Pumpkin Patching: 2010

So.... I'm about a month and a half behind... I WILL catch up by Christmas!

Addie loved sitting on all the pumpkins...


And carrying them around



Evie didn't like any of it






Addie loved the cart ride!


Evie loved the snuggles
























The best family pic we could get... it took forever, and it isn't even very good :(


Evie was just not in a picture taking mood.




Addie was, she is such a little model



Cousies in the wagon



She was DONE

Catching up: Part 11 of 13: Standing up

Evie is such a mover and a shaker... here she is crawling around her crib



Standing on her knees... once she started doing this, I said that within a week she would be pulling herself to standing (this was 6/26)








I stood her up so she could get a feeling for it....


I think she liked it





A lot of nights she would sleep in the bassinet in our room (she and Addie kept waking eachother up at night) She is a total stinker, can you see the mischief in her eyes?






Just like I said, 4 days later, Evie pulled herself to standing in the crib... I think she did it out of anger... she was supposed to be sleeping.



She really likes someone to cuddle her to sleep.... stinker.



It is so cute, how can I be mad?

Pumpkin Patching '09

We went for our yearly trip to Wells Orchard to find a pumpkin for Addie... and to take some super cute pictures!

I love the little archy think they have going to the pumpkin patch, super cute, here is Addie being pulled by Kristopher... you can't see her expression that well, but it is super cute!





Her with the pumpkin she picked (it's kinda a dud, we think we won't be able to carve it because it is too soft... so maybe she will just draw on it!)


So proud!



Ella came to join her in the wagon!





SO happy to be with Ella!




She loves her cousin :)


If only she were looking....


She really does love wearing the hood...




Cousins by the big hay mouse!


Addie checking out the bird before going into the corn maze.




Oooooooh!


Catching up!


An example of the Addie signature... every time I tell her to say "cheese" she says it, but looks away!


There we go!




Cousins by the tree! If only Ella had her eyes open! She definitely gets that from her mother!



A quick family pic... boy do we look pale!


Kristopher and Addie by the giant pumpkin... he wanted the picture taken... so I don't know why he isn't looking!




I have no idea why she is trying to lick the pumpkin!


Checking out the pre-picked pumpkin...


She liked to try to pick them up, but they were all too heavy!


Kristopher was looking for a photo op, and gave her this small pumpkin.


Big Hugs!


Cousins by the giant pumpkin!


Addie checking out more pumpkins.... she liked to try to sit on them... this one is too tall!


Here's a better one...


Apparently it was hilarious!




We had to chase her to get her to come home!!!!

A bit of a pregnancy update: I have been going in once a month for growth ultrasounds to check the baby, since I had pre-eclampsia the first time. Today we found out the baby has Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR), meaning that she measures below the 10th percentile. Today she measured at the 8th, which is down from the 35th. Now I have to go in another 3 weeks for another growth ultrasound, and I have to have a doppler ultrasound every week (where they measure the blood flow to the placenta) I also have to go in twice a week for NST (non-stress tests) to make sure the heart rate is good, and baby responds to stimuli. If any of these things don't look good at any point, I would be induced. Hopefully we won't have to do that, or will at least make it to full term... but the possibility is out there. My regular doctor said that most IUGR babies come early, and he hopes we can make it at least to 36 weeks, so that is my goal right now.
