The Quest!



So I'm on a quest. To find the perfect cupcake! Have you ever notice how beautiful bakery cupcakes are, and then you take the first bight and.... disappointment! Usually they are dry, bland, stale or all of the above. So My quest is to find perfect recipes for white and chocolate cakes and then frosting. My first attempt was with a white cake recipe and a chocolate butter cream frosting. I think the first attempt was pure success! Well at least that is what I'm told. I'm still sugar free so I have to rely on everyone else's opinions. But all the reviews seem positive! I think we have a winner for a white cake recipe. Now to find a chocolate cake recipe to match!

A not so fun support group meeting

Tonight was our monthly support group meeting.   I was actually looking forward to it, and hoping that it would be a good meeting.  I have found some really wonderful friends there.  There were a lot of new people there tonight and I've never seen it so full.   Which of course is not a good thing.  It always makes me sad to think that someone else has to loose a baby too. However it was NOT a good meeting tonight.  I'm totally baffled how someone can sit in a room full of people who have ALL lost a child in one way or another and say that no one knows what they are going through and that what they went through is far worse than what everyone else has gone through... Yea for me personally a miscarriage would be far easier than what we did go through for Colette, but I would never say to anyone that had a miscarriage that what I went through was far worse than what they went through.  I would never dream of it!  Yet I had to sit through ...

Another Ultrasound update

Today I went to the Hospital and had another Ultra sound with Maternal Fetal Medicine.  Other than both of the babies being in kind of a funky position  everything looks great.  And the babies are not measuring small by any means!  Baby A is about 2lbs 8 oz and Baby B is about 2lbs 11oz.  But it was good to see their little hearts beating away and watch them snuggle together.  I have a little break from dr's appointments for a couple of weeks but it will be fun to see how much they have grown the next time we get to have a peek at them.
