Berry-Kale Protein Smoothie

I will post this week's menu plan tomorrow, but here's the latest breakfast love of my kids. I started making it over the weekend and especially the teenage girl is in love. Recipe is as follows and it is so easy!

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 cup plain greek yogurt

1 cup frozen berry/kale mix bought at BJs

Tbsp or two of local honey for sweetness

Blend all ingredients in a blender or Vitamix. If you do not have a Vitamix, I highly recommend one! It blends things so fabulously and has much more power than anything else I've ever had before.

The boys are getting used to it not being as sweet as the recipe they used for samples at BJs over the weekend. Theirs had sweetened vanilla almond milk and sweetened vanilla greek yogurt and the honey on top of all that. Here's the pic of the frozen fruit and kale mix.

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
