Apple Charles

Since Kevin was off, we decided to head to Apple Charles. It is a nice little cider mill/apple orchard. The first thing we seen when we arrived were the chickens. Then we seen deer, a Lama, Ostrich, a cow, piggies, rabbits and horses. We decided to see if Nathan would like to go on a horsey ride. He loved it, even though he was only on it for all of 3 minutes. They do not let the kids ride for any length of time.

After the horsey ride, we went on the carousel. He liked it okay, and didn't seem scared, but the whole time he kept asking for daddy.

After the rides, we went to the little pond, where Nathan seen the ducks and geese. After we pointed to the geese and said their name. He kept saying "Geese" It was really adorable. He loved the geese, and ducks. After having lunch, and getting our doughnuts and cider. We headed home. Nathan must have had a great time, because he was wore out and passed out on the way home.

I can't wait to take him to another Cider mill.

Very Active

Pumpkin was very active today. Nathan and I were in Home Depot, and as I was trying to find room darkening shades, and trying to keep Nathan from acting out, pumpkin was so active. Just kicking up a storm. I guess she/he wanted apart of the action too.

Another appointment and ultrasound

Today was another busy day for the Wood family. While Nathan was at his grandma & PaPa's house, Kevin and I had a few errands to run.

First stop, we got our new car. I just love it. It is a 2010 Ford Escape XLT, and its loaded pretty well. It drives so smoothly. I am glad we decided to buy this one.

Second stop Doctors office. First my appointment was with Dr. Al-Jerdi. He is very pleased with our progress. My BP was 132/86 and so far I have lost a total of 10 pounds. Pumpkins Heartbeat was nice and strong at 156. He told me to keep up the good work, and he will see me again in a month. After he left, I had a flu shot, and some blood taken.

Final stop UltraSound (In the same office) We were so excited to see pumpkin, and even more excited to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Well Pumpkin had other plans. The tech said pumpkin is in the WORST stop he/she could be in. Right behind my belly button. The only thing we were able to see was the top of the head, heartbeat, and a foot. Needless to say the gender is still a mystery. We were both really bummed, and have to come back in 3 weeks (Oct 13th) She said by then we can for sure tell, and can possibly get some good 3D shots. We can't wait.

Nathan's Swim Class

Nathan started up his swim class again. Luckily someone canceled and we were next on the waiting list. He was so excited all week to go swimming, and boy did his face light up and we pulled up. He had blast, even though the water was freezing. I on the other hand had a hard time. He is just so heavy, and having to hold him for 30 min and tossing him around was a little to much on me, and I think pumpkin. I was crampy a little afterwards.

Since it just started and we have 9 more weeks, I am going to let others take him in the water, and I will either watch from the sidelines, or go in the water, but let others hold him. Next week Nathans grandma (w) is going to take him. I think she is excited about it as much as he is.
