Pumpkin and Apple Picking

Last weekend we went to Jones Creek Farm in Sedro Woolley, with Kathryn and Jesse. We picked apples and pumpkins for K Fest (Kathryn's birthday) and then went to K's new place after and carved, and made a fresh apple cobbler. Here are some pictures of the fun, plus my 6 weeks belly picture. I am almost 9 weeks (tomorrow) so I will take an updated one soon!

First Appointment

We met with Andrea, one of my three midwives today for the first appointment. I am officially due June 6th. We talked about morning sickness, and I got a few pointers, so now I have a few new things to try out. It was fun to bring Oliver and have everyone see him so grown up! My favorite midwife, who was a student when I was pregnant with Ollie, is a licensed midwife at the Birth Center now, and our next appointment is with her. I am already really excited, especially since she delivered Ollie! Andrea said it was too early to hear the heartbeat, so we will do that at the next appointment, as well as a blood draw....:( I have to start preparing now, so that I dont freak out! But besides that news, it was a great appointment, and hopefully I can start doing belly pictures soon, once I find the other batteries that go in my camera. My life is totally consumed with food at the moment, since I am getting sick if I dont eat every 30 mins or so, and just feel queasy the rest of the time. Sigh. It's exhausting, but I just remind myself of the beautiful baby in the making.

Random cuteness :)

Feeling nostalgic today. Here are some new and old pictures of Ollie.

Morning Sickness

I dont really have anything to write about except morning sickness. It kicked in a few days ago, and I have pretty much been on the couch ever since. Cereal is my new best friend. I've also been working on my hats, which I am very behind on. We are just getting thru each day, Ben is busy doing school work each night, and getting good grades!

Ollie turned 15 months on the 13th, he is getting so big! He will be having a doctor appt. soon so I will have something interesting to write then :) His new favorite thing is giving high-5's, especially to Daddy. Next week is our first appt with the midwives to hear Baby #2's heartbeat! Can't wait! Hope everyone is well and enjoying the fall colors!

Family Photos

We had family pictures taken by a friend of mine who happens to be a very talented photographer, starting her own business. We got some awesome pictures from her! Her blog is: http://www.jsheltonphotography.blogspot.com/.

First Appt Scheduled!

Our first appt with the midwives will be on the 22nd of Oct. I can't wait! My favorite midwife, who was a student when Ollie was born, is still working there and I am SO excited to see her again. She was also at Ollie's birth.

And here are some pictures from Ollie's haircut. What a big boy!
