36.3 Weeks!

We're getting closer! According to the doctor, this little guy already weights 7-7.5 pounds. Yikes!

Poor Henry

Which one of you shot my paw?
Warning: no vizslas were hurt in the making of these photos. Henry licked his paw raw so the vet wrapped it to prevent further problems.

Henry was not happy about it.

34 Weeks down, 6 to go

Surprise!

We have met some great people since moving to Oklahoma. Want some proof? Last night was like any other night at our house, with the exception that Tom and I were going to meet our friends James and Amy for cupcakes. (Which as an 8 month pregnant lady, I was very excited about.) Tom texted to say that he and James were going to the golf course and they would meet Amy and I at the cupcake shop. Not unusual. So I change out of my work clothes, and thankfully, into something somewhat presentable and head out the door. I get to Amy's house, ring the doorbell and...nothing. Hmmm, their dog wasn't barking, did I get the time wrong? Nope! Surprise! Amy had gathered together some kindred souls (aka other residents wives) to throw me a surprise baby shower!

It was absolutely wonderful! They had food, flowers, gifts, and cake. Amy had made and decorated a cake for me to take home a share with Tom.

The girls very generously gave me all kinds of baby essentials. Swaddleing blankets, rattles, teething toys, bibs, diapers, bottle brushes, baby wash and many other bathing necessities.

Needless to say I am very grateful for the wonderful friends we've made so far.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have posted photos of the cake and now I must eat some.

A bird on my brother-in-laws car!

Discovery

I made a very shocking discovery this week. Oklahoma has scorpions. Apparently I am the only one who didn't know this. I feel I was much better off not knowing because now I have to add scorpions to the list of creepy crawlies I am scared of.
This lovely fellow was in the breakroom at work. And while I feel that any scorpion is too big, this one was a "baby" according to the branch manager.

Strange

It's 103 degrees outside. Where do you think my dog is?

That's right, laying in full sunlight in the middle of the backyard. Strange!
