Where's the Baby??

Song of the Day: Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears (Have I used this one recently? It's been stuck in my head, so I forget...)

Oh, Baby B.

Well, Saturday, I'll officially be 40 weeks, and who knows when he'll decide to make his grand entrance into the world! Again, I was 10 days early and Fitz was 10 days late, so there's a chance he'll show up on his official due date, right on time, showing up exactly when he's supposed to. Which would be typical for him, the product of two first-born, neurotic, Type-A individuals. Augh, I feel sorry for him already...and I really feel sorry for any other subsequent children we might have.

The fall weather here in Charlotte is just perfect, and the trees are at their peak color.

I love fall. So wonderful. Scarves, decaf lattes, jean jackets, crunchy leaves on the ground to step on...

Now that it's a bit cooler, we feel more justified in making soups for dinner. Here's the recipe for the one we made last night...it's a favorite. And don't be scared by the cinnamon; it's the best part!
Anne Burrell's Chicken Noodle Soup!

I love her explanation for how she ended up putting lemon and cinnamon and nutmeg in this soup (you have to watch the video for the full story), but yes, this soup does leave you feeling warm and cozy, especially if you're about to leave the bar at 2AM. Which we're not. But sometimes leaving the couch at 10:30PM to haul up a flight of stairs is just as daunting. At least for me it is.
