Bran Muffins

Today marks day 4 of my nausea lightening up ... hooray! I still have a slightly nauseous feeling throughout the day, and I can't do much physically or I do get nauseous ... but overall, I'm thrilled to be feeling human again! Yesterday I got it together enough to make a batch of Joy of Cooking Bran Muffins. Yum. Mom wanted the recipe a few days ago, so I read her the ingredient list. After that, I couldn't stop thinking about them for several days - so I finally decided to just make a batch myself. I think they will make a great pregnancy snack: bran and raisins (to help with constipation and keep things moving!), yogurt (for that much needed calcium), molasses (high in iron) and calorie dense (it's hard with nausea to get enough calories down each day!). 

Kyle and I watched the National Geographic Video "In the Womb" last night. It's a great hour and a half look at fetal development during the 9 months in the womb. They are able to use 3-D ultra sound images now to look inside the womb at the fetus, watching it's movements, facial expressions, etc. Quite amazing. Anyone interested in learning more about fetal development should definitely watch this video. Just beware there is a birth scene at the end which surprised Kyle (he isn't quite ready for that part, but I promised him he would be by July). =)
