Whewww what a day--I spent most of the day sitting in the OB office--  I knew it would be a long appointment as it was the sugar test...  Well when I got there and drank the drink (which seemed much smaller and more do-able than before) there was a note on my chart that the midwife wanted an ultra sound done-- I knew I was measuring big 2 weeks ago - I was 26 weeks measuring 31...but I thought they were going to give it another month or so-- guess not-- they REALLY wanna see how BIG this baby is--  They are always so concerned with my babies size-- but really I'm not--  Zachary was 10.8 and was delivered (after induction due to pre-eclamsia) vag. with some tearing-- Joshua was 9.11 and was delivered (after induction due to worry about size) FINE-- Stephen was 8.11 and was delivered (after induction due to worry about size) FINE--  They are all getting smaller-- and they are all really getting "easier"...I know that isn't the ALWAYS the case-- but they really do look at Zachary's stats and WORRY!!  So looks like in 2 weeks I'll get to confirm if this REALLY TRULY IS A GIRL!! 

Well after my measly post yesterday I decided to head out to the local pick-your own produce stand-- and pick some blueberries (after picking another bowl of raspberries)-- I was in HEAVEN-- the bushes were LOADED-- Jason and I each took a bucket and a kid and we each did a BUSH-- they were SOOOO FULL!!!  It was awesome (I thought) No prickers-- No stamping down weeds--just stand and pick--but they boys got REALLY bored REALLY quick-- I guess "TACKLING" the GREENS is half the battle for them!!   So we did pick 7+ lbs in less than an hour--

Then I made the mistake-- this pregnancy makes me very-- ummmm IMPULSIVE-- of heading to another FARM MARKET and buy some CHERRIES-- I won't even share what I PAID!!     And we also bought some plums and some nectarines---- uhhhh it was a BAD IMPLUSIVE MOVE!!

We'll start with the bad-- this section just didn't turn out-- however yesterday the boys and daddy re-planted some watermelon, and beans-- so we'll see...

Here is one of our MASSIVE tomato plants-- I can't even tell you how many tomatos we get a year-- hubby has this down to a SCIENCE!!

This is my lettuce row-- hubby planted another one yesterday right beside it with some spinach--

This is our first time trying Broccoli-- we eat a lot of it-- so I do hope it turns out

Outside the garden we of course have our raspberries and then we have our grape vine-- which needs some TLC from someone who KNOWS what they are doing---  here is 1/2 of it

It is FULL of grapes!!

Then we have 2 pear trees (which didn't load up)  and 3 apple trees:

 

While snapping tree pictures-- I found THIS in one of our apple trees-- HMMMMMM INTERESTING!! 

And now I must get back to my dishes-- I'll have some pictures of some of "Putting Up the Bounty" later...
