Coming soon!

I am now 36 weeks pregnant and started my weekly dr. visits this morning. For anyone who has talked to me recently, you know that I am in full-on complaining mode and am ready to get Owen out of my belly and into my arms. The good news from today's appointment is that Owen has already dropped and I am 1 cm dilated so things could start happening at anytime. The even better news is that we will probably schedule an induction at next week's visit and the doctor may even let me be induced the week before the due date! Hmmm...I'm thinking I'll munch on some spicy buffalo wings while watching this weekend's UT vs. Tech game - maybe between the hot food and the anxiety of the game I can coax Owen out on my own...

In the meantime, here's a cute picture that Mima took this weekend at a little family gathering. I think Joey is willing Owen to stay in the belly as long as possible so that he can hog the spotlight for just a little while longer.

Pumpkins...take 2!

This morning we ventured out to the pumpkin patch at Joey's school for another attempt at some pumpkin photos. We didn't get a spectacular shot, but as Joey's personal stylist, mommy was just happy with how cool the kid looked in his outfit.

Dinoland

This weekend Joey and daddy went to see the Dinoland exhibit at the Zilker Botanical Gardens. When they got home, the guys both reported to mommy that the weather was great and that they really enjoyed their Saturday morning father/son bonding time. Here are a few pictures from the park...

Elgin pumpkin patch

Earlier in the week Joey and mommy ventured out to the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm for their annual pumpkin festival. It was a gloomy and overcast day, mommy didn't feel that great and Joey wasn't in the most excitable mood either. So while we did have fun on the tractor hayride and enjoyed looking at the animals in the petting zoo, this picture below kind of sums up our trip.

We're going to try for some better pumpkin pictures this weekend with daddy.

I missed my daddy...

...this morning so I put on his glasses. What do you think? Do I look more like a mini-me version of daddy or do I look more like that little boy from Jerry Maguire?
