A broccoli recipe and some pregnancy stuff

The whole baby-moving-thing really baffles me. I read in all the books that when you start feeling the baby move, it's really hard to know if that's what you're feeling or if it's something else (like gas, for instance). I kept thinking I would know for sure. It feels fluttery right? Or like bubbles? All the books also say that it's hard to describe the feeling. Well... the books were right. You have no idea at first. I kept thinking I felt something and I would stop what I was doing and wait to feel it again and then... I didn't feel anything. It's really confusing... until that one moment when all of a sudden, you know exactly what it feels like. And... it IS HARD TO DESCRIBE!! It's a little fluttery at times but I kinda think it feels like a little thud deep inside your belly. And now, EVERY time I am sitting down, I feel him move. It's kind of a weird feeling... it makes me want to get up and move around to get my mind off of it. Don't get me wrong, in a way I love it and it's amazing, but it really is weird! I have a wild man on my hands, folks. You know it's bad when the ultrasound tech calls him "uncooperative" because he's moving so much it's hard to get measurements. Or when the tech says "good thing you can't feel him yet, he'd be driving you crazy, he's moving so much." Haha... wild man! 

On another note, last night I made dinner. We've been so busy, it's been a long time since I've cooked a meal. I decided I should grill since these beautiful warm days are definitely numbered and I'll be kicking myself later for not spending more time outside when it's cold and snowy. So I made brats and corn on the cob. I had some broccoli that I wanted to use but didn't feel like steaming it again. I made it in the oven with some stuff thrown in (recipe adapted from Barefoot Contessa)... it was so good. 

You need broccoli, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic cloves (I used 4... I love garlic), a lemon, and fresh grated parmesan cheese. 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash the broccoli and dry it very very well. Cut into florets. Dry it again. Put it on a baking sheet covered with foil. Pour some olive oil, salt and pepper over it. I just eyeballed these. Move the foil around on the pan to toss the broccoli in the oil. Peel then slice the garlic cloves and put those on top as well. 

Stick it in the oven for about 20 minutes. The broccoli will get a little crispy with brown edges and the garlic gets brown as well. After taking it out of the oven, zest the lemon over it then cut the lemon and squeeze some lemon juice on top. Grate some parmesan cheese over it. Mix it and grate a little more cheese on it. 

Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the finished product but man... it was good.
