Dog Training….Unraveled

Poo stories

So Q had her first official “blow out” today. OH…MY…GOD…..
I have never seen anything like it. She didn’t poop yesterday, and was awake all morning, I am so so so very tired, she finally went down around 12:30, and I passed out too. She woke up around 3, and I fed her, and then laid [...]

Up for Air

So yesterday my baby’s umbilical cord fell off. Not thinking, I laid it on the wipee box to show to Josh when he came home. Gross, but you never know. OF COURSE, when he got home it was gone – I can only assume that some cat stole it, played with it, perhaps ate it? [...]

So tired….

But happy. Q is home and life is good. We are getting the hang of it, and I can see now why you should just not plan anything for the first few weeks – not even showers. Care for baby, then sleep, then maybe eat if you’re feeling fancy, and then, if baby sleeps, maybe [...]

The Princess Arrives

Well, we did it. Finally. My girl took her sweet time getting here, nine days overdue – needed to be induced and even then ended up entering the world via a c-section. But it is done, she is here, we are safe and recovering. We are writing from the hospital and are anxious to get [...]

Personal Victory

Today is our baby’s due date. I am approximately 487 weeks pregnant now and I think I will be pregnant for probably another 236 weeks. BUT, I can still shave my own legs – that is all.

Marking time

37 weeks today, officially full term. Baby is settled in nicely and not coming out for the foreseeable future. *Sigh* So, now, we wait. It’s a bit unsettling to be fully on someone else’s schedule. Someone you can’t call and say “Hey, could you make it the 25th? Cause I’ve got the day free.”
On a [...]

35 Weeks

Today. Only 5 weeks left, give or take, before the newest member of our family enters the world. Terrified? Yup. Excited? Maybe. Wondering what in the world I am going to DO with this baby? You betcha.
I think that my life will never be the same. Not sure if that’s good or bad. I worry [...]

Driving dogs

My best friend has been my best friend since high school. Oddly, she does not, and never has, owned dogs. Even still, we bonded early on over cup-o-noodles from the biology room, and as she struggled to understand my fascination and relationships with all four legged creatures, I worked hard to understand her fascination [...]

Belly button woes

My poor, sad, overworked, under appreciated belly button is finally giving up the battle. After months of being stretched, prodded, and kicked to pieces from the inside, it is now nearly flat and on the verge of becoming an “outie.” One of my few measly requests of the pregnancy goddesses was to please leave my [...]

June

Hmmm, somehow I managed to completely lose June. Somehow it slipped by without me even noticing. I can’t tell you what I did really, except I’m pretty sure I walked a lot of dogs and cleaned up a lot of poop. Yippee. Already the 4th has come and gone, hope you all had a lovely [...]
