Apples and Babies

This Saturday is the 30th Annual Brookfield Apple Country Fair. It's the essence of small town New England in the fall. Leaves on the ground, kids running around, crafters, hay rides and more.

It almost didn't happen this year.

The past few years, volunteers have been dwindeling and last year it was announced that there would be no more Apple Country Fair. The community rallied and this year, it's back!

I've been attending the Fair since we moved to Brookfield when I was 9 or so. Last year Eric and I went camping Fair weekend, so you can imagine my saddness when I thought I was missing the very last Apple Country Fair.

This year I'm co-in charge of the Bake Table with Mary - another local woman. But on top of that, I'm having a booth this year for Pampered Chef. I'm going to be a busy beaver Saturday!

I'll post pictures if I remember to take them.

Tonight Eric and I are picking up the "new" car. YEA!

In baby news...
Megan's been moving a lot more lately. And my belly is a full blown baby belly! Sure, I'm still fat, but there's definitely baby belly going on!

Eric talks to her a lot. I've started to recently. It's hard for me for some reason, but I'm trying. One thing I can handle is singing. I sing in the car so she can get used to my voice. I realized recently that I don't talk much during the work day, so I figure I need to get it in where I can so she can hear me.

Her room is coming along... slowly. We're working on painting, cutting and hanging the paneling over the next week or so. Then it's time to start moving in furniture and decorating!

My shower is in just a few weeks.

I can't believe how fast all of it is going!!!


WHAT'S BABY HOLM UP TO?
Week 28 - 84 days left

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
