A Manatee Adventure

  Recently I had my 28 week appt for our new baby who is coming in Janurary.  This appt involves a blood draw and glucose test.  I am very fortunate that my midwife uses a 50g Carb breakfast instead of a heavily sugered drink.  Bob joined the kids and I for the appt so the timing would be right and then we had a fun family day afterwards.  THe midwife's office is setting up a second location so at the last minute we discovered we were driving to a new location.




 The directions we used took us needlessly through extra towns but it did let us see a sign for Blue Springs State Park, winter home to hundreds of manetees.  So after the appt we went to look for manettes and saw at least a dozen.  The kids played on a playground and we had lunch at a local diner. It was a great family day.

Aw, I love Blue Springs! It's right near my parents' house and where I grew up, and a couple winters ago I was finally able to take Chris to see them, as well as Judah. One of my favorite animals!

...And 28 weeks?! Wow, for some reason I keep thinking you're going to pop any day now!! Maybe it just seems so long ago that you told us, or that so much has happened in that time, that it seems like you're further along!!
