They look tired but they are the ones sleeping...

Cheetos face...

Chocolate chips pancakes.

First photoshoot

A little bit harder than expected...

Feed me Mommy...

Gosh, not the binkie!...

It will take me few days to get it right, the right light and edit them. LOL

Valentine is almost there...Love Valentine!

Doctor appointment

Doc said Soleil is a very strong girl. She will slap you alright! Lol

And he guessed right. She made some damage pushing around when she was inside.Lol

She is back to her birth weight. He said that in 3 days it was impressing and usually doesn't happen.

Right now, pain killers are my friends but i am doing great.

Babies are from heaven

Just a picture of an Angel.

We bedazzle babies

At our house, you will find bedazzled babies. My fairie's creation.

Soleil is such a good baby. Doesn't cry too much and sleeps a lot. I feel very blessed.

Hugs to all. 

Baby Soleil

Our little ray of Sunshine arrived Thursday. 02/02/2012.

Soleil Marie Francoise

6 pounds 15 ounces. 18 inches.

Marie was hubby's Grand-ma. Francoise was my Great Grand-ma.

Soleil (Sun in French) because she is our little miracle and warmth. Oh, so many meanings...She is perfect. very easy and i feel so blessed.

Delivery was my easiest out of the 4.

She looks like my girls. She has their eyes, forehead, nose and cheeks.

I think the mouth and chin are mine.

We are super happy.

Thanks for the support and the love...and i am sure prayers.

First pictures after birth.

Boots (old)

I am in pre labor, it means that i have contractions but the labor is not starting. I always cook my babies very well. Mimi was 9 days late, my boy 7 days late and for my Fairy, i had 2 weeks of pre labor and was induced on her due date. I was 4 cm dilated when i got to the hospital.

My water never ever broke on it's own each delivery...So well, yes. This baby won't come early.

I have 6 more days and i will be induced.

How big is this bunny going to be? 

What do you think?

I am not very big this time as you can see in the pictures.

I am being induced 1 week early because of the gestational diabetes.

XOXO

Pink Saturday

1 week left or is it really?

I love this picture of hubby. He is so good looking.

This picture of my Fairy i think is adorable.

My OB appointment was today. I got an ultrasound but really, the baby is so squashed, i could not see anything. I have to wait for this little girl to be out to see what she looks like.

I had contractions Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Not strong enough to start the labor. My doctor said although that i could start anytime and i can't wait. I really feel crappy.

My baby bag is ready.

Big hugs!!

2 weeks more to go and i want to bleach everything. Random things like you have never seen me write.

The time has come when the house calls me for deep cleaning and germ phobia. My poor beaten body trying to clean the kitchen floor at 9 PM. Staying awake thinking about bleaching the bath tub (the baby is keeping me awake anyways, but still...). Buying a lot of Clorox scrubbing wipes and making the kids scrub everything in sight.

Washing all the baby clothes. Buying things i need for her. Diapers, wipes, Lavender baby shampoo and oil. (Babies are expensive) Having a desire for everything Lavender. 

wanting to cook recipes i know i can't eat. Like Sopapillas.

Watching delivery videos and scaring myself out. 

I had my OB appointment yesterday. Looks like everything is doing good.

They did some monitoring and checked her water. 

I was scared.

I am skinny.

I am starving.

I can't wait to finally see her face. 

I am scared of seeing her (Hope she is perfect).

I just made cookies for the kids after school.

They are very good. The crumbs were good.

Glad it is not snowing in the Valley. I don't want to drive in the snow even if it is 5 minutes away to pick the kids after school.

Letting you know that my blog is not a cooking blog. It's just the only thing i think about these day. Food and it shows.

My craft supplies are still in boxes somewhere and it is driving me nuts.

I just find my maternity clothes. 2 weeks before delivery. Yes. Don't move when you are sick and pregnant. Big NO NO

I am happy, i have cute and comfortable clothes now. Hahaha

Wow, that was random!

Mother, daughter date

Yesterday was all about Mom and Daughter fun.

We made a craft.

Had a cupcake at the Sweet Tooth Fairy.

Then to the store to get her few things she needed.

Was the best day. We had a lot of fun.

Nickelback - Photograph

I could talk about memories and how important they are to me but... this is not about that.

Hubby went to Vegas for work and went to a Nickelback concert.

They rocked.

I am Jealous.

The end.

Cornbread muffins with stuffing ingredients.

I love to make those small individual cornbread muffins.

I make them for Christmas and for parties.

I usually used the ingredients i would use for a stuffing recipe.

Corn muffin with stuffing

2 apples,

1/2 bag cranberries,

6 strips of bacon, 

Hand full of fresh cilantro,

1 box Krusteaz Honey cornbread mix,

Salt ,

Pepper.

Prepare the cornbread mix according to directions.

In a pan caramelize cubed apples, cranberries. Crumble cooked bacon. 

Add the fresh cilantro. 

When the stuffing mixture is cooled, add to the cornbread mix.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Spray muffin pan with oil and spoon your mixture. Follow the cooking temperature on the cornbread box.

Cook until lightly golden.

You could add more ingredients like nuts, leeks, pears...anything you like in your stuffing

Enjoy!

This is very yummy!

Pigs in a blanket recipe

Those are great appetizers and so easy to make. Even my 4 year old helped me and had fun.

Great for parties, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Pigs in a blanket

Hillshire Farm Litl' smokies (smoked sausage here)

Kroger Reduced fat crescent dinner rolls.

Take your litl' sausage and place them at the base of your crescent. Roll.

Place on parchment paper.

Follow temperature on crescent dinner roll package for the oven. 

Cook them on the very golden side otherwise you will get raw dough in the middle.

That's it! 

Enjoy!
