Congratulations to you and your family!

Congrats! And just enjoy your new baby!!

Congratulation! I hope he will at least allow us to see a photo of her!

Take care of yourself mama! I found that blogging wasn't too hard to do while nursing, but if I had to hold both boys, the computer was off limits.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! Glad that you are both doing well. I don't blame you for not wanting to share too much info. Hope you get some much needed rest!

Congrats to all. I've enjoyed the blog, and we've just upgraded our slow-cooker to a 6-quart model (seems huge!) from our little 1.5 quart one in anticipation of our first baby who's supposed to be arriving in the next few weeks. We've been putting the new cooker through it's paces while we prepare several vegetarian dishes that we can freeze in anticipation of not having a lot of energy for cooking or food shopping once are new arrival arrives.

Congratulations on your newest little dish!

Congratulations! I'm new to your blog and very much looking forward to future posts. You are smart not to release much personal info online. The world is a weird place.

Congrats and take your time, we will understand.

Be Blessed

Congratulations!!! I hope this year is full of more good things for you and your family!

Congrats!!!

Congratulations on the baby! I just picked up your new book at the library today and am reacquainting myself with your blog (had checked it out awhile ago but lost it in my favorites list during a hard drive crash). I am looking forward to learning more from you and doing more slowcooking myself!

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Stephanie!!! A huge community of virtual strangers, but lovers of you and your family nonetheless, are celebrating alongside you! :)

Mazel Tov!!!

Congrats to all of you! Loved your slow-cooking remark. Our latest was born 2 months ago, and I felt the same way. I had to have been in labor for weeks before he was born because I walked into the hospital 2 and a half hours before he was born and I was already 8 cm dilated! I was amazed.
Blessings to you and your baby! I hope you get some rest! :)

Congrats to you and your family!!!

Congratulations on your new baby! Best of blessings to you and your family!

Ahhh - congrats and sweet baby bliss to you and your family! :)

Blessings to you on the birth of your precious little girl! We celebrated my 3rd son's 15th birthday yesterday. Did you know it was the 12th day of Christmas? Also, known as Three Kings Day.

Congratulations to you and your family. Will look forward to recipes whenever you're feeling up to posting them. In the meantime, rest and recover and enjoy your new baby.

Congrats! and LOL to the taking "slow cooking" seriously!

Congrats to all, but most of all you, mom! Wowser, you had her yesterday and you're here today doing a post. You're something. Remember it's all about taking it slowww here ... no worries on hurrying back--we'll all wait, Steph! :-)

Congratulations on the new baby! I was referred to your blog by a friend because my daughter was just diagnosed with celiac disease. I may be a stranger, but you are my new best friend! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes that we can enjoy as a family, you have no idea how much this will help. I will be back again and again!

Congratulations!

I got the book for Christmas, and I am enjoying just flipping through it and finding recipes I haven't tried yet. The Peking Pork I cooked on Monday was a winner!

Congratulations! Enjoy your new little baby girl. Hold her and love her as much as you can. They grow up so fast! My baby is 30 now and it seems like just yesterday that she came home from the hospital. Mary Jayne in NJ

Congratulations!!! So happy for you! I was just thinking about you and the baby this morning while looking at your cookbook on my shelf. :)

Congrats on your brand new blessing!

Congratulations! Get some rest. No worries!

I had 25 hours of back labor with my first. I'm glad it wasn't any longer. What a great way to start off the new year!

How exciting!! Congratulations on your new baby girl!!

Congratulations!! Very excited for you!

Congratulations Stephanie!! I'll be making Cowboy Stew for watching football playoffs tomorrow and thinking of you. All the best to your family.

congrats!!!

Congratz on your baby girl.


On the side note, I loved your cookbook. I've been making different foods for my family and they all love them.

Congrats to you and your family :)

Big big congrats! Were due number 2 in a few
week.

congrats!

Congratulations on the new baby!! Take as long as you need....even with the third, it takes a while to adjust to one more little person in the house, and getting out of the house on time will take a lot of practice!!

Enjoy every minute with your little one, and stroke that baby every minute you can....you'll have a kinder, more empathetic child from touching them so much!!

Take care of YOU....make sure you have a chance for a hot soak in the tum every night, a nap when yhou need it, and time out alone, even to just go to a coffee shop and read a book for a while!!

I also learned a "trick" with the third baby...to switch the schedule! In stead of eat, sleep, play, eat, sleep, play, etc. I switched it to play, sleep, eat, putting the baby down into the crib fully awake, and let her put herself to sleep every night and every nap. She was sleeping through the night within three weeks, and we all felt much more rested with that baby! Good luck! I'm so proud of you and all that you do so well!

How exciting!! Congratulations on your new baby girl!! My birthday is also Jan 6., so it truly is a blessed day.

Congratulations!

First time visit to A Year of Slow Cooking. Yummy foods.

I wish to congratulate you on the new precious baby girl. May you both be well and over taken with happiness. Sandi

Congratulations on your new little arrival! I would play the new mama card and let others cook for YOU for awhile! Enjoy your new addition!

Congratulations! As others have said, recipes can wait! :)

Congrats! Hope you recover quickly and enjoy your new LO. :)

congrats! i just wanted to let you know i linked to your blog and your book on my blog post today because i wrote about menu planning and mine includes FIVE of your recipes this week. needless to say, i'm looking forward to cooking and eating this week! thank you!

Congrats! I'm so happy for you. I'm glad things went/are going well and look forward to new posts when you can.

Congratulations to you and your whole family!

Congratulations on your new arrival! Hope you are getting enough rest and plenty of help w/all the other household stuff! :)

Congrats! And by the way, I got your cookbook as a gift for Christmas and squealed with delight!

Congratulations, Stephanie, to you and your lovely family. Can't wait to see pics of that new little one. Really enjoy your recipes and have your book! love it! You do an awesome job. cannot imagine all you do with a family to take care of, too. Rest and enjoy this time this new addition is so little. As you know, she won't be little long! God's richest blessings to you and your family. Sandy

Congratulations from a mom of five kids in 7 years! It can be done even though you have run out of arms. I personally think women should be born with retractable arms, sorta like Doc Oc in Spiderman.
Best wishes, Toni

Congratulations!!!!! Just had a little one in October! Maybe that will inspire some "breastfeeding save" recipes for the slow cooker - without beans, onions, garlic,.... ;-) I am on a constant look out for good ones for the slow cooker!!!! TAKE care & blessings

Congratulations on your sweet new baby girl. So happy for you!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations on the new baby. Girls rock. I love your cookbook too. I wowed everyone at a "soup" party this weekend with a batch of pizza soup and a batch of Lentil soup.

Congrats! I'm glad you are all healthy and hopefully staying warm.

congrats!

congratulations on the new baby!

Congratulations! Just found this link as someone suggested it for good recipes and couldn't help notice this. I gave birth to my second son on 6th January! :D

Congratulations on your new arrival!

Read about your blog in our local paper this morning. I never knew about it before today. Great recipes. I have gone thru three crocks pots in my forty-seven years of married life. I never understood why more cooks didn't use their pots. The first thing my daughters got from me when they got married was a crook pot, if they didn't get one. Thanks, D.Thomas

Yay! I've been not so bloggy lately and didn't realize your little one was "out of the crock." (yeah, closest I could get to the "theme" - ha)

Congrats!

Congratulations! I just found your blog, but I love the ideas. Thank you for sharing! And good luck with your new born!

Congratulations Stephanie!!!!

I just happened across this post! Congrats! Is this your 3rd? We added a little man on 2/13 and I think I'm STILL adjusting to having 3.
