Trey has been asking me to sing the penguin song, and I have no idea what he is talking about. It is probably something he learned at school and I keep forgetting to ask the teachers. When I ask him to teach me the words, all he says is “Penguin. STOP!” If anyone knows what song this could be, please let me know.

In my search for this song, I went on youtube to find it. I couldn’t find it, but somehow we stumbled on a random song (search for Kids Penguin Song on youtube.com) and he asks for it about 3 times a day. And it makes him giggle for some reason.

It is normal to have cravings this late in pregnancy?  Or maybe I just LOVE these bran muffins.  They aren’t typical - they are really light and fluffy.  So light, in fact, that I had 7 the other day in a span of 2  hours (with no ill side effects if you know what I mean).

In the words of Yo Gabba Gabba - “Try it!  You’ll Like it!”

4 c. flour (I use whole wheat - makes them a bit heavier but not enough to really notice)
2 c. wheat bran
1 1/3 c. sugar (you can use Splenda too)
4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
4 c. buttermilk (1 quart)
4 eggs
1 c. canola oil

Mix these ingredients together.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cook for 18-20 min.

This makes a lot of batter, but it is good for 3 weeks in the fridge so you cook just what you need.  Of course, you can always halve the recipe as well.

Note:  You can add anything to this batter like millet just for a little crunch, fresh fruit, nuts, or anything that suits your fancy.

Only about a month until he/she arrives!
