Pumpkin Picking & Carving



On Saturday we took Chloe pumpkin picking in the rain. It was a quick trip but the weather let up just enough for us to grab 3 pumpkins. She had a great time riding in the wagon her daddy was pulling!

Then on Sunday, for my birthday, Matt made breakfast, we carved pumpkins, watched football, Mommy got to take a nap, and we had ice cream cake! It was the perfect day!













Couch Rest

Yesterday I had some bleeding, went to the doctor and here we are again...bed rest. Hopefully this time it will only be for today. I am awaiting the results of yet another fFn test. If it is negative then I can return to work, if it is positive....I'm afraid to think about :(

I only need another 50 hours to complete my internship. I am scheduled to get there by next week, so keep your fingers crossed I can complete the required time and won't be couch bound yet again.

Can You Tell?

Anyone who has been pregnant has had more then a few pregnant moments when you say something utterly ridiculous and think that you are being perfectly logical.

Matt took me out to dinner Saturday night for my birthday. We went to a really nice restaurant; planning to spend a few hours. We're looking over the menu and I can't concentrate on anything except my internal dilema of wether or not I could have a glass of wine.

Me: I think I am going to order a glass of wine

Matt: You should, it's your birthday

Me: Yeah, but I feel guilty

Matt: It's fine, it will take you a while to drink it anyway with food

Me: I'm more concerned about what other people will think seeing me drink it

Matt: (Eye rolls)

Me: (being totally serious) Can you tell that I am pregnant?

Matt: Huh?

Me: Can you tell? Do you think this sweater hides my belly?

Matt: Are you serious?

Me: What??!!

Matt: Er, you're almost 8 months pregnant

Me: Hmph!

I ordered one anyway :)

Apple Picking

(Late Post)
4 weeks ago Matt, Chloe & I went apple picking with our friends The Glascotts. Chloe loves spending time with Aunt Danielle and Uncle Edgar but especially with their son Kevin. We had a beautiful day on a great farm with lots of fields to walk around in and even a petting zoo!






Here we go again....

(I haven't written in FOREVER, so I am making a vow to start again. I have been super busy with work, Chloe, pregnancy, weekend classes, etc...but it is not an excuse so we have a lot of catching up to do. )

I have 10 1/2 weeks to go before baby number #2 makes his or her debut, ...nope, still don't know the sex. So far I have only had one night in the hospital (contractions for three hours before I called) when we arrived at the hospital they were 5 minutes apart. At the time I was only 25 weeks, 3 weeks earlier then when it happened with Chloe. Needless to say we were a little panicked. The doctor was wonderful (it was the first time we met this one). She wanted to release me with a script for Breathene....I begged her not too. Anyone who has ever been on it knows how horrible the stuff is, so I promised I would take it easy and if it happens again, then bed rest.

I need to make it until Nov. 7th to finish my hours for my internship...after that if I need to stop work it would be ok, in the meantime, Matt is being the activity Nazi at home, not allowing me to do anything. He is wonderful, but you all know how I can't sit still so it has been a struggle. I am learning to live with dust and piles of laundry...but with only 75 days until DD...I might need to sneak in some cleaning while Hitler isn't looking:)
