As I’m writing this from my hospital room, our new family addition is tucked in his warm little blankets resting peacefully, at least for this moment! My due date wasn’t until the second week of January, and this was a pleasant surprise.

The downside is that we weren’t prepared yet!

We had a baby boy and we are yet to decide on a spelling for the name we chose. The two of us are doing well. The whole family is learning how to adjust, and our 2-year old is handling the new baby well so far.

I will try to post as often as I can. I have a couple of posts with recipes that I made over the weekend ready–as if I unconsciously knew he was coming–and a couple of guest posts planned as well.

Come back and check Practical Nutrition and hopefully I’ll have something new every time you stop by!

And don’t forget to leave a comment on my previous blog post about the 7-Day Menu Planner book review before January 1 so you are eligible to win it.

Take care for now!

    Congrats on the new arrival! Aren’t new babies the best (of course toddlers can be wonderful as well!)
