favorite food friday

Apparently I didn't like any food in September and now for half of October - but, I'm back!

This week's feature:

FLETCHER'S CORNY DOG (via the State Fair of Texas)

I know we all have our traditions, and the State Fair is one of David's and mine. First of all, we have the hook-up to the Fair. My father-in-law is on the board and supplies us with a first class "VIP" pass that allows us free entry and parking inside the fair grounds. Like I said, the hook-up. So, once we park, we mosey (I can say "mosey", it's the Texas state fair...) through the Dodge, GMC and Ford pick-ups to arrive at Fletcher's, the ultimate corny dog stand! I have my 7 tickets ready (no need to stop at the ticket stand because David's already been to the Fair and loaded up on tickets) and I receive my annual treat. David laughs and takes pictures as I load my corny dog up with French's mustard (David can laugh and take photos because he doesn't usually partake in the corny dog mow-down, I know, he's crazy!). My corny dog is usually done and gone in 1-3 minutes depending on the internal temperature... this year I'm pretty sure it was closer to 1 minute, 30 seconds. It was good.

Our other Fair favorites (not pictured) are the ice cold Root Beer, Chocolate Covered Deep Fried Strawberries, Texas Tater Twisters and the Cinnamon Rolls (inside the food building!). I'm sure there are other things to do at the Fair - like look at animals, go on rides, watch cooking demonstrations - but, we go to eat.

hump day = bump day (week 36)

Oh my goodness, I have so many good excuses to why I've been missing for weeks now. 1) we sold our house 2) we moved to an apartment 3) I'm 36 weeks pregnant - things just don't happen as fast when all these things are going on.

So, now for the updates. Everything is still going well. I had a doctor's appointment this week and she said I am progressing well and am right on track. She tried to tell me that it could happen any day now, but I told her I wasn't trying to hear that. As far as I'm concerned, I still have 4 weeks to go - maybe longer. There is so much left to get done!!

Speaking of that, my sister is going to come over this weekend and help me get the nursery together. Since we are now in a temporary permanent place, we got the crib and other furniture delivered. I put some "before" pictures down below. I'll update once we get it all done!

My cousin, Megin, had her baby yesterday. Everyone is very excited about the newest member of the family. We'll have all these little boys running around before long!

WEEK 36

BEFORE:

hump day = bump day (week 34)

Better late than never!
Week 34 - can you believe how fast it has gone by? Not me!
We had a sonogram this week. It was really awesome to see how much the baby has grown and changed. They confirmed again that it was definitely still a boy, good to know! She also took all the normal measurements, he is measuring just a little ahead of schedule, about a week big. Which, the sonogram tech said is completely normal. She said the baby has to be 3 weeks off before they would consider him big or small. She estimated his weight to be 5lbs 8ozs currently. So, he is likely to be a good size boy!

Everything else is still going great. I think I've definitely "filled out" in the last couple weeks. He's still moving around quite a bit, which is always a comforting and reassuring feeling. Here's the picture for this week, still hanging in there with the grey tank top!
