Boy or Girl?



Take the poll! Will baby P be a boy or girl?


Many people just don't understand why we aren't finding out the sex of our baby. And Mr. Price and I can't figure out what the big rush is. I love surprises too much to find out.

Supposedly the heart rate of the baby and the way the mother carries the baby are indicators of what the sex will be. Our baby's heart rate has consistently been 150.

You can see in the picture above how I am carrying the baby at 30 weeks. Is it high or low? I don't know.

Our Mimi even convinced me of doing the Ring Test. The Ring Test is an old wives' tale that involves holding a wedding ring or a needle from a piece of string over the mom's belly. If it swings in a circular motion its a girl, a pendulum motion its a boy. According to this test we are having a boy!

Please let us know your guess by taking the poll that is featured at the top of the right menu of our blog. In just about 10 weeks we'll let you know if the poll results are correct!

Fall Leaves




It's the middle of November and the peak season for the vibrant fall foliage has come and gone. It's interesting to watch the process of the leaves changing colors. In just two weeks, a tree's leaves can change colors and then subsequently all fall off, leaving a bare tree. From what I've noticed, the leaves at the top of the tree change first and then the color makes it way down. By the time the leaves near the bottom of the tree start turning, the leaves at the top are falling off the tree.

Each tree is different. Some change colors earlier in the season and some later. So even though it's not peak season, there are still many vibrant colors to see. Most of the time pictures don't do the beauty justice. I only snapped a few pictures of trees behind our apartment to give you an idea of the beautiful scenery we've been able to view. Soon the trees behind our apartment will lose all their leaves leaving us another great view of the mountains.
