Best Husband Ever...(28 1/7 weeks)

Okay, where do I start? Well, the best husband ever, was in Chicago last night and today helping Dusty work on 'remodeling' Julie's bathroom in her newly bought condo. I decided to stay home, as I wouldn't be much help in the construction area, and I had worked 16 hours Friday into
Saturday as our unit isn't slowing down any and it was my turn to stay crisis. So, when I got home from work at noon on Saturday sitting in the car for a couple hours wasn't the first thing on my list. But anyway, back to my husband, he took the time to go out of his way when he was in Chicago to buy his pregnant wife some Garrett's Popcorn. I am hoping I don't have to elaborate on Garrett's Popcorn, but it is the best popcorn ever, even it it is a bit pricey, it is soooo.... worth it. He got me the cheese and carmel mixed, to die for!! So that is why he is the best husband ever!!
So after my very few hours of sleep yesterday, Gizmo and I went for a walk since it was a lovely day that we missed most of due to sleeping. Then, after much discussion with my dear friend Cora, and the latest buzz on BPA (Bisphenol A, a hormone-disrupting chemical that is the building block of polycarbonate plastic, has been found to leach out of six major brands of popular baby bottles sold in the United States and Canada) I decided to change the bottles and nipples in which I registered for in order to keep our unborn child safe. Even though I am sure I have eaten things reheated in plastic with BPA, but that isn't the point. Therefore, I ditched the Avent bottles (even though they were the best of the ones tested) and splurged on the BornFree bottles. I stuck with the plastic ones versus glass, but they are BPA free. Here is a link to the article Cora introduced me to for those of you who haven't heard the hype. http://www.chej.org/bpa-e-s.htm
I almost forgot the other thing we did this weekend, we made homemade popsicles. We had wanted to make them awhile ago when we got the Jessica Seinfeld cookbook as there is a recipe for yogurt pops, but we didn't have the popsicle molds and had a hard time finding them at the store. But Sue found us a set on Ebay, apparently she had been wanting some too, so we finally made our popsicles, not the Jessica Seinfeld ones yet though. We started with the standard popsicles with sugar, kool-aid and jello, sugar free at least so they aren't too bad for you. Stay posted to hear how they turned out, we are still in the freezing process. I guess that is all for now.

Megan...that wasn't crisis staffing, it was "flex" staffing. It felt really flexible to work 16 hours, didn't it? What a bunch of crap!

Anyhoo...so glad that you've gone BPA free for Herm. There's some scary info out there when you really start to look. We've loving our glass bottles around these parts! See you soon, Cora
