Pomegranate Cheesecake-- Check!

I did it. I made the Pomegranate Cheesecake. I spent the better part of yesterday working on it (& praying it would turn out) & took it to a party I went to tonight. The scary thing about taking a cheesecake is that you can't take a slice to see how it turned out (despite Sam's argument).

Turn out it did. It was a hit-- and so very delectably delicious!!!

It's too time consuming to just "whip up" on a regular basis but I definitely will make this a seasonal treat for some event each year.

The only thing that turned out differently for me, I think, was the Pomegranate "glaze" turned out to be more of a Pomegranate "jelly". I actually liked it this way though. I think it looks better for presentation & it is too yummy to be running all over the place.

I consider this a baking success!

Your finished cheesecake looks amazing! I'm so proud of you. Honestly, for never having made a cheesecake, yours turned out perfectly, which basically means you are a natural and should be teaching me a thing or two!

37 Weeks 2 Days

It's almost the end! I saw Dr. Adam last Thursday and I'm starting to spill protein and swell a little. But my BP is good! So we'll see what happens when I see her this Thursday. We may have to deliver early! I have mixed feelings about that because I really wanted to make it to 39 weeks, and my parents can't come until the 14th. But Sam is worried about my kidneys. So we'll see. Baby girl was 6.5 lbs last week. Even if she comes this week, she'll probably be about 7 lbs! Me on the other hand... I've gained 40 lbs! I have 5 lbs to go to be where I was with my other deliveries. Let's see if I get there! :)

Today we got together with another set of twins! Caden & Addison are just a month younger than Nathan & Alexa and were born at Texas Women's also! I met their mom (Laurie) through an email list I got on while on bed rest in the hospital. There was another mom who was supposed to join us who also has boy/girl twins their age-- but she couldn't make it. What a picture that would have been!

Nathan McKay Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:37 a.m., weighs 5 lbs. 8.5 oz, & is 20 in. long Alexa Dawn Oldroyd Born August 4th at 6:38 a.m., weighs 4 lbs. 5.5 oz, & is 1 6.75 in. long We are so excited that they are finally here! The C-Section went very well & Alisha is recovering well, with the help of pain meds! Nathan needs quite a bit of help with breathing but is improving. We’re told that he may get his ventilator tube out today & they would help him breathe using a C-pap. He breathes ok on his own so he mostly now just needs some pressure to remind him to breathe. He is still in the highest level of the NICU but is doing well. He’ll be in there for at least a few days after we get to go home. Alexa is tiny but doing extremely well. Alisha was able to hold her while still in the OR before she needed some oxygen help. She only had to stay on the oxygen until 11 a.m. and is still in the lower level NICU. She should get to move to the normal nursery tomorrow m...
