Gaining 1 pound?!

38 weeks!! Paxton Joshua will be here in 8 days!

First let me start off by saying that I have obviously gained more than one pound...do not let my title of the blog confuse you!! Let's be honest here I have gained one pound plus about 39 more. I wish I could be that girl that claims to only gain 25 pounds during my whole pregnancy and to be eating whatever I want. Well folks that's definitely not my situation. I honestly don't remember how much I gained with Harper but I am pretty sure it about the same amount. I am also quite certain that my boobs alone have gained 25 pounds! However, I was able to get the weight off last time and I shall do so again =). Anyway..... I was chatting with my mom on the phone today as I was shopping through Target for Oreo's and bags of chocolate chips (hmmm maybe that's where the weight has come from?) for some baking I did this afternoon for a cookie exchange tonight. My mom informed me that Joy, from Joy's Fit Club, on the Today Show said that on average most people only gain one pound during the holiday season from Thanksgiving to Christmas! I was actually a bit surprised by this but if it was said on the Today Show then it has to be true, I mean it is where I get all my information these days.... well there and on Pinterest!! Josh makes fun of me quite often because so many of my stories begin with "Guess what Ann Curry said today?!" or "I saw this on Pinterest and we should totally do/make it!" Maybe I am lame but hey it makes me happy!! So speaking of Pinterest I found this delicious recipe that I can only justify making because I will be giving away 95% of them at a cookie exchange and I only have 8 more days of indulging myself before I am no longer pregnant and start my journey to looking like a normal, in shape, human being again. But prepare yourself because they are oh so bad for you. It is basically 3 cookies in one! It is called the Inception Cookie and it is 2 chocolate chip cookies covering an OREO! I know, ridiculous right? Ridiculously AWESOME!!

Look how scrumptious these bad boys look! They are giant cookies too so really it is difficult to eat more than one.
Like I said these treats are so yummy but they did take quite a while to make so I probably won't make them very often, which will be a good thing!!! So of course I have to leave you with a super cute picture of Harper. She has been extra sweet and fun lately and will come up and just give me a random kiss....melts my heart! She also came up to me the other day and kissed my belly and said Mah-Men (aka Paxton). I am thinking/hoping she is ready to meet her little brother!
