32 weeks and 600 cookies!

I'm a few days late on this week's post but it's been a super busy week here with the business. I never even took a bump pic.  We are mainly a soup/salad/sandwich cafe and we serve a variety of beverages and home made desserts.  I rarely get large (I mean super large) orders for baked goods.  We are located right next door to a theater that does musicals/plays/movies...etc... and this weekend and next they are doing Shrek the musical.  With that said they decided to collaborate with us and asked us if we would make Gingy cookies (a gingerbread man character from Shrek) for them to sell during all performances.  Their first order was 600 decorated gingerbread men for this weekend!  This is A LOT of cookies for a small mom and pop place like us, but I happily took on the challenge.  So needless to say I've been a baking machine all week with little time to do anything else.  Yesterday we delivered all of the cookies and crossed our fingers that people would like them.  I was pretty impressed and super proud of the outcome, they are really cute!  Hopefully they sell out and they order more for next weekend :)

I had a routine doctor's visit yesterday, everything was fine.  Baby is measuring right at 32 weeks as she should be.  Nothing new really in baby world this week.  My hormones are flying high, as I just flipped out on my husband for being gone all morning, coming home, and turning around to leave and go help our neighbor build a bar in his basement.  All while knowing that I have a bunch of running around to do and I was really looking forward to doing it alone and not having to lug a kid around with me.  I guess even if I weren't pregnant I'd still get pretty annoyed (I have been known to have quite a temper) however the fact that I am pregnant takes things to another level.  I get so fired up so much quicker these days.  Anyway, so I grabbed all of my crap, put Jack in the car only for him to fall asleep 60 seconds later.  So I turned around and came back home, put him to bed and am now taking this time to blog about my frustrations  HA HA!! 

I started going through baby clothes that have been given to me.  I have a TON.....both my sister-n-law and my neighbor gave me a butt load of baby girl clothes that are in great shape, they've just been in bags and boxes and I really had no idea what was actually in there.  So I sorted through everything and started washing everything.  I have to say we're pretty set and it feels good not to have to really worry about that.  So super thankful to both of you girls!!

This Week's TOP 5:

1. The nursery is finally coming together and is no longer being used as a storage room 
2. Baking gingerbread men - I can honestly say I never want to eat another gingerbread cookie for a very long time, and I'm pretty sure I may have carpal tunnel in my thumbs from all of the decorating :)
3. The weather - we had 50 degrees one day then got dumped on with 12-18 inches of snow, then had almost 60 degree weather the next day!!!  My sinuses are all over the place which means a lot of headaches for this girl!
4. Scripts Cafe made the Buffalo News again!  It was overall a great article and I'm very thankful to get the exposure.  Also thankful for such a great staff who help us to keep doing what we do best!
   
5. We finally started to talk baby names!  I think we may have it narrowed down but we're not telling because I don't think we will know for sure until we see her for ourselves :)
