    I still cook but husband does dishes. I have to watch my belly though I've burned it several times on the skillet or baking pan or oven door...those seem to be my only challenges.

    I'm 4 days overdue. And I fear needing to go grocery shopping again, I stocked up for meals postpartum and I refuse to dip into them. All the snacks are almost run out as it is :((
    I've been lucky enough that last week we had 5 family birthday dinners and I took leftovers from each one to hold us over. Simple reheats. Ive also had MIL and mom come visit me & ask them to bring lunch. Tonight I cooked a sausage jalapeño pizza, poor DH hated the spicy, but I'm hoping it helps labor ;)

    I'm short so I can't use my back burners. My belly hits the stove handle. I was using my daughters stool to cook and I broke with with all these extra pounds lol. I am Hispanic so I grew up cooking meals not just sandwiches :/ I feel guilty when I serve sandwhiches. Thankfully though my kids love pasta so I can make them spaghetti.

    I'm making risotto tonight and I cant wait! We have been staying with my in-laws while our home is being renovated. (Hopefully we can settle in this weekend!) And my MIL and I have been taking turns cooking dinner. She insists that she will do it, but I want to contribute and its been fun and relaxing...yet I always have found cooking to be a form a therapy for me!! :-D

    This x one hundred million!!!! Once I burned my stomach I walked away from the stove and said if you want to eat fix it yourself! From now until baby is at least 4 weeks I have no intention of cooking anything for anyone. We have more than enough restaurants and delivery services for everything under the sun so no one will starve lol

    My parents are so awesome...they'll just casually invite us to dinner, then "oops" make too much and send us home with tons of leftovers. DH eats them for a few nights, my heartburn is so bad in the evening I usually (always lately) just have a milkshake for dinner. 

    If we don't have leftovers, DH will just make himself some grilled cheese and tomato soup, or a hot pocket or something and NEVER complain! Love him!! 

     I stocked up on PP freezer meals, so it won't be so rough once the little one comes :)

    I am going to a freezer meal workshop on the 11th. That will stock up some meals, thankfully. However, I hate trying to figure out what to actually cook right now. Lol

    I am so spoiled. Hubby makes dinner pretty much every night and also packs me breakfast and lunch. (He does work from home so it is a little easier for him to get things done at home.)

    Haven't made any freezer meals yet but hoping to this weekend!!

    Crockpot saved me tonight! Made an easy chicken and stuffing meal. So delicious! 39weeks +2 days. So over everything.

    I'm still cooking, but I'm definitely making easy meals. Last night I made enchilada casserole- sautéed chicken in canned sauce and layered it with corn tortillas, cheese, and salsa. For tomorrow, I have refrigerated spinach ricotta tortellini, sauce from a jar, and Italian sausage. I looked up one dish meals with 5 ingredients or fewer... So far, so good!

    You are all doing great. Tonight we had nachos! You'd think we lived like frat boys.
