7 Months pregnant!

Yesterday I hit 28 weeks and I am shocked how fast this pregnancy is going! I went to the doctor today and things look really good. Baby is head down-ish and I passed my iron and glucose tests with flying colors. However, i've gained 16 pounds so far and I'm sort of annoyed with that. Not to mention I had gained a few pounds before actually going to the doctor so it's probably more like 20. Guess I need to slow down on the ice cream! I have an appt. next month and then I start going every 2 weeks. I have so much to do before the baby is born! I guess it's a good thing I still have 12 weeks to do it. Anyone know how long a freezer meal will last in the deep freeze? I'm really hesitant to start them for fear that they will be bad by January. I think I'll wait until December to get going on those. There is a lot of decluttering and organizing I would like to do, birth announcements to address and the basement to clean out.

Well, my baby upstairs is crying so i'd better go check on her.

Hey E!
Wow 7 months, boy does the time fly when you having fun. :-) I think you will be able to start making food and freezing it now. Typically you can keep food in the freezer for up to 6 months if it is sealed well. I know we have done this many a time and I did this also before baby girl was born last year.
Glad you hear you are all well and take care.

Elizabeth,
I have a tilia food saver and I love it. You can boil the bags to thaw out soup, spaghetti sauce, etc. and the food last a long time with no freezer burn. I vacuuum seal my lettuce and vegs in the frig bowls and they really stay fresh longer.
Just a thought!!
Take care & God bless!!
