I swear I cannot stop eating. I feel like food is my life now!!

Yeah, I'm in that stage too! I made the most perfect pregnancy treat, and I'm slowly eating the whole pan Not good. And yet, I'm exposing all you ladies to the evil temptation. Recipe below:

Fluffer Nutter Bars

Base

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Marshmallow topping

2 cups marshmallow fluff
1 cup unsalted peanuts
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in peanut butter until combined. Add in the egg and mix until well blended.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and beat just until combined. Scoop mixture into a 9x13" baking dish and form a crust by pressing it on the bottom and slightly up the sides.

Spread fluff over the base crust. Scatter peanuts over the marshmallow fluff and then add chocolate chips on top.

Bake 15-20 minutes or until top is lightly browned.

Oh that recipe looks SOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!!!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!


I have my GTT today for the 2nd time. I was diagnosed with GD at 10 weeks and this test will see if it's time for medication/insulin. As of now I'm just controlling it with diet. I also get my Rhogam shot today and have a regular pre natal apt. Also going to be discussing the swelling with my doctor.

Good luck today at your appointment! Hope your glucose test goes well!!! Make sure you give us all the details!!!

For the Rhogam shot, if they give it to you in the butt, keep that leg straight, but do not tense your muscle. It will help!

That reminds me... remember when I got my shot they gave it to me in the arm. Well in the hospital I needed the second shot at DS blood type was positive and I'm negative. The nurse gave it to me in the butt. MAKE UP YOUR MIND PEOPLE!

hi ladies.
just wanted to pop in and say hello!
i went to OPRAH on Friday and it was soooooooooo fun!!! it was live w/ chris rock and ben stiller, I still cannot believe I got to go! My SIL invited me as one of her three! Anyway, I parked my car about and hour away from home and rode down w/ my MIL ... and took the Amrak home on Friday afternoon after the show. IT WAS SO FUN! I just knew the way I was feeling I could not drive ... and I wanted to go so badly! It was just awesome, I highly recommend it was the pregnant was to travel ... got to use the bathroom on the hour and nobody complained! The lounge car was so fun and I met some really neat people including a survivor from the Minneapolis bridge collapse last summer.
So, when I got home ... my husband was painting our front living room red (which I wanted done AFTER the basement was finished, but he is trying to surprise me so I wll not complain) AND he had gone to the store and bought me a new chair that he knew I wanted for the family room ... (again, AFTER he finishes the basement and all THAT furniture moves down....) It was a fun day and like Christmas...Oprah, new paint, new furniture, and then we had a sitter who was there when I got home from the train and we went to party.
I am exhausted today....but he wanted family portraits and set it up...mmmmmmmmmmm...so we meet the photographer on a trail called Seven Bridges...uh huh ...they had my six-month prego body on a HIKING trail to do family portraits w/ the fall leaves. It was so darn funny, especially in the totally inappropriate shoes I had on.
The house is wreck ... walls half painted, furniture all over, his friends coming in and out putting up walls and trying to figure out electic and plumbing for our basement...and oh yeah, we have not started the nursery AND we decided to put a soaking tub in our master so we have to knock the wall out of my closet to extend the bathroom and lay tile and
OMIGOSH ... WE ARE TAKING THIS NESTING THING TOOOOOOOO FAR!!!!
don't ever have a decorator look in ANY room other than the one you are paying her for ....THIS is what happens!!!
by the way...the bleeding I was having has stopped...they think it is the placenta ... they have measured it as less than 1 cm from my cervix but are hopefuly it will pull up as the baby grows and I get bigger. ME TOO b/c I never considered a c-section as I didnt need one w/ the other girls!!
so, I'll stop rambling now.
have a great rest of the weekend!!!

Wow -- what a fun trip to see Oprah! Just nice to get out and do something you don't/can't normally do.

I hope the pics turned out great!

Good luck on the remodeling...we're kind of doing the same thing...converting our LR into a playroom, redoing the DR, moving DH out of spare BR to create a nursery ... and we have no curtains/blinds anymore on the first level...we took them all down/got rid of them so they didn't get in the way of the paint and then decided to get new ones...

