Update on "Miracle"
Today, we went to the "baby doctor". At least that is what Camille calls it. My blood pressure and my weight gain is all where it should be. I am measuring right at 38 weeks and have not started dilating yet. I never did with Camille. My water broke on the day she was due and like 5% of babies she was born on her due date. The doctors are saying my due date is November 12 which is 40 weeks and they will induce me if I have not delivered by 41 weeks. Some people say second babies come sooner, while others say their second one have come late. My doctor says they usually come around the same time the first one did. So, right now we are on baby watch. Only God and this baby know when the time is.
Camille is very excited about being a big sister. Every night at bedtime, she kisses and snuggles my belly constantly. She has also started singing to her "The ABC song" and "Jesus Love Me", both verses. She is very proud of herself when she does. "Miracle" really responds to Camille's voice and really seems to like it. She especially loves it when Camille laughs. Sometimes I think they have what they say about a twin connection. Because, Camille always seems to know where in my tummy that "miracle" is and "miracle" seems to really respond and move a lot when Camille is playing near my tummy.
I can't wait to meet our little "miracle" and be a family of four. But, I am most looking forward to Camille's reaction the first time she meets her sister. Definitely going to be a Kodak moment.
Our Trip to the Pumpkin Patch
Last weekend, we went to the Kinsey Family Farm in Gainesville, Georgia. This is our first visit to a pumpkin patch. We usually buy our pumpkins at the local church. This year, we decided that Camille would enjoy having her 1st hayride.
When we first got there, they had an apple cannon. It was like an air cannon that they would load apples into and you'd shoot them at a target. Daddy actually hit a target. Camille was "helping" Mommy so it was hard to aim. But, we did hit the fence and our apple broke into 3 pieces. The cows were happy to be fed. To feed the cows was Camille's favorite part.
Off to the left you can see the target.
Camille really liked riding on the hayride. It went around their Christmas tree farm and halfway through it stopped at deck. You could feed the fish. Off on the other side of the pond, they had decorated it with ghosts that we holding hands. Camille saw them and thought they were a dinosaur. She said, "Look Daddy. I see a dinosaur. Dinosaur says "ROAR"!" She is saying that in the next picture. She says the cutest things sometimes.
"Dinosaur says 'Roar!!!'"
After the hayride was over, it was time to pick out a pumpkin. Camille really liked riding in the wagon while trying to find a pumpkin. We found a big family pumpkin. Then, she wanted a pumpkin for her and her baby sister.
We had a great time at the pumpkin patch. We can't wait to do it with our new family next year!

My 1st Blog
Many of my friends have started blogging and I really enjoy reading them. It is a great way to keep in touch with your friends and family. Our website has place to blog. I thought while I have a little time before the baby gets here; I would share information and pictures of things we have been doing lately. My plan is to add something each week but with a new baby things might change. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do posting our newest news.
