Sunday Morning Rituals: The Final Stretch

Foodblog-3745

Matt sleeps, and I make pancakes.

I savor pancakes while watching House Hunters.

Matt wakes up, watches TV, eats pancakes.

I launder the linens.

How many of these lazy Sunday mornings do we have left? No more than 3!

Foodblog-3739

Today’s cakes were Great Harvest mixology with sliced peach. Topped with almond butter and chocolate sunflower seeds!

Foodblog-3741

Hot mug of decaf – pretending it’s October already!

Foodblog-3

I have a tentative meet up today and a home cooked dinner on the docket for tonight. Other than that – nothing to do!

    Every time I check your blog I always say to myself, “I wonder if she had her baby yet…”
    But today I only found pancakes! They look good as always 🙂

    Love the mug! I see those sunflower seeds eeeeverywhere and I try so hard to resist them. On pancakes = pure magic.

    Savor the next few weeks! I’ve never had a baby (HA), but I can imagine that you won’t get much sleep. x’s and o’s to you, Matt, Karen, and the baby!

    I can’t believe less than 3 sundays to go! It’s so crazy! It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago when you guys were announcing your pregnancy. So fun. I’m looking forward to seeing how these next couple weeks progress and “meeting” the little one. 🙂

    There’s hope. We have had a pretty lazy Sunday around here. Up at 8:45, coffee, watermelon, cereal, the latest episode of Breaking Bad. Now, 1 a.m. was a different story with el Vampire Baby.

    A lot of parents say “enjoy it while you still can” like there is impending doom in your future but thats not the case at all! I have 6 month old twins so I am telling you to “enjoy it while you can”…not as a warning but as advice I never really took full advantage of!

    Cram as many date nights, cuddles, movies, dinners, naps, baths, and lazy mornings into the next three weeks that you can!! You are a family of two now and that is soon to change…but it only gets better from here! Soon your days will be filled with so many kisses and giggles you won’t even know what to do with yourself. Your days will be focused on the baby completely so it will be hard to find extra time for yourself but when you do it will be even more magical than it already is haha.

    What I’m trying to say is that you need to soak up the last three weeks as a couple and really enjoy the freedom that comes along with that BUT do not fear losing your free time…it will change, thats for sure, but in the craziest way…you don’t care because the baby will bring a happiness to you both that you didn’t realize was every missing! Haaaaaaaave fun!!!

      What a beautiful way to describe the addition to a family. I haven’t had any children so I can only imagine how magical, exciting, demanding, tiring, and worth every moment it is. You both have such a good foundation as a couple, I can only see that as getting stronger when your baby boy enters the world.

    You will have lazy Sundays. There will just be a NEW lazy. It might involve playing on the floor with a giggling baby, or taking a leisurely family stroll with a sleeping baby. Enjoy this lazy, and look forward to the new lazy!

    i agree with the above posters!! We have a 3mo old little girl and still had a lazy Sunday morning! I was up at 7am to feed, hubby played with our daughter while I pumped (lots of morning milk=pumping to have in freidge/freezer for work days), she went back to bed at 8am and then we both went back to bed until 10:15am!! Very lazy indeed. 🙂
    Kath- are you doing any freezer meals? extra food prep to have in the freezer? I’d be curious to hear your plans! 🙂

      I’m not making a big freezer meals because I’m just not very good at them, but I am stocking up on freezer staples for quick meals – frozen fish, burgers, veggies. Plus pantry things like pasta, the tomato sauce we canned, beans and things. We ARE good at 15 minute meals : )

        LOL, gotta love those 15min meals! 🙂 I made 6 (!) loaves of banana bread (my husband’s fav) and a couple batches of mini-muffins the day before I went into labour…2 weeks early. The freezer meals obviously never got made, but it was nice to have muffins/bbread to take out of the freezer and have on hand to offer to all the visitors!

    Hi Kath,
    I’m new to your blog & have tried quite a few of your recipes and have really enjoyed them!
    Your homemade tomato sauce looked yummy and might be just the ticket for way too many garden tomatoes. Do you share your recipe?
    Thanks-really enjoying your blog!

    I don’t have kids but friends who do say you’ll still do what you used to, but you’ll never spend as much time as you want doing what you want…. ’til the kids are out on their own!

    Thank you so much for sharing your journey; it makes me scared and hopeful simultaneously that some day I might have children!
