Over the past few days, I’ve been getting a lot of those, “Not too much longer” comments. I feel funny telling people that I still have 4 weeks left (really 3 1/2 since I have a scheduled repeat c-section). One lady said she had just asked another girl my size yesterday and the girl only had 2 days left! How do you react to that?!!!

My husband said that I should just start saying, “What are you talking about? I’m only halfway there.” Now that would probably shut them up pretty quickly. I might try the multiples angle too. Well, I do have four in there. It’s quads. But I’m kind of scared to even joke about that

I’m really not sure if I’ll make it another three weeks, so I really need to pack my bag in advance this time…and soon, just in case.

We recently posted about Healthy, Fun Lunches here on BBA. I’m always searching for creative ways to feed a kid, since I have a picky preschooler who is more of a grazer than a sit-down-and-eat-a-meal kind of child.

Here’s another great post that my friend Leslie came across while blog hopping. It’s called Kid Won’t Eat? This Works for Me! from Cooking on Clover Lane. She offers lots of other great recipes with beautiful pictures to accompany them. Check out all the labels in the right column to jump to recipes titles that look like they will work for your family.

Joshua and Anna Duggar – from TLC’s “18 Kids and Counting” — welcomed daughter Mackynzie Renee Duggar on Thursday, according to People.

The newest Duggar was born at Joshua and Anna’s home, with a midwife and doula assisting in the birth. Although she is the first child for the young couple, both 21, she certainly has a lot of family who were anxious to meet her, with 17 aunts and uncles in the Duggar clan.

In fact, the brood is about to grown again in 2010, as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are expecting their 19th child in the spring.

A special thanks goes out to my friend Leslie who came across this fun blog, Wendolonia, on packing Bento Boxes for lunches and snacks.

Ok, so my Jack might not like all the foods in every picture, but it definitely inspires me to try a few new foods with him and make his lunches more fun. The author, Wendy Copley, shows all of the tools you need (and where to get them). Check out Wendolonia, her blog to see lots of inspiring pictures of the bento boxes she makes for her preschool aged son. And if you’re not familiar with bento boxes, check out her Bento Box FAQ too.

Yes, that’s an MC Hammer “Can’t Touch This” t-shirt. My son took this picture of me or should I say, my belly, the other day.

I bought the shirt from discobelly on etsy. I have to admit that it took longer than it was supposed to to get it, but I finally got it.

I’m starting to think that this shot was calling for a buddha belly shirt like this one from Jellybean Apparel instead

We were blessed to have great support from family and friends along the way. They’ve helped to make the unpacking and the transition much easier. I can’t imagine having done it without them. In fact, we’d still be living out of boxes.

We’re back to updating BBA regularly and I’ll even include some more pregnancy journal entries over the next few weeks. Stay tuned…

Second, we needed the break.

We just wrapped up a difficult move from Orlando to New Orleans (new job, 7-months-pregnant wife and a three-year-old). We’re mostly unpacked and are finally beginning to settle in to our new house.

Coinciding with this move, we’re close to announcing some exciting changes for Baby Blog Addict in the coming months. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience.
