Shopping Attitude

I love her shopping style, always with such purpose.

Food Shopping with Papa

This is why Maddy only ever wants to go food shopping with Papa...

This was her bag of prizes.

Almost 28 Weeks

Mondays are so much better when coupled with great doctors appointments. With Maddy, my prenatal appointments usually went like this:

Doctor: Hmmm.... blood pressure is high....

Nurse: Weight gain is pretty high too. Why is she gaining so much?
Doctor: Let's get her to the hospital.
ME: I went yesterday!
Doctor: Oh good, so you know how to get there.

Lately my appointments with this little one have been wonderful. I almost feel as though I breeze in, doctor checks to find a great blood pressure, baby's heart rate is perfect, and weight gain is on track. I leave feeling ready to conquer.

Now I'll just cross my fingers that everything stays that way. Bedrest with Maddy on the outside might not be as relaxing this time.

Uncle Matt and Auntie Lauren signed on the dotted line!

Emergency!

As I was cooking dinner on Tuesday I noticed a large puddle at my feet in front of the sink. I quickly grabbed a paper towel picked it up and moved onto the salad chopping. As I rinsed the veggies I noticed again, a large puddle pooling at my feet. Hmmm... that probably warrants a little bit of an investigation, so I opened the cabinet and saw this:

Aggh! A leak! I grew up in an apartment, so anytime something "house related" occurs I tend to FREAK. Looks like even though Maddy is growing up in an house, I may have passed some of this along... because as she came barreling around the corner hearing me talk about an EMERGENCY! she started shouting to CALL THE POLICE! CALL THE POLICE! I want to move! Call the police!

Instead of the police, we called Papa... who like magic fixed our sink. (Mind you when he went to move the above leaky piping the ENTIRE THING FELL OUT OF THE WALL.) BUT, I digress... it is fixed. Maddy even had a special note waiting for her when she got home from school.

What would we do without Papa?! Maddy would probably call the POLICE!

Farm Life

We went to a local farm this past weekend to take a wonderful New England Fall afternoon

On our way home... and keeping with the farm theme, here is our conversation with Maddy:

Daddy: "Maddy, why did the chicken cross the road?"

Maddy: "I don't like chickens, can we go to the mall."

 

Hmmm... farm girl she is not. :)
