Where's Peanut?????

Well, here we are at week 38- and still NO "Peanut"....... At our week 37 appointment they measured him and said at that point he was about 7 lbs 2oz. and I was measuring 2 weeks further along then what we actually were. During that week, I was feeling some pretty good contractions (although not consist at all) I was sooo sure we would have a baby at anytime that week. We decided that Sunday 2/21 would be my last day of work, in preparation for the big day. Only to find out at our week 38 appointment, that I've had no changes, so Peanut is apparently hanging on until the very end..... We've got some bets going out there now, Greg's brother is saying March 10th, my brother said March 17th. ( and I laughed at that, but now I'm wondering could they be close)
This past weekend, we had Greg's Mom and Grandma in town from Chicago. It sure was great to spend some time with them. We were their third and final stop along their cross country venture. So we kept things pretty laid back and relaxing for them. Grandma's great great granddaughter, and her great great great granddaughter came down from Dallas and spent Saturday hanging out with us. Then on Sunday a old friend of Rose's meet everyone for lunch here in San Antonio. We were sad to see them go, but we know they will be back soon to meet Peanut.
This is Grandma and me

All four of us- what would we do without camera timers and tri-pods.........

Yicks..... this is me at 38 weeks and 1 day..... ( who's counting)

This is Peanut's crib and comforter. His room is finally finished !!!!!!! Go figure, we worked like crazy 2 weekend's ago, to finish his room.... only to have this little monkey hanging on until the end !!!! sure hope this is not a sign of how stubborn he's going to be ????

He's crib ( and our bags for the hospital) WE'RE READY !!!!!!! We finally got the walls painted last week, I'm still trying to decide if his room really looks like a little boys room or not. At times, I wonder..... but it still looks great and we are excited to share it with him. At times we find one or both dogs laying in the middle of his room. I think they have any idea, but are still trying to figure things out. It's going to be a true test for Shelby, as she did not do well with the company we had this past weekend. She found herself in our room for 2 days. We think she will be fine with Peanut, it's everyone else we worry about. ( have no fear- she will be the proud owner of a muzzle and or shock collar before the next round of visitors arrive)

Wall- De-Cals that I still need to finish up with. This picture really makes the walls look Red, but it's actually a dark maroon color.

We'll be updating weekly- until the Big Day...... keep your fingers crossed that it comes sooner than later.
Hugs,
Tina, Greg and Peanut

PS- we actually saw snow yesterday here in San Antonio.... of course it didn't stick, but we had some huge white fluffy snow flakes falling for about 45 minutes... And I've discovered that our Texas born dogs are "sissy's" it was about 35 degree's for the high- and neither one would go outside. REALLY- what are they going to do when and if we ever get the chance to move back north. I guess liter box training might be in their future...... :)
