18 quarts and 12 ounces

The first is the amount of spagetti sauce that we canned yesterday (not to mention the 12 we had done at the beginning of the month.) We have been blessed with tomatoes from our garden as well as from Father Jeremy's garden and were also able to make salsa & soup. We have a tabletop full of green and orange tomatoes that will hopefully ripen so we can do it one more time.

The second amount is how much aloe vera spray gel that Ian sprayed in our bedroom. He happened to discover the bottle when we moved a couch upstairs and he was able to stand on it and found it sitting on the bookshelf. Yes, not the proper place for it, but I think I used it to soothe someone's sunburn this summer & just left it on the shelf in case I needed it again. My bad! So needless to say I spent a good 10 minutes cleaning up green slime all around our bedroom. It covered the walls, the door, the bed, and some clothes set aside for Goodwill. Let's just say that we also had to change his clothes. At least the stuff smelled good!

Here's a quick picture of the kids and me with my belly before I "pop". Not a word I really enjoy to use for my condition considering that all of the other things I can think of that we "pop" that are round and full are things like zits and woodticks. (Thank you to the person who commented about me in that manner.) So, I am 36 weeks today and with 1 week to go until baby is considered full-term, I find myself really anticipating a new baby, but not looking forward to the hard and painful part. Please pray for us and that all goes well!
