Week 35

I don't usually blog on the happenings of the odd numbered weeks, but, Lord have Mercy, I am reaching that point that everyone has been telling me to "just wait" for. Please don't take this for complaining, because I have been so lucky, and have had and I'm still having a good pregnancy. No swollen feet (yet) I've had no blood pressure problems. I haven't ever felt the baby in my ribs or anything like that (yet). I'm pretty tired in the evenings and don't feel like doing much. Matt has been sleeping on the couch some nights to let me be comfortable and get rest. I really appreciate it. He said when he comes into bed I'm all sprawled out in the middle and Margaux (belly) is on his side:)

Speaking of the belly, sucker has gotten BIG! People over in court keep asking me, "when I'm going to stop working?" and "when is that baby going to get here?". And speaking of work, my court schedule has slowed down considerably and I'm trying to prep everything for when I leave. I've been trying to warn clients that I may need to have someone else cover their case, so hopefully they won't be too surprised if they don't see their attorney.

I slipped and fell in our tiny shower this week. It's so small I didn't think it was possible. But let me assure you it is. I fell hard on my bottom trying to shave my legs. As soon as I figured out what had happened, I grabbed my belly and Margaux was kicking away. I think I scared the poop out of her too. She kicked at me all day that day. But at least I knew she was fine. I'm definitely still sore from it. Especially the leg that ended up above my head. I'm telling you our little stand up shower is really small.

This weekend I plan on doing some prep for baby arrival. Straighten the house up, start packing our hospital bag, and buy a few more necessities after a small family shower on Saturday. I had a baby shower with my friends last week that was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so thoughtful and I was thankful for all the goodies that Margaux, Matt, and I received. It definitely warmed my heart at all the wonderful people Margaux is going to be around. Such loving folks.

Since it isn't a biweekly picture week, I'll post some pictures of the animals. Their days of being the babies are numbered.

I walked into the living room and happened to see this. Someone thought she was super sneeky!

The Sheep girls got a haircut when the weather started getting so hot, so early. Here is all their wool. They behaved pretty well for their first shearing in a year. And we found out that Hannah Montana is still a fan of the halter and liked being back on it. I think I see her being pranced out for children to pet in the near future.

Here the girls are checking out each others new hair do's.

Snickers has decided to set higher goals for herself and reach for the leaves of the walnut trees and not settle for the easy grazing on the ground.

Apparently she has inspired Peppermint to reach for greater things also.
