Wow! This seems to be food blogger's having babies season. My kids got by on the bare minimum - we didn't have the money and found that the bare minimum was all that any tiny baby needed (really, it is all for the mom, isn't it?) A bed, a Moses basket (truly needed!), a changing table, the most simple one, and a pram then a stroller (again, not the fancy schmancy ones). Little onsies, comfortable zip-up jackets and slip-on tights or pants. That's it! It is exciting, too, and congrats! We just visited our neighbor in the maternity clinic yesterday where we met 2-day-old Anita! Wonderful! Jamies last blog post..NUTTY AND SWEET FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Ooops! Just read that you already have 3 kids. I think it is time to hire another husband to help out!

Good luck over the next few weeks. It will fly by. When we went from 2 to 3 kids, the dynamics changed. No longer could my husband and I each handle one kid. Now you will have to employ a "zone defense" when the kids are involved. The calzones are a great idea for your friend. so many people make a pasta dish and your idea is unique.

I wonder if I could substitute the turkey with tofu and still produce a delicious calazone??? Or maybe a veggie calazone…is there such a thing?

7 WEEKS!!! Wowsers! It is right around the corner! Hang in there! Pamper yourself everyday until the new baby arrives!

Looks yummy! It’s been a long time since I picked up a Cooking Light magazine. I’ll have to revisit this old friend. Congratulations on your upcoming baby.
For the first few weeks after the birth of my baby, I couldn’t have survived without a boppy pillow. It eased pain from c-section and helped with nursing.

This recipe looks great, and meets my “family friendly but not bland and icky” requirements. I laughed out loud about the wipe warmer – we pitched ours after I refused to use it because I was afraid of burning my son’s delicate tush.

The calzones look so good! I haven't made any in years. You don't have much time left to wait for the baby. Somehow, everything will fall into place! Lyndas last blog post..Revisiting Chicken and Corn Soup with Rivels

If I had to strip it down to the bare-bones must-haves for a new baby… hands down would be the vibrating bouncy seat. That saved us so many times with both kids. With a bouncy seat, car seat, and a stroller, I think you would really have everything you need, and everything else would just be extra bonuses. Well, except the obvious, like diapers and whatnot.

Good luck getting everything done you want to over the next few weeks!

7 weeks left?! Holy cow! That means that it's been forever since we've had coffee. We've got to remedy that before you're too tired to get out. Shalees last blog post..Since I’m Being Judged Anyway…

My DIL & her twin have had 4 kids in the past three years. They both swear by the Ultimate Crib Sheet from Babies-R-Us.

For freezer cooking, I went through a self-initiation last Fall. I checked out of the library the books recommended by others and decided what I couldn’t live without. These are my faves and all have lots of excellent choices and ways to change things up, without feeling I have to cook for an entire month to get what I want. The great thing about freezer cooking is that it will take you through the kids growing up and beyond. I live alone and just have to rethink some of the recipes. Pretty soon you’ll just be making an extra dish of whatever’s for dinner and throwing it in the freezer.

Make a Mix-(Eliason, et al.) -great ways for making and storing various mixes and different recipes to use them; (love their Pinto Bean Mix for refried beans!)

Dinner’s in the Freezer-(Martinez, et al.) -toss-up for first place; I love that she provided multiple yields depending on how many you’re cooking for

You’ve Got It Made- (Philips)
Super Suppers-(Byrd)

Another thing you might try, which is what got me started on home freezer cooking, is an experience at Super Suppers or SupperThyme or any of the ’feed-the-freezer’ franchises. Or look online at their monthly menu options and find similar recipes online. You’ll realize it’s easier and cheaper to do at home. Search freezer cooking–ultimately it depends on what your family likes.

You must be so excited, and good for you to get some meals in the freezer for post-baby time! These sound delicious. Sharis last blog post..Whisk Wednesdays—Pintade à la Cévenole (Guinea Hen with Mushrooms and Chestnuts)

I made cheese steak stromboli the other night for dinner the family loved it, I'll have to try the calzone recipe too! I'm wayyyyy past the baby stage honey, I'm a gramma now and lovin every minute of it. I remember making my own formula for my daughter (she's 31 now) cause she was allergic to the one the doctor said to use. I got the recipe from my mom, it was Karo , canned milk and water she was able to keep that down. No wipies back then, we used warm wash clothes at diaper time.
