Growing Like Weeds

On Wednesday we went to our specialist in Austin. The more they move, the more confident I am...so this was even more reassuring. He said they are measuring ahead of schedule and they weigh 1.5, 1.5 and our fat little girl is 1.6. She is still the bossy one taking up most of the room and totally spread out. The little boys are behaving a positioned so perfectly and of course she is sprawled out across one of the boys and has her arms resting on her head as if we are all putting her out.

Whit's poker buddies got together and loaded his truck bed with diapers! I couldn't believe it when he told me! People randomly drop pkgs of diapers off on our porch and I am so blown away by the amazing support of friends, family and neighbors.

This week has been hectic at the Shepherd house. Construction started last week and so has the walking of all five dogs on a leash. Cooper has decided that he is part pit and thinks he should aggressively hop towards the workers as I am trying to walk him on the leash. This looks completely ridiculous and is hard to manage. The other four dogs think it's time to play...."oh, so when we are on the leash, we play and act like idiots and then once back inside, that's when we pee???"  It's been hard, but we are managing and the construction is moving so quickly that I think we will survive......Lol this may change once they finish the concrete and frame work and actually take down the wall inside to add on....I will then officially be moved to Mema Pat's and the dogs...well they may go too. I have this fear that even though they are in the dog room- that someone will accidentally let them out. I could not promise my actions if that happened.

Tomorrow we leave for a friends wedding near Austin. This might be my last road trip ;) I am hopeful to get a girls night away in before bed rest but time is running out. It's weird, I don't feel like I can't go on, I actually feel really good....I just feel totally wiped out by 2pm. It's strange how fast this has happened. One day I was totally fine, the next I needed help from Whit just to put lotion on my legs! Lol, my take charge personality is not a mix with being prego. Whit keeps saying we are going to make it to 36 weeks LOL omg, I cannot imagine! Funny thing....exactly 36 weeks is our anniversary :)

I hope to upload some more ultrasound pics and some construction pics soon. Can I blog and upload pics from my phone? I have an iphone and when I send the pics to my computer it's a hassle to convert and upload.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Oh, the blog will be getting a face lift in the next week or two :)
