Dentist, Dewberry Farm, and Doctor's visit

Last Friday the girls had dentist appointments. It was Ally's first time to see a dentist and I wasn't sure how she was going to react. Emily did awesome. She let the dentist chip away at a bunch of tarter and she let them take X-rays without any problems. I was so proud of her! Ally on the other hand wouldn't even step on the scale to get weighed. The dentist had a really hands-off approach when it comes to younger kids. She didn't want to pressure Ally into doing anything that would scar her for life. She did have me hold Ally down to make sure she didn't have any cavities and to try and get some of the iron build-up off of her teeth. Both girls are cavity free!!
Saturday we set out to Dewberry Farm. The girls had a great time doing all of the different events including a corn maze, hayride, pumpkin patch, corn train, rope swings, and more. Here are some of the highlights of the day.

Emily got to feed some goats.

Today I had another doctors visit. I had to take the glucose test to test for gestational diabetes. I am not sure when I will find out the results but if it comes back with anything negative, I will have to go back for a three hour test. I haven't had any problems with gestational diabetes with my other pregnancy, so I am hoping for a good outcome! Also I have gotten 3 migraines in the last week and all of my migraines start out with extremely blurry vision. I told my doctor about it and she recommended I see a neurologist. It just so happens there is one right down the hallway from my doctor so I went and scheduled an appointment for next Monday. I have been getting migraines since I was a freshman in high school but usually I only get 1-3 a year, if any. When I am pregnant I seem to get them more frequently though. Yesterdays marked my fourth one in the last 5 months. I am not sure what the neurologist will be able to do right now with me being pregnant, but I hoping they may be able to narrow down what triggers them for me.
