Another Week Coming To A Close

As week 36 draws to a close, I've been anxiously waiting to see how my little pumpkin is doing.  My ultrasound went well today.  He napped during most of it, but gave a couple kicks to let us know he did not appreciate us crowding "his space." The ultrasound tech estimated his weight around 5 pounds, 9 ounces.  He's still pretty small, but then again I'm not that big myself.  Most babies average around 6 pounds by week 36.  My doctor told me he's the tortoise in the race...growing slowly but steadily.  She reminded me that the tortoise did win the race.... its funny how a children's fable can make a worried mom-to-be feel better.

Mother's Day

Ryan and I celebrated Mother's Day with the pups and a pretty tasty dinner.  He grilled steaks & I made coconut shrimp....Yummo! We didn't accomplish very much this weekend, but it was nice to just relax.  We still need to finish the large garden before the baby arrives... that's just one of the many items left on my to-do-list.  Ryan surprised me & took me over to Lowe's to pick out my Mother's Day present, which I LOVE! He bought me a ceramic turtle for our tomato garden, sooo cute!  He told me it was from the baby & all the pups, but I gave him credit too  :)  I told my mother-in-law Ryan bought me a turtle and she thought it was alive... guess I should've clarified that it was ceramic.  It was pretty funny! Can you imagine us with three dogs, one pet turtle, and a soon-to-be baby boy? No thanks... I'm good in the pet department!