But, then my DH lost his job, so now all remodeling is at a stand-still. So in essense I have 6 rooms that are incomplete....Ack!! Not to say anything about the fact that I'm a pregnant SAHM with no income...DH does have 3 interviews this week, so hopefully something good will come of them.

Next time, we're doing one room at a time ... no matter what!

 

[bkreitzel]

Marshay-we will keep your husband in our prayers this week! Good sign to have all those interviews, something will definately pop for him
This re-doing everything is crazy - and contagious. My neighbors came over and saw what we were up to ... pretty soon I was doing a consult on THEIR house and off to Home Depot to pick out paint to redo their ENTIRE first floor to and then off to pick out artwork for their kitchen....so much fun to spend someone else's money!!!

Thanks for the prayers!

Too funny, that you are now doing your neighbors house too!! You sound like you enjoy the redecorating so hopefully it is fun for you...but make sure you get your house done too -- esp that nursery!!!

Hey everyone... Today I started to look for halloween outfits for my two boys and I thought I would ask what everyone is dressing up thier kids as... ?? is it too early to ask????

 

[ADAMANDLISA]

My oldest is going to be a Triceratops and the little one is going to be our favorite mouse, Mickey! We love Halloween! DH and I actually met at a Halloween party!

 

[Jrabbit910]

awww. how cute... I was thinking of a dino for my oldest son but I wanted them to be a duo of some sort. My Dh thought of batman & Superman... I wanted tigger and pooh but the tigger outfit they have in the disney store isnt as nice as what they were last year... I dont like the idea of tiggers head on top of my sons head... what were the two of you dressed up as when you met each other? ( I love hearing stories like this)

Love the idea... Once I get thier outfits I am going to post a pic... Hopefully everyone will do the same...

 

[ADAMANDLISA]

The Mickey Mouse costume is a hand-me down from DS#1, who looked so cute in it. I will probably put DS#3 in it too!


I promised DH, that next year, we would all do Star Wars costumes. He is already excited!

It's really funny how DH and I met. I was dating this guy a couple of years prior, who introduced me to the people having the party. They always had a 4th of July Party and a big Halloween party. I had became really good friends with them, even though the guy and I had long since broken up.

I had always gone to the 4th of July parties. DH, whose family was also good friends with the same people, had always gone to the Halloween parties.

This particular year, I had decided to do the Halloween party (I wore a strange 60's outfit with a huge curly red wig). As soon as I got there, my friend asked if I wanted to meet a nice guy...I said of course! We were introduced (he was NOT wearing a costume) and I suppose it was love at first sight or at least love the first night. We talked and danced all night by the bonfire. I remember going home and calling my mom to tell her that I had met the guy I was going to marry. She, of course, laughed at me.

He was in the Navy at the time, stationed at Camp David in Maryland. So, a couple of days later, we met halfway for our "1st date". Please don't ask where we spent most of that date at...

Anyway, we were living together by New Years and got married in Oct.


Now here we are, almost 6 years since that Halloween party, expecting our 3rd child together! We drive each other crazy, but we are still in love!

 

[PatricenPete]

Add me to the BLUE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!

Had our ultrasound this morning and baby was not modest at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bkreitzel]

DD1 has decided to be a monkey webkin so I ordered a monkey costume off of ebay and will attach the W.
DD2 wants to be a cat - we have a long sleeve/long legged black leotard that we loan out every year for someone ELSE to be a cat so this year she is wearing it and we are borrowing ears/tail.
DH and I go to an annual Halloween party...the theme this year is deserted island ... there are 3 other couples we hang out w/ all the time so our group is going as Gilligans Island. DH and I are the Howells. Shouldn't be too hard to pull off I might wear a pumpkin outfit when I take them trick or treating- I would not need the stuffing this year!!!

 

[staley7580]

My oldest is going to be the Rhino Power ranger.. and my little one is going to be Jasmine.

 

[DVCsince02]

HSM cheerleader and pirate for my two. The baby is staying at home.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning! I hope all is well. I have not checked in for a while.

DS 10 wants to be the WWE wrestler, The Undertaker, for Halloween. I loved the days when he would wear home made costumes. The best was the fire breathing dragon. Here is the link to what it looks like:
