We have had some events lately....We took a family outing to Deanna Rose's Farmstead a few weekends ago. It is basically a small farmstead in the middle of Overland Park. For you Iowa folks, it is a miniture version of living history farms. We had a good time. Emerson loved the pigs, horses, cows, and fishing pond. She did NOT love the goats- they were a little aggressive for her liking. We walked around most of the farm but is does warrant a trip back. We did a hayride which took us to the halloween and pumpkin exhibit. Emerson had a blast on the haybale slide and the corn pit (a hog trough filled with feed corn). We each picked out our favorite choice of pumpkin! We will definitely make another trip to the "farm" next year.
Emerson had to have tubes put in her ears a few weeks ago as well. We have had a rash of ear infections since late August/September and none of the antibiotics were working so after having 7 infections within the last year (3 in the last 2 months) the ENT thought it was time. She did really well and hasn't had any problems since! It is a little scarey knowing that they are going to put your child under anesthetic to do the procedure but it was only about 15 minutes and she had great doctors so we are happy with her care!
Little O 2.0 is growing perfectly and can put his/her big sister to shame with the amount of movement this little one can do! He/she moves constantly!! It is a good sign but I can only wonder how what my 8 and 9th month will be if it is this "busy" now! We are seeing the Dr every two weeks now since we are into the 3rd trimester and Dr. Heit is cutting us off travel outside the metro after the 25th of October. I did get clearance to go to Omaha/Lincoln for a wedding the first week of November but after that no travel more than 1 hour away. This is standard protocol for their practice and all of their patients. Dr. Smith did the same thing with Emerson. I recently failed my glucose test but do have to complete a 3 hour test this weekend to confirm if I do in fact have Gestational Diabetes which is likely. I had it with Emerson and expected it again. It is a bummer but a small sacrifice for a healthy baby!!
