For Fear of Reprisal

How many of us have ever blogged with fear of reprisal? Hopefully not too many-but I've received one too many requests to keep updating our Nibblets...and I don't wanna fight so here goes nothing! Ha! The past two weeks have been quite busy (hence no blogging, people). Mike and I made a very quick trip to Holiday, Florida to be with his family after uncle Richard's passing. Our stay was merely 6 hours but we were able to see his parents and aunt; who we probably won't see again until December. Our latest (and last) ultrasound went spectacularly! My placenta has migrated (too funny, huh) the necessary distance to allow a vaginal delivery-yeah! Although we still have 10 weeks to go, Gabriel is currently calling it cool in a breech position. The pictures were humorous because he was literally folded in half with his hands and feet in front of his face (a "frank breech"). He has plenty of time to turn around and our due date remains December 8th. Childbirth classes start this Thursday (October 1st) and are every Thursday for five weeks. We'll go over the anatomy of the pregnancy, laboring positions, pain management, and the stations of delivery. Quite fun! We also get a tour of the labor and delivery unit at our hospital, Tallahassee Memorial. Monday, October 19th is our Baptism Preparation Class as well where we will learn about the sacrament and things like Godparents-it should be quite interesting.

My supervisor at Ecke
rd is getting married this weekend (go, Ang!) and we're traveling to St. George Island for the event. We will be back home the following day. Since our son is quickly approaching his arrival, this will probably act as our 'babymoon'-our last vacation of sorts without children. We are still hoping to host our annual haunted house and are still awaiting replies from several of our core volunteers and will keep everyone posted as to if it's a 'go'-funny thing is, the outfit I wore last year for a costume would probably fit me perfectly this year! Ha! With our beautiful 60 degree mornings and my shortly fulfilled Decaf Peppermint Mocha Latte from Starbucks, the fall is off to a glorious start!
