34 weeks...

Sorry for the bad pictures, but that's all I got this week. OK, only 36 days left? What the.... So, it's starting to feel like this is really going to happen. Went to the docs on Tuesday, she said that my blood pressure, weight, uterus size (now acting normal) and the baby's heart rate at 148 was great. So all is well. Starting to feel a lot more contractions already and I'm thinking this is going to be a super fast/slow next few weeks. But I'm not complaining. I'm feeling pretty good and this ache in my back and the waddle I've started walking with is on it's way out. 6 weeks left really seems like you're finally on the downside... yikes. Doug's starting to panic about baby names, and the fact that we really can't pick one... so yes, still no update on that.

Don't worry. Doug's winning. This has been an ongoing battle for a over a month now. This stupid weed is proving quite the pain in the butt to get rid of. We started growing a lawn but apparently we didn't kill the weeds good enough before we planted (lesson #1 learned of many this past few weeks...) because the lovely new little law sprouts got overtaken by these pests. And the only way to get them out is to go deep, deep, deep down and find the nut so it doesn't spread more weeds all over. And in the process, wrecking all your lovely little new grass sprouts.

 

Dig out around it and be verrrrry careful not to break the thin root that holds everything together and leads you to the nut...

and you are finally rewarded with this...

or this...

Don't worry, we're going to win. These suckers don't have a chance with Doug around :)
