Blueberry Cupcakes with Lemon Glaze

Blueberry Cupcakes with lemon glaze
I'm learning to adapt to a new way of life.  Most of my new skills now involve doing things with one hand.  I've almost mastered typing on the computer with just my left hand, I've developed a system of getting dressed with one side of my body accessible at a time, and most importantly, I'm learning to eat one handed all while I have a wiggly 13 pounder in my other arm.

The key to my new eating style revolves around easy, unfussy foods.  Having these muffins/cupcakes in the fridge might be one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

Who came up with the phrase sleeps like a baby? I would love to meet that person. Better yet, I'd love to meet their baby. If I was using a phrase to describe how my baby sleeps, it might be more along the lines of sleeps like a hyena or maybe a circus.  There is more grunting and whimpering than I would have ever imagined, and this does not line up with the angelic image I had in my mind of a silent peaceful sleeping baby.
