While we were at the beach, Tad was sweet enough to take some maternity photos for me!
I thought it was appropriate to wear blue in honor of our first baby boy!
*These photos were taken at 35 weeks pregnant.
We love this little guy to pieces already and we are excited to embrace our new blessing very soon!!

Sometimes I just want to make some bread to go with a meal, but I didn’t plan far enough in advance (oops) for something like my Rosemary Peasant Bread. At times like that, these drop biscuits are perfect! They take very little time to throw together, yet they have a great flavor and pair beautifully with a lot of different types of meals.
Whole Wheat Garlic Drop Biscuits
(adapted from here)
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, freshly ground
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup butter
2-3 cloves garlic
parsley
Grind wheat in the WonderMill.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Combine flour (start with 2 cups), baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add milk and olive oil. Add up to 1/2 cup flour until mixture is thick enough to drop on a cookie sheet without spreading out.
Grease a cookie sheet (don’t skip this!) or use a silpat mat. Drop biscuits on sheet in even mounds.
Bake biscuits for 12 minutes.
While biscuits are baking, melt butter in a saute pan and add garlic. Saute just until light golden brown. Remove from heat.
When biscuits are finished baking, immediately brush the tops with butter/garlic mixture and sprinkle with parsley. Remove from cookie sheet and enjoy!
Makes around 12 biscuits.
Enjoy!

I decided I should probably start doing pregnancy posts every week now, since I’m getting close to the end!
I had my 37 week appointment today. My blood pressure was a little higher than usual, but nothing to be too concerned about. Punkin’s heartbeat was 150 because I could feel him moving around before my midwife checked his heart rate with the Dopplar.
I had to take a Tylenol PM last night so I could sleep. I was dealing with such excruciating back pain that I just couldn’t fall asleep! I think that was my first time taking ANY medication my whole pregnancy, so I guess that’s pretty good!
I really should be doing more to get ready for the baby, but I’m so convinced that I’m going to go “past due,” that I am not very motivated yet! The last two midwives I’ve seen have both told me that I probably won’t have the baby until a week or so over, since that’s kind of my track record. (FYI, my mom’s third baby was a good bit overdue, so there’s that family history as well.) So I feel like I have plenty of time!
