This pregnancy is wrapping up fast. The, I only have a week left, kind of fast. I am just wondering when he will decide to make his big debut! I have been the biggest procrastinator getting things ready for this baby boy of mine. I finally got around to washing his clothes LAST night. As the time is drawing near to delivery, it makes me a both excited and sad all at the same time. Sad you ask? Yes, because I am one of those women that seriously LOVES being pregnant. I love feeling the baby move inside me, I love watching my tummy grow and I love the anticipation of the arrival of the new little one.
One thing I have specifically been craving this last stretch of pregnancy is lemon. Not full blown-in-your-face lemon, but desserts with a subtle hint of it. Even thinking about this recipe makes me want to hop up and go make a batch of it right this instant. Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake. It is AMAZING! It melts in your mouth and is full of refreshing delicious flavor. My family could not stop raving about it.
A delicious and moist pound cake that is bursting with refreshing and amazing flavor!
