you get your hiccups, it's so cute!  I also think I feel what feels like you sucking your thumb, your brother did the same thing.  

We can't wait to see if you are a boy or girl.  Mom and Nate think girl (and a lot of other people!)  Dad says boy.  I wonder who is right...

Even though I have been feeling so tired and sick, I am REALLY going to miss having you in my belly.  I love knowing that you are right here with me.  I love feeling your swimmy movements.  

We will get to see you and hold you soon!  

We love you Bunny!
Mom, Dad and Nate

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...

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...
