I am hoping to get a video made today but it appears we have another virus going through our house, so we will see what happens..bleh. I am so sick of bodily fluid!

I'm Still Alive

Okay so I have been MIA.. I know.. its been a busy week this week so I haven't had much time nor ambition to do my weekly video entry. My sister, Tara, had a beautiful baby boy on Monday night at 11:30pm and I was up at the hospital to be on support team and see him as soon as he was born. His name is Judah William and he weighed in at a whopping 8lbs 4oz, which is over 1lb more than any of the other kids have weighed thus far, but he is a fantastic eater and he is doing amazing!

I had a doctors appt. on Tuesday and all is well. I have moved up to going every 2 weeks now. I only gained 2 lbs this month so that was a welcome relief considering the 9lbs I gained last month. My diabetes test came back good, and everything else is looking good as well.

Joel left this morning for his 4 day trip with my mom. They left bright and early at 5 this morning, but he was pretty excited to go, and I must say it is kind of nice just having one little rugrat running around, especially considering I am quite sick with a nasty nasty cold, so it just makes my life that much easier.

Well I guess thats about it. I will try to do my weekly video's again starting next week.. unless something unexpected comes up.

Brownies... Mmmmm

With this pregnancy I have been craving sweets like crazy since my morning sickness subsided back at about 12 weeks. So today I really wanted brownies, so I went online and found a kick butt recipe that I wanted to share. They are wonderful!

INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup, 170 g ,butter, melted
1 1/2 cups, 300 g , white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons, 8 ml vanilla extract
2 eggs
3/4 cup, 100g , all-purpose flour
1/2 cup, 60 g , unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon, 3 g , salt
1/2 cup, 60 g , chocolate chips
1/2 cup, 60 g , pecans ( i did not add these)


DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Grease an 8 inch square pan or 9 x 13 pan.
In a large bowl, blend melted butter, sugar and vanilla.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
Combine the flour, cocoa and salt. Add the chocolate chips and the pecans.Gradually blend into the egg mixture.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Let brownies cool, then cut into squares.
They have the perfect chewy edges and super soft center. Very chocolatey rich and stay moist for days!
