That night I decided I needed a change of pace. After much consideration I told Charlotte to cut a lot of my hair off, and she did. Six inches came off! I love it! She also highlighted it a bunch (that happened during nap time on Friday) and the style is oh, so adorable, in my opinion. It it very easy to blow dry and doesn't take 45 minutes like before.
Friday, Max had his nine month well baby visit. Nine months! I can't believe he is that old! He weighed in at 19 lbs. 1 oz (25th percentile) and 29 inches (I believe the new nurse was way off on the height measurement as he was this tall one month ago. I have not remeasured him, but plan to). It was a relief to have Charlotte around because, for the first time since I have been going to this pediatrician, they were running way behind. It was so helpful to have someone there to help wrangle the children. Max is healthy and well. He did have a change in acid reflux medicine due to his continuation of spitting up, but other than that he is wonderful.
Friday evening we left the children with Charlotte and headed out for a romantic dinner for two! It was what we needed. We went our favorite little Mexican restaurant and it was heaven to take our time enjoying our food! Our initial plan after dinner was to catch a movie but we were running a bit late and wouldn't make the movie. We decided instead to head to the store and pick up some odds and ends we needed. Exciting isn't it? To a childless couple this is just sad, but to us it was very nice to hold hands and slowly make our way through the store, not having to worry about getting out before any meltdowns occur.
Saturday we took advantage of the wonderfully cool, sunny weather and headed to the Toledo Zoo. It was a really nice trip, although a bit cramped for Charlotte on the ride to and from due to our small vehicle! We ate lunch there and spent about three hours wandering around enjoying the animals.
The above duck was told by Noelle, "Don't you shake your booty!" because of the way he waddled...he than tried to eat her feet and she was not thrilled about it!
Sunday, Aunt Ceecee departed. Tom then came down with some type of flu bug. He was confined to the bedroom and not doing well. We have been together for five years and I have never seen him that sick! Poor guy! I had a very very mild case of the same thing, thankfully. He stayed home from work on Monday, feeling a little better, but not that well.
Tuesday, toady, Tom decided he was feeling a lot better and off to work he went. I had a doctor's appointment today as well. Because I'm considered a, "high risk pregnancy" I get to have an ultrasound done every visit. Today the doctor asked if I was interested in finding out the sex of the baby. She looked and is about 65% sure we are having a GIRL!!! I was, and am, shocked since I thought I'm carrying a boy. The baby was moving a lot and she kept seeing something that may indicate a boy, but she gave me the answer of 65% for identifying the sex. I go back on November 5th and the baby will be bigger and it will be easier to see. I was just amazed at how much the baby has grown since 10 weeks. She (or still possibly, he) looked like a baby and not a little bean. I was able to see her/his little fingers opening and closing into fists, little legs bending and straightening and even the baby flipping around, it was incredible! I think I will consider the many ultrasounds a blessing because it will be amazing to see the baby grow.

I'm jealous you did the zoo again. We really wanted to make it there, but the one weekend we thought about going was less than 1week after Andy's parents had already taken Olivia there. I managed to take her to the Fort Wayne Zoo about 2 weeks ago, but it's not as good as Toledo's.
