Shamrock Shake- Finally!

I have never had a Shamrock Shake from McDonalds. Every year, I want to try it but since I never go to McDonalds, I never seem to get one. I think I started talking about trying it a month or so ago and decided I would get one on St. Patrick's Day. Well, I meant to go out in the afternoon to get one but I forgot until about 9:00 pm that night and then I was completely stuffed from dinner. Rob told me they would still have them the next day so I headed over around lunchtime on Thursday, March 18th to get my very first Shamrock Shake. I should have taken a picture of this event but I didn't have a camera with me and I couldn't wait to get it home to take a picture first. I have to say, it was pretty tasty. I like mint flavored things so I enjoyed it. Maybe I'll have another in 32 years but hopefully sooner!

The weather has warmed up this week and Rex and I were able to go on two walks. Now it's snowing today but at least we had some warm weather and we'll get some again next week. Yay for temps in the 60s!



Rex and I actually had a special guest for our first walk- Rob's parents are visiting so Rex was lucky enough to have his Gram join us! Rob and his dad have been busy working on things around the house while Gram and I have been entertaining Rex. Or rather, Rex has been entertaining us. We're all having a great time and Rex and Gram took some time to enjoy the sunny outdoors yesterday afternoon.



I went to one of my doctor appointments yesterday and everything is going along just fine. I have noticed a lot more pain in my hips this time but I think it's from carrying around a 30+ lb child and being 7 months pregnant. Other things seem better this time around, like heartburn and leg cramps, so I guess I won't complain too much about the hip pain. We talked more about inducing me at 39 weeks and it looks like this baby will probably be here on May 19th or 21st. My doctor said we'll figure it out exactly as the time gets closer. Only 61 or 63 more days to go!!
