Wow, does time fly or what?! I can't believe it is October already. So guess what this means....Kaylee's baby will be here in a few short weeks!! I am so excited. Wouldn't it be so cool if she came on Halloween? That would make her about 9 days early but that's ok and it is possible. Kaylee went to the doctor last week and found out she has low amniotic fluid. Which means they will be monitoring her very closely and if her levels get too low they would take the baby early. So it could happen.
Kaylee and I both did some research on the topic (on our own not knowing eachother were doing the same thing) and what effects low amniotic fluid can have on the baby. The amniotic fluid is what provides the cushion and protection for the baby during pregancy and contractions. Well, when the fluid is low it can cause compression on the baby and the baby doens't have room to move. During our reading we discovered one of the things it can cause is club foot. Well, Kaylee, Chris, and I were all born with a club foot but we could not trace it to either side of the family. My mom's family doesn't have a history of it and neither does my dad's. Looks like we might have solved the mystery. They didn't check for things like low amniotic fluid back then, they didn't know. Needless to say it is something they have been watching with Kaylee's baby very closely. So far she doesn't show any abnormalities in her feet. I sure hope she doesn't get it and I don't think she will. Not with what they know now and how closely they are already monitoring her.
Anywho, I am so excited for October and Fall. I love the cooler weather. I love wearing jeans and sweaters and sweatshirts, basically anything cozy and comfy. I can't wait to start wearing my boots again, no more smelly sandals and annoying flip flops. No more skimpy summer clothing where you see more than you want to on some people. Although winter doesn't really stop them. Ha ha :)
One more thing about October, it means November 20th is even closer. You know what that means?
NEW MOON!!!!!

Hey Kiera, It was fun hearing from you! It's been awhile, hasn't it? That's exciting you're getting a new baby in the family. Isn't it wierd how fast time flies and how we're all growing up? Hope all is well with you:)
