Almost every day for the past 2 years I have made oat bran for breakfast (OK, not while I was having morning sickness, but most of the other days). I have gotten very good at it! Measure the water, measure the oat bran, microwave for 1 minute, stir, microwave for 55 seconds, put in bowl with milk substitute =) and eat.
I remember finding out that 55 seconds (rather than 1 minute) was the correct time for the second round of microwaving---the oat bran would never overflow the container, so I didn't have to watch it. Lately, however, it only takes 50 seconds for the oat bran to overflow, sometimes only 45 seconds! Some might speculate that the weather is hotter, so the water I use is hotter than usual. This can't be true since I only get water from the refrigerator. I blame global warming.
In other news, Luke woke up last night, talked for a while and then started screaming! When I went in to him, I found he had turned over on his stomach and couldn't quite turn back over... He got back to sleep pretty quickly once he was comfortable again.
