Wee Scare
On September 18 I phoned HealthLink because I had noticed a severe decrease in fetal activity. The nurse I spoke to told me to call an ambulance and get to the hospital right away! I just had Ryan drive me there, but we went right away, alright!
The nurses at the hospital said that every time someone who is pregnant phones HealthLink, they panic and tell them to go to the hospital. But better safe than sorry, right? And major changes in activity are something they say to look out for. So they hooked me up to the monitors and spent some time checking us (me & baby) out.
Happy to say, everything is absolutely fine!

Second Ultrasound
Here are the pictures we got from the second ultrasound, done on September 10th - at almost 35 weeks.
See the smile there in the second picture? :-)

Pregnancy Picture
Here is a portrait of me pregnant!
It was done by Naomi, the four-year-old daughter of friends of ours. Isn't it great?
You can actually see the baby in my belly!
I just love it!

Garage Sale
Well, we had our garage sale on Saturday.
For those of you who don't know, Graziela is here visiting, and wanted to get rid of the stuff she still had up here in storage. Ryan and I just wanted to get rid of excess junk and make some money! So we spent the last couple of weeks going through stuff, pricing stuff, planning, and preparing. What a lot of work! Ryan took Friday off work (it's always an optional day anyhow) to help set up. We put an ad in the paper, and even got the requisite garage sale permit. (I'm sure most people probably don't bother, but we figured better to spend a tiny bit of our profit on a permit, rather than risk spending ALL of it on a fine!) The weather ended up cool and gray, which was unfortunate - I'm sure our bottled water and Gatorade would have sold much better had it been hot! But thankfully, the rain held off for most of the day. We were supposed to finish at 5:00, and rain started at 3:00. Good thing that by 3:00 we had sold enough stuff that we could fit the things outside into the garage! I couldn't believe that people had the audacity to ring the doorbell on the house when we tried to close half an hour early!! Oh well. At least they bought something!
All told, I suppose it was a success. Griz made some money on her stuff, I made some money on my stuff, and Ryan did the best of all with his tools that he was selling.
It occurred to me Saturday night though... Next time, we'd make more money (and save a lot of headache!) giving the stuff to Goodwill and having Ryan go in to work on Friday!
