Before I start talking about Monday, I should probably update you on a few things.
1. I still haven't heard back from Medicaid, so I went ahead and canceled my Monday doctor's appointment instead of just rescheduling it. If Medicaid continues to take this long, I'll never see the doctor, and the first time I do see one will be when I'm in labor at the hospital. Anyway, I'll let you know when I'm finally able to go to the doctor. Until then, I don't know how this pregnancy is going, ok? I guess it's alright because I'm still alive, and the baby is too (because it's started moving around a lot more!).
2. I'm really excited. Why? We're getting a new one of these:
Yes, we're getting a new mattress set! I wouldn't normally be so excited, but the mattress we've been using since we've moved to Ohio is actually my brother-in-law's old bed that he had used for years. The moment I laid down on the bed, my poor pregnant hips would start to hurt. I would wake up achy every day. It was pretty horrible.
Anyway, we got a super deal on a queen sized pillow-top mattress this last week, and we're going to pick it up later today. I'm finally going to be able to sleep and feel good when I wake up!
Ok, now I can tell you about Columbus Day!
Since we live close to Columbus, Ohio, my dad, mom, sister Susette, and Jason all got off work for the day. Unfortunately, Josh, Susette's husband, still had school. In the morning, we went to this beautiful place called Hocking Hills. I took a few pictures.
This totally reminds me of this Monet painting!
More pictures from Monday:
Dad and Andrew walking across one of the many bridges.
Walking along the path.
A crazy tree - lots of dead branches, but still pretty on top!
A cool caterpillar we found along the way. (Andrew loved poking it. lol.)
You might not be able to see him, but Andrew's sticking his arm through the bars of the bridge to steady him so he can see the scenery with Grandma and Grandpa.
After leaving Hocking Hills, we went to a small town called Laurelville. They have a place that's famous for their apples and cider, so we got some of both. Also, we ate some really good food at a restaurant there.
I love holidays, mostly for the time I get to spend with my family. It's nice to be able to make some real, solid memories instead of just talking about making them. (Like Disney said, "quit talking and start doing".) I hope that I become more of a "doer" with time so that my kids can look back on their childhood and have some pretty awesome memories, like we made on Columbus Day!
Secret: This might sound stupid, but I make a VERY detailed "to do" list every day. It includes things like, "eat breakfast", and "get dressed". Yeah. I do it because when I don't do it, I don't have a plan for the day, and I end up doing absolutely nothing. Isn't that sad?
We went to Laurelville (before Hocking Hills--haha) last month for Labor Day. Where did you eat? We liked the place we went to right across the street from the little apple store place. I don't remember what it was called though. Something inn? I don't know!
ReplyDeleteYour doctor's office should also be able to help you apply to Medicaid. Or go through the hospital, I would recommend Riverside since they're the ones we went through and they were so nice and the process was easy.
