Gardening and more

As Keira is showing you, we picked the first strawberry out of our garden today. She was really excited about it and none too pleased when she couldn't pick ALL of them. Only two were ripe. The strawberry was super sweet - reminded me exactly of my grandparents garden. The rest of the garden is going ok. I don't think the cantaloupe and watermelon are going to make it though - the leaves have some serious issues. Everything else looks pretty good. Onions and carrots are a bit shaky, but we'll see how they do.



Had a 15 week appt. this week. No ultrasound, just heart rate, pee in the cup, etc. Everything sounded good. Baby was super active and heart rate was in the 140s. If doc had to guess, she would guess boy, but we'll see. Next appointment is June 5th - which is the big ultrasound, I'll be 18 weeks then, that is the appointment we've been holding our breath about since we got pregnant.



Weather had been kinda loony. Hot and humid one day, high of 65 and beautiful the next. At the moment it looks like we are going to have the thunderstorm from H E double hockey sticks. Which is not good as I prepared shish-ka-bobs to grill for dinner tonight. Hmm, wonder if they can be broiled.



We are getting ready for our trip on tuesday. I think everyone in the house is excited. We'll be hitting Disneyland on Wednesday. I made Keira an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbiti Boutique. This is a little salon where Keira will get to chose what princess she wants to be and then they will do her hair, make-up, nails, put her in a costume (that she gets to keep) with shoes, a wand, etc. I will freely admit that it is obscenely expensive, but I think it will be tons of fun for Keira, especially b/c she is totally into the princesses right now. Thursday, Wade and are leaving K with M&M and going to Las Vegas for a few days. Will be staying at the Flamingo - they have the best pool area, which is what I am most looking forward to. We are going to see a show while we are there too - One of the Cirque de Soleil ones - probably O as I haven't seen that one yet.


Guess that is all I've got. No big plans for the weekend - get packed and get the house and yard in order. Fun stuff. Have a good weekend!
