35 and 35

Wow...I'm 35 weeks today and I have 35 days to go until my due date! Craziness!!

Like I said on Wednesday though, my doctor said best case scenario, I would go into spontaneous labor at 37 weeks...2 weeks from today! I've thought this whole pregnancy that I would deliver early, but I'm not thinking in 2 weeks. We'll see though. This past weekend John said that he thinks Hudson will come in May. I'm thinking early June.

Today John and I are switching cars! I drive a 2 door Honda Accord and he has a 4Runner. So we are making the official switch today and he is going to install the car seat.

And I'm pretty sure our hospital bags will be in there as well. We are ready to go!

And a little story about how John is now officially ready to become a Daddy...

This morning we were rudely woken up by Oliver around 6:00. I tried to ignore the barking (it was easy for John to ignore the barking!) but it kept going and it didn't sound like his normal bark. He is kennel trained so at nights and when we are gone he is in his kennel. He usually doesn't bark in the mornings or at night when we put him away so I had a feeling something was wrong by the sound of his bark.

I went in to check on him and let's just say he had some tummy problems sometime that night and was tired of laying in it. Gross. So I took him outside, threw away the towel that was in there and went and woke John up. He took the kennel outside and hosed it off and lathered it with soap and cleaned it up. Then Oliver got a bath.

Poor guy has been so lethargic all day today and hasn't eaten any of his food. The vet told us to just give him 2 teaspoons of Pepto every 8 hours to help settle his tummy.

It was a nice little step towards getting us ready to be a Mommy and Daddy!

Meet Oliver

Meet Oliver...our new puppy! He is a Shih Tzu, Terrier, Pekingese, Yorkie mix.



We adopted Oliver (his given name was Pablo..ha!) the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We (read: I) have been wanting a dog for so long. John agreed to a dog if it was a Yorkie or something similar. Have you check the prices of Yorkies recently? Yikes!

So we decided to try the local pet adoption places. And I wasn't going to get my hopes up. We had to find the perfect dog for us and John had to love him also or else there was no way it was going to work.

So that Saturday, we went to the first place and the only puppies they had were Australian Shepherds. A little too big for us. So without even seeing them, we left and went down the street to the other place. They took us to the small dog area and we saw "Pablo" in the 3rd cage. We knew immediately we wanted to take him out and see what he was like.

And that was it. We were in a little room with him and he was so excited and loving and we were done. John said the magic words, "We'll take him!"

So we filled out all of the paperwork, got a few instructions and we were on our way. After a stop at Petsmart and Sonic (where he was named) we went home with our new pup.

He is perfect for us and I have to say John LOVES him. He will daily say, "I can't believe I'm becoming a dog person!" He loves Oliver and it's so fun to watch them.



He loves his gingerbread man...


And even though I say he is the perfect dog...he does get into a little trouble sometimes...


I got this text from John once I was at work one day...we had been trying to teach Oliver to play tug with this toy rope he has. Well, he played tug on the lamp cord...


We love our new dog and have been having so much fun with him. He even has his own personalized stocking and we got a few things for him for Christmas yesterday.

Oh, the coolest part...he was born around the time I got pregnant...so he's 14 weeks!
