I'm still here

No, I have not disappeared, I promise. Let me tell you what's been going on. W-A-Y too much, that's for sure. During the last week in January, my water broke. I was 23 weeks pregnant. I didn't realize it was my water though, and kind of brushed it aside for a week. At 24weeks, I finally met with my midwife, who did an ultrasound and turned me over to the OB's in the office, telling me that I was being admitted to the hospital because my baby had no fluid left.

yes, that was almost 2 months ago. Long story short, I spent 5 weeks in the hospital on bedrest, until our little guy decided it was time to come. He was born at 29 weeks on March 12, and is currently in the NICU while we wait for him to grow more. He was just under 3lbs when he was born. He'll probably be there until the end of May, which was his original due date.

I don't normally show pictures of myself or my kids, but here's a picture of us at the hospital, myself, Captain Jax, and baby M.

so I won't be around very much for a while longer. Here and there, as I do have some recipes mostly ready to post (kind of--the pictures are at our house, and I'm not there, but Captain jax is supposed to copy them to the hard drive and bring them to me).

Anyway, it's been a long 2 months for me. I've missed cooking and blogging. I've been eating hospital food!! I'm staying at my parents, who are closer to the hospital, so I still won't be cooking very much, but I WILL be back.

at some point. . . .until then, eat sometime tasty for me will you? :)
