Discovery Gateway & Good News!!

It has been a while since I blogged last, and I had promised to blog more often. I have a really good excuse, and news, that I will share in a minute.

First, my mom took the girls to Discovery Gateway on Saturday, it was a lot of fun!!! Too bad naps were needed and Nate had to run off and work or we would have stayed longer.
Becca and Brooke doing what they enjoy the most, playing in water!!! This was showing how water comes from the clouds and makes it to your house -- then there are all kinds of things to fill and dump and splash what kid wouldn't have a great time!!!

Here is Brooke and Becca "on the farm" riding a horse. This area has a hen house that you can gather eggs and a little farm to "plant" (put veggies into bowls) and "gather" (get as many veggies as you can and put them in a truck or wagon and haul them around). My girls pretty much just wanted to ride the horse :-)


The next place they went was to the grocery store where they could shop and get what they wanted and check-out just like a real store!! (Unlike a real store, when you are done you have to put everything back)

And last, but for sure not least, the climbing wall. Becca must have been a mountain goat in another life the way she just scrambled up the wall!! Brooke climbed a bit, then got scared -- I wasn't fast enough to get a picture.
There was also a section to put balls in different tubes and turn cranks etc. and the balls would go all over -- it was really fun too, but I didn't realize I had my camera when the girls were playing there.


Ok, Ok, is your suspense peaked? I have been very sick for the last couple of months and I didn't think I could keep that out of a blog (since I really didn't do much but the necesities and try not to move) I am pregnant!!!!! 12 weeks today!!! Meaning I'm finally past the really scary time for misscarriages. So you see, for the last couple of months all I have been able to think about is being pregnant, sick, and hopping I wouldn't loose this one -- so I didn't think I would be able to blog without saying something to let the cat out of the bag.


Original due date was Aug. 3 then after a couple of ultrasounds the doctors decided I was two weeks back (thereby elongating the secret) so my current due date is Aug. 17. Based on my history I think the baby will still come sometime mid to late July. Don't know the gender yet (too early) but have seen and heard the heartbeat and everything appears to be healthy. YEA!! :-)

That Discovery Gateway looks like a lot of fun. I'll have to make it a point to take my kids there sometime when we're down. I'm sure Kate would love the rock wall too. Becca looks very cool all sprawled out on the wall like that. Tell her I think she's awesome.

I'm glad baby is doing good. We pray for you lots and I'm glad to hear that you're starting to feel a little better. There's not much that stinks as much as morning sickness.
