He is just learning how much fun it is to eat and eat and eat and eat and EAT all the time. Today he gave a whole 3 hours between feedings at one point. But perhaps she is the one who should tell you all about that.

You see, earlier this week, everyone was asking me “How’s the doing? You getting any ?” and I felt obliged to make some comment about how his feeding meshed with my need for . But Johanna doesn’t like me saying anything, because the truth of the matter is that so far, he hasn’t caused me to lose much.

Glen is really pretty mellow, and Johanna doesn’t want a lear his mouth for fear he will stop altogether. So my consists of nudging her when I hear him (she is wearing because of my snoring), and getting a diaper from the closet for her. I lose a total of 5 minutes of sleep whenever he wakes up, which isn’t anything at all.

Some of you out there will undoubtedly cry “foul” when you read this, saying I should do more to help out. And I would LOVE to do more. But nursing is out of the question. Occasionally Johanna does let me change the diaper, but this is just the way things have worked out so far.

So no more asking if I am losing sleep. The answer is “Yes, some, but not enough to fuss over.” I am sure that the simple act of writing that statement will call down the wrath of Murphy’s Law, and the road will get rocky from here. But I won’t make a peep…Johanna won’t have me complaining at all…if anyone gets to, it’s her.

I have been thinking about trying some to freeze so I can pull out and bake.  Here is my first recipe entry. (please note all have been taste tested and will be really good) This is a recipe I do at my Pampered Chef cooking shows.

Caesar Chicken

2 lbs. frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 (16 oz.) bottles Creamy Caesar Salad dressing
2-3 cloves freshly pressed garlic
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: lettuce, box of croutons OR cooked pasta

Place frozen chicken into bag; add garlic, cheese, and dressing. Coat chicken well. Squeeze air out of bag and freeze. Chicken will marinate as it defrosts in refrigerator for 24 hours. Remove chicken from bag and place in Stoneware Rectangular Baker. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 45 minutes (30 minutes for tenderloins). SALAD: Slice chicken and serve warm over lettuce, tossed with dressing, Parmesan cheese and croutons. Or serve chicken over cooked pasta or rice!

enjoy! you can keep in freezer for up to three months!
