Salsa Sizzle! Pregnancy drizzle....

I have fed my daughter a fresh tomato slice. Now for the wait to see if her lips turn red or if she gets hives from it. Since I am thinking that it may be a factor of how much over how short a time span I may give her another tomato later on today just to make sure. Otherwise I am back to wondering what it is that made her break out? The rest of the tomatoes are to be turned into a salsa! I picked up the cucumbers, jalapeno banana peppers, and fresh cilantro and I think celery and onions are added into the mix too but I haven't received Raven's salsa recipe from her yet so I am not entirely sure. Hint hint! Still anyway it is made it will use up this plethora of tomatoes that I received and grew this year.

Since I can't remember what else I wanted to blog about I think I'll leave it at that!

Oh wait I remember now....

Pregnancy Detail that is gross but must be shared!

Why is it that when a 7 month pregnant lady goes walking she immediately feels pressure on her bladder? I mean I went to the bathroom before leaving the house but as soon as I am moving my bladder tries to tell me "Pee Time! Now! Pee Time! Pee Time NOW!" And if I go to the bathroom upon returning it is a small dribble. Grrrrr! I hate this stage. The third trimester is a good one because it means your in the home stretch, but come on I do not have that many inner organs displaced by this gestational parasite. Of course then there are the Braxton hicks contractions. (I am sure my spelling is off on that one)

I mean if I go driving for 20 minutes now I end up having these waves of muscles going "Haha just you wait til its the real deal missy!" I have trouble getting out of bed (common complaint at this point) and am starting to think I should do sit-ups just so my stomach muscles really have something to complain about! Of course going back to the pee problem I am now at the stage where I am lucky if I get 6 hours of sleep at night. Sigh! I hate having to get and go the bathroom every 2 hours. Yes, yes I know it is my body's way of getting me ready for when the baby wants to be feed every 1-3 hours. Sigh! I had a lady at Safeway read my shirt and comment on it saying she liked it. "Damn right I'm good in bed - I can sleep for days." Me, I think it is totally appropriate at the moment. Mainly because all I really want to do is just sleep like I have nothing to get up for.

Give me twenty years or so. I hope!

Thank you for the recipe. Too bad I already chopped everything up and then realized I have no jars to put it in. Sigh! It's one of those days.
