We had our big ultrasound last week and everything went perfectly! Baby measured in at the 49th percentile with very long legs…taking after its daddy already. Baby was a wiggle worm and was constantly trying to suck its thumb. It was just so wonderful to see the little one and have that validation that everything was going well.

Noah went with us and he absolutely loved hearing the baby’s heartbeat. He kept saying “hear the heartbeat again” and the ultrasound tech did three or four separate times for him. She was awesome. On the last one, I recorded it so he can hear it anytime.

So to celebrate the good news, I came home and ate one or three of these. They are one of the most amazing desserts I have made in a long time.

As a kid, I remember my mom loving oatmeal creme pies. We didn’t have them very often but it’s something that always stuck in my mind. So, when I came across this recipe for Oatmeal Crème Pie Bars, I bookmarked it and kept it in the back of my mind for the perfect occasion. When I was searching for the perfect Memorial Day dessert, I remembered this and knew my family would love it.

In a little over a day, we destroyed the entire pan and we didn’t even feel bad about it.

They really do taste like the real thing, just without all the nasty preservatives. I don’t mean to be bossy, but you have to make these. Ok?
