Fishing And A Pregnancy Update
Monday, August 9th, 2010
We went fishing for the first time this weekend. My poor husband has wanted to do this all summer long and we just haven’t gotten around to it yet. So,Saturday while I was at a baby shower, he grabbed the girls and took them fishing. I met up with them after the baby shower. I had originally planned on going home and taking a nice nap (yep, I’m so there right now!!) but then I felt guilty and thought I really should meet up with them and see the girls fishing. Well, I’m glad I did! It was fun and I got some cute pictures. The girls were really more interested in the snacks Mike brought them and throwing rocks in the lake. What can I say? They take after me in that department.
The only thing “we” caught was a snapping turtle.
She makes a cute fisherwoman, right?
My other cute fisherwoman.
I adore them and this picture.

Me!
A rare sight. Me in front of a camera instead of behind it! Since I had come straight from the baby shower I was not wearing the most appropriate fishing attire. Those black pants were darn hot!
Now the pregnancy update part:
Yep, still pregnant! It feels weird and exhilarating to write that. And as I do I feel like I’m jinxing it. But, ahem, I don’t really believe it that. I’ll be 7 weeks along this week and I thank God for every day that passes that I continue to stay pregnant. I’ve kind of been walking around holding my breath right now. It’s amazing how oblivious I was to miscarriage with Katelyn and Madelyn. I went along knowing they were common and happened to other women but never thinking it would actually happen to me. Now I’m so aware of that! I don’t want to be a nervous wreck until the first trimester is over but I’m definitely nervous. I really have to keep myself in check. And I know that God has his hand in everything that happens to us. And the reality is(not to be morbid!) anything can happen to this pregnancy, this baby or any of my children at any time. I can’t live my life in fear of this.
{Wow, this update went off the deep end! } So all morbidity aside, I’ve been feeling pretty good. Only a little nausea every now and then. Tiredness is starting to set in. But other than that I can’t complain! I have my first prenatal appointment on the 25th of this month. I really looking forward to that. I really, really , really want to exercise during this pregnancy. I’m also going to try to go to the Chiropractor once or twice a month and see if that keeps the migraines at bay.
If you’ve read this far I thank you.
Peace!
Apple Picking Pictures
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
We went apple picking this past Monday because Mike had the day off. We didn’t end up at our favorite apple picking farm because it’s closed on Mondays. Something we only found out once we had gotten there.We were not going home without finding some place to apple pick!!Talk about disappointment. Katelyn would have been a mess if we hadn’t done something all together that day. So we ended up at a not- as- nice place in Harvard,MA. This was Madelyn’s first time to actually pick the apples and not just sit in her stroller and watch. Mike didn’t think it was so great while he was giving her a boost and she kept dropping the apples she picked on his head. We all got a good laugh watching that.
Westwood Farms had a cute, little country store. We went inside and got some treats and then sat on the huge covered porch and ate them and enjoyed the beautiful day.
FYI-I’m trying something new. I’ve uploaded the photos from this day onto Flickr. Instead of posting a ton of pictures on this post I’m going to post the link to this Flickr album and only post a few here. You can check out this album for the rest of the pictures. And there’s room for comments on each one! I’m sure my mom will be happy about that.
You will experience true Mike humor with this picture. I was in one of those potties. I won’t tell you which one. He thought it would be fun to take a snapshot of it.
Haha, Mike.
