33 Weeks

Yes, we are 33 weeks along today. Our baby boy is the size of a pineapple. He weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark. My next appointment with my OB is at 35 weeks. I will then start seeing my OB every 2 weeks, and then every week. It's getting closer and we cannot wait.

Hanging nursery decor is on our to-do list today, along with going shopping for a recliner. We are going to put the recliner in the nursery in place of a glider. (We'll move it to the living room once we're done having babies.) Falling asleep with our babies on our chests sounds so much more restful in a recliner! It's an awful feeling to finally get your baby to sleep only to have them wake up again as soon as you place them in their crib!

On another note, I have taken up a new hobby...grilling! I had never grilled outside before this week, but I decided to venture out. Gabe has vaguely explained to me how to work the grill, but I've been pretty intimidated and a little scared of ruining perfectly good meat to try it out. This week barbecued chicken quarters and veggies sounded good, so I decided to go for it. I even threw some brats on the grill because Gabe loves them so much. I figured if I just started the meat on the grill, Gabe would be home soon enough from work and he could finish it up for me. Well, turns out he didn't get home until all of the food was done except for the chicken. I had him check the meat to see if it was done. It needed a little more cooking time. I grilled again last night, this time with steaks. I thought steaks would be more challenging, but they were actually easier. Didn't take nearly as long to cook as I thought they would. Again, I threw on some brats for good measure! I'm afraid I've created a monster because Gabe may never grill again. ;(

Have a great Saturday!
