Dry Spell - Means more beans for you

Sorry for the general lack of good blogging around here lately. I'm not sure if it's my new second year schedule (which is slightly easier, meaning I finding myself wasting more time), the fact that not being in the hospital as much means I have fewer good stories to tell, or just the fact that we have been traveling a little more recently, leaving me with less time to think of what to write about.

Most likely it's just a combination of many factors. I've just been feeling a bit overwhelmed by a variety of things lately. Since I don't have anything real to post, I'll share my newest favorite recipe, something I made to bring in my lunch box to work. (That could be a post for another day.)

White Bean Dip
1 can cannellini beans
2 tbsp. olive oil
1-2 tsp garlic
1 tbsp chopped onion
1/2 tsp. fresh grated ginger
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cardamom
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in the food processor. Serve with sliced veggies.

Healthy, full of protein and fiber, and delicious on carrots and tomatoes. I've had some every day this week and will need to make another batch soon. Enjoy!

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
