Baby Update: Logan and I went to the doctor yesterday for one of my weekly check-ups (Ahh, that means we’re really close to the end!) where they did a scheduled ultrasound to check how big the baby is.
Two weeks ago, I was measuring two and a half weeks ahead in my fundal height (measurement of the uterus). So, the doctors were scared that I might be birthing a HUGE baby since I was so ahead of schedule.
But, I knew that it was most likely due to the fact that I am extremely short waisted (my ribs sit inside of my hips). So, the baby has absolutely no where to go except for OUT, making it seem as though I’m carrying a larger baby than I really am. Thank goodness that’s not the case. The ultrasound proved to us that the baby is right on track, weighing 6 pounds. Only 4 more weeks to go!
Anyway…onward to the brownies!!!
I know, I know. You’ve heard it a thousand times. I love chocolate & peanut butter…especially when combined. It’s seriously one of the greatest combinations. Ever.
I was so happy a couple of weeks ago when I finally tracked down found a girl scout and her cookies. Thank you to the random troop selling in front of Lowes! 😉
I was a really good girl though, and didn’t get my favorite: thin mints. I knew the entire box would have been demolished by the end of the day (I love them frozen…Mmm). And we all know that that would not have been pleasant for baby or momma. 😉
But, I did indulge in a box of these beauties. Apparently there are two companies that make the girl scout cookies and this company happens to call them Peanut Butter Sandwiches. I’ve always known them as Do-Si-Dos, though. What do you know them as???
Oh, and what’s your favorite girl scout cookie???
Last, but not least, you should make these brownies. The perfect combination, I’m telling you. Trust me!
