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:)

Trip to the Zoo
Last Tuesday Matt & I took Chloe down to the Bronx Zoo for "Toddler Tuesday". The zoo puts on a special puppet show at the children's zoo.
We had a great time, fantastic weather and we discovered Chloe can say "Monkeys" very well. In fact the first 15 minutes of the car ride home we kept hearing "Back...Monkeys"
She enjoyed lots of piggy back rides from Daddy, her first carousel ride and since mommy has been pregnant she thinks ice cream in the middle of the day is perfectly normal!

Oh Baby!
Yesterday we had our halfway point ultrasound with the baby. We realized that this baby will be the 10th grandchild on Matt's side and the 6th on mine. Neither of the grandmothers had been to an ultrasound with any of the kids so we invited them both.
So our entourage consisting of Matt, myself, Chloe, GiGi, and Nana went to the ultasound together. We still want to be surprised about the baby's sex, but it was hard not to try and peek between the legs to see if we could catch a glimpse of anything...we saw things but I have no clue what we were looking at...so the gender is still a mystery.
All in all the test went well, they had to check my cervical length because of preterm labor with Chloe...(more on that later). They measured all of the baby's parts from top to bottom. Now, I think I may have mentioned that I am gaining weight like a pro...maybe a little more than the "recommended" amount. So we're just about done when the tech exclaims:
"The baby is about 8oz"
Me: "That's big isn't it?"
Tech: "Yeah, really big"
Fantastic.
Tech: "The doctors told you that your due date is January 3, but I am showing a due date of the 8th:
Me: "So the baby is already really big for the January 3 date and now your telling me the due date should be a week later?"
Tech: "Yes"
So I'm giving birth to a giant??? Great.

Summer Swimming
While I was away at school Matt bought Chloe a toddler pool so she could swim. We filled it up the other night and let her splash around while mommy sat in the cold water trying to numb her broken toe:(
