Ultrasound

Just found out I get to have my ultrasound tomorrow morning instead of next Wednesday! I'm so excited! I can't wait to find out what we're having! I will keep you posted...

The best fudge ever! The Recipe.

I must start by saying I don't particularly care for most homemade fudge I've tried, but this is the recipe I grew up with so I'm partial to it. So, since it's not a secret... Here's the recipe. It's worth the time and effort! You definitely should freeze part or give some away as it makes a lot. Do enjoy! P.S. don't scrimp on the mixing. It's what makes it so smooth and creamy good!

The best fudge ever! (Mom’s recipe)

1 cube butter

4 cups sugar

1 can evaporated milk

Mix together butter sugar and evaporated milk in large pot on stove, and bring to a boil stirring frequently. Boil for ten minutes.

Remove from heat and add the following:

16 oz. of Hershey’s milk chocolate bars

12 oz. package milk chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli)

Stir in chocolate until melted.

Transfer to kitchen aid or mix with hand mixer about medium speed for 5 minutes.

Add 1 jar of marshmallow cream. (7 oz.)

Mix for another 5 minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla and mix that in.

You can add chopped walnuts, or chopped pecans if desired.

Pour into a buttered glass 9x13 baking dish. Cover pan and put it in the refrigerator to set up.  Serve! You can cut the fudge into thirds and wrap in plastic wrap then foil and freeze for up to six months. Mom likes to cut it into squares and wrap them in plastic wrap to use for goodie plates and parties. YUM!!!

The best fudge ever!

I kind of missed out on some things I would normally enjoy at Christmas time for 2011 due to being horribly sick with this baby. My moms homemade chocolate fudge stood out near the top of the list so I decided to make my own. In January. It still tastes as good regardless I promise. You didn't see me licking the spatula! This is SO good I'm dying!

Awesome!

Disorientation

I went into Mckayla's room this morning to check on her and she was partially uncovered so I pulled her covers up. She turned to face me still mostly asleep and said confused, "Momma is here?...Whitney is here?(her stuffed chiwawa)....Oooooh, I have four covers!" Then she snuggles down and goes back to sleep. A few minutes later she starts talking to herself and comes out of her room to find me. When she sees me she quotes Rapunzel in a sour mood, "who are you and how did you find me?!" She proceeds to sit on my lap and spoon feed me my morning mint tea. I love her. She makes me smile.

Baby Bump

Baby bump! I'm finally starting to look pregnant! Mckayla is excited and very sweet about the baby in momma's tummy!
