36 weeks and a Final Baby Shower!

36 weeks....officially FULL TERM!!! That means that Baby Burton could arrive any time now and be perfectly safe outside of the womb.  What a great feeling! Baby B has also officially graduated to watermelon status! 

I have been feeling some strong movements lately!  My ribs are definitely taking a beating.  I have also been extremely tired!  This week my class is going to the Grout Museum every day from 9:00-2:00 and boy am I tired at the end of the day!!  Three more days before spring break....I know I can make it!! :)

I look really tired.  Long day at the Grout! 

This past weekend I also had my 3rd and final baby shower.  This shower was hosted by my aunts on my mom's side of the family.  Wendy also surprised my mom and I by having one of our foreign exchange students fly in for the weekend!!  What a surprise when they showed up at school on Friday!

The shower was at 10:30am so the food was a breakfast theme.  It was all delicious and I didn't even get to try it all!  I was stuffed!!!  We played a few games, ate, opened gifts, and relaxed.  Everyone also left a piece of advice for me/Tyson.  

Of course we were SHOWERED with gifts again, but at this shower we received our stroller and car seat combo, so now we are OFFICIALLY ready for Baby Burton!!  That was the one item that we were still missing and needed!  

Excited Nana!

After the shower, everyone (aunts, uncles, some cousins) all met at my grandma's house to go through the items in her house.  Everyone picked out items that they wanted.  I took home some fun bar glasses, a few tea cups/saucers, a glass pitcher, a little kid rocking chair, and some more sewing items.  The last items of the night were my grandma's jewelry.  She had some pieces with stories behind them as well as some costume jewelry.  There were also pieces that when I think of my grandma, I think of those items.  I got a silver necklace with pearls hanging from it as well as a ring.  However, this ring has a lot of meaning behind it!  I'm so glad I ended up with it.  This ring is a simple gold band that my grandma wore on her pinkie.  It was originally my grandpa's wedding band, but after he passed my grandma had it resized to wear on her pinkie.  It's a little big for my pinkie, so I have it on a necklace right now.
