I felt Baby kicking tonight! I’ve been trying to get a sense of what it feels like. But so far, I’ve only felt my pulse on my tummy or my stomach growling. But tonight after I was well-fed (made some homemade triple chocolate ice cream – WOW!) I felt a bubble of movement in my lower belly once every few minutes or so. It’s just amazing. There’s a little person inside me playing! I can’t wait to meet him/her. But first thing first, are you a boy or girl? I NEED to know!! Just 3 more days now…

In the homemaking forefront, I am starting to make good use of my KitchenAid stand mixer and attachments. Like last week I ground my own beef to make pita pockets. It was really good! I even fed my brother-in-law with it, and he ate everything on his plate. Albie had to take a work call, but said it was better than when I made it one other time. I’m definitely going to start grinding my own meat. Next time I make zuppa toscana, I’ll definitely make my own Italian sausage. Tonight I made my first batch of ice cream, which was easier than I thought. It required a lot of chocolate, which made it very rich and creamy. I ate a couple of spoonfuls and was satiated. Definitely need to pass that around to my parents and sisters.
