sweet like maple: 07.2008

http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

You may already be dreaming. 31 weeks (last week). I feel like I can't possibly get any bigger, but today I'm at 32 weeks, so I still have 8 to go, and only one way to grow - out! I sat in it and rocked for about ten minutes . . . long enough to worry my dog, who stood, whining, looking at me. Probably wondering how this chair was taking me so far away from him - I just sat there, staring out into space. Thinking about holding Finn, instead of only feeling him move inside me. . Don't get lost in heaven.

I will say, though, the emotional fulfillment of kissing his marshmallow cheeks makes every gruesome detail totally null and void. . Only in it for the rain. So *this* is what labor feels like . . .  . It feels like very deep, all consuming cramps. . I've been walking around, tidying the house, resting on my side, laboring on the toilet and the yoga ball, etc. . I guess this baby's actually coming out. . Rock me mama like a wagon wheel. It's hard to tell. I'm banking on the fact that at some point co...

http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Preparing every part for you. Beginning to pray in earnest, truly seeking. Opening my heart to God. Asking to see his face and hear his voice. I feel close to him today. Sweet Elohim. . Reading many books lately. It's summertime, and I have about ten books in mind that I would like to read. Not to mention the sprinkling of baby and parenting books we bring home from the library. . I love feeling him move. . Well, the semester is finally over. I finished the bathroom project and it looks wonderful. It...

sweet like maple: wired for light

http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2009/04/wired-for-light.html

The baby's teething. Needless to say, I did not enjoy much sleep last night. In other news, I've got my eye on this little number. Which I hope to find time to make in the near future. This week is forecasted for some cold weather, and those cookies would certainly keep me warm and toasty inside. Tonight our good friend Jessica is coming over and bringing her homemade chili. Need I say more? Alright, I will. This friend happens to be an incredible cook, who once made kolache. Still missing. Drat. Our gin...

sweet like maple: i am under no disguise

http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-am-under-no-disguise.html

I am under no disguise. I am invigorated. Today the wind is whipping, the sun is shining, and I found this fabulous guide. Of places to eat in Atlanta. I feel indebted to the Amateur Gourmet for highlighting some of Atlanta's best gems, and for imparting some knowledge I wasn't aware of - Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock cooked (and lived) together when Watershed opened. Who knew? Okay, so the spinach seedlings have come up. He'll get the hang of it, I'm sure. He does better if I allow him to feed himsel...

Lovesong of the buzzard. 37 weeks today. Or maybe 39? I don't feel fearful of the pain anymore, just curious about labor, and super ready to see our baby. I just can't wait to touch those little feet that are constantly stretching out my skin. . Needless to say, I'm ready for the baby. . If he came this week, it would be inconvenient for my job, since my last day isn't until Saturday, but I'm sure they would find a way to deal with the inconvenience of my uncovered shifts. I'm really just ready! Our road...

sweet like maple: you are my sanity

http://sweetlikemaple.blogspot.com/2009/03/farmers-market-is-open-again-saturday.html

You are my sanity. The Farmers' Market is open again! Saturday was the first day - I arrived with a cranky baby and hungry husband, both of whom stayed in the car while I braved the chilly, windy grey weather for the first Farmer's Market of the year. Here's a picture of my loot. The oyster mushrooms are my favorite. I chopped up some spinach, stemmed and sliced some oyster mushrooms, and sauteed them in some olive oil and sea salt. I served them alongside scrambled eggs, and that's what we had for d...

So many territories ready to reform. I really should not be updating - I have a million things to do. Realizing that Sean and Ben were about to leave, and that we would be departing to the southeast for the holidays, on Tuesday I planned a spur-of-the-moment get together for Friday night - that's tonight! I'll try to remember to snap some photos tonight so I can show all you lovely people how the event turned out. Tall tales, telltales. Go ahead, do it. You won't be sorry. Makes about 34 cookies. In a sm...

You forgot it in people. I sing the joys of motherhood. . Today my son puked a mucous of half digested milk all over my neck and shoulder. Of course it was a clean shirt. Why do I try? Now I have time to scrub some dishes! Now if I could just find an incredible recipe for whole wheat brownies. . Littlest birds sing the sweetest songs. It's the most beautiful smile I've ever seen. . Here's some really good songs: . Wizard Flurry Home" by Mariee Sioux. It's Only Me" by Elvis Perkins . Don't Be Upset" by Je...
