Early Release Granted

Well it looks like LO's early release has been granted.  

1st Peri appt: My peri checked and I am dilated, his guess 1-2 cm.  Baby is measured at 5lbs 2 oz.  He suggested I discontinue the progesterone, go out on leave til the baby comes and labor should not be stopped if it starts.  He also predicted I don't make it to the appt he requested I follow up with him on in a week. 

2nd OB appt: My OB thinks my peri is a downer (for the last statement above).  She did my GBS test, baby's hb is strong at 135, she checked and in fact I am 3 cm dilated.  BP still good, lost 1 lb.  She on the other hand thinks I will make it to FT so she scheduled her f/u for 2 wks.  

Now my opinion I am some what on my peri's side because again he "predicted" I wouldn't make it to my next week apt when I was preg with DD#2 on a Tuesday and I went into labor Friday night.  Also I was on 17p's then as well and went into labor the week after my last shot.  Also my pregnancies are like this if I contract I go into labor, if my water breaks it could be forever before I start labor.  And unfortunately I am contracting first this time and my CM has changed and is slowly increasing with each day.  

Tofu Fries n Ketchup

I have succeeded once again. I have made the above from scratch. Well not the tofu I bought that, but all is homemade. Even the ketchup. About 2 weeks ago I found a recipe for tofu fries and it looked pretty good. Even the recommendation from the authors non tofu eating 7 y/o caught my attention so I decided to make them when we had all the right stuff. Well today was that day. unfortunately we were short on ketchup so since I'm already cooking why not make Ketchup too. I found a pretty good recipe that had the same stuff as we had in the house (ie. not a pound of tomatoes).

And here's the finished product:

And the whole family liked it. All the way down to the baby. Alhamdulilah.
