Indroducing...
The newest member of our family! We adopted a 6 week old Siberian husky from a local shelter. He will be able to come home in about 2 more weeks. He is so stinkin' sweet! We haven't decided on a name, but we have a few in mind. I am going to try to post a poll.
My appointment at the MFM went well, overall. I will give you details later, I actually need to get ready for work. Ehhh...work.
Congratulations! I am a huge dog lover. My DH and I adopted a chocolate lab from a shelter 3 years ago. Our life revolves around Cassidy. We just love her. I think it will be good for you and your hubby. He will bring you a lot of joy! I voted for Sawyer. :)
I voted Sawyer too! OMG, he is soooooooo freakin' cute Kate! I told myself that we'd never do a puppy again. Our first dog, Sierra--now a huge 100+ lb smushball of love--was a pound puppy. She ate a couch and a bed. (Could be we were't the best trainers of puppies there ever were...we didn't serious about it until we moved with Sierra and her brother to Germany and realized that all of the PERFECTLY behaved dogs there made our dogs look embarassingly like the American hooligans they were...). Ahem. Anyway, I swore after Sierra no more puppies. We adopted Liam from a shelter when he was 1 1/2. BUT ... oh my, your little Sawyer (I'm just going to go ahead and call him Sawyer, 'cause it's SO CUTE and perfect for him!) oh gosh...he's a seriously precious little dude. Can't wait to meet him!!! :) xxoo
PS...I just asked Bruce, "Do you want to see a picture of Kate with Sawyer?" and he said "Are you talking about LOST?" I guess I didn't consider the whole Kate/Sawyer connection. But I still think Sawyer is a great name for your pooch! :)
So...my level today was 108!!! The nurse said that was a perfect, healthy number...not too high, not too low. Chances are good we have one little charm in there. Which is PERFECT. We won't know for sure until our u/s...but I have been thinking it's one...and a boy. I feel really connected to a little boy, and awhile ago, Zoe came to me in a dream and said we were going to get pregnant with one baby, a little boy, and things were going to be fine. :-) Sweet little baby of mine...comforting her momma even in spirit. It's strange to be pregnant right now...It doesn't feel real quite yet. It does, but it doesn't. I feel really secure about this pregnancy...almost at peace. I feel deep in my heart we are going to bring home a living baby. It's will be strange to be a mother of 2, one in spirit and one here on Earth. I love Zoelle so deeply, and miss her with each breath I take. I wish she was here to share in the joy of this new life. At the same time, the new life ...
So I couldn't resist!!! I tried! Yesterday morning I woke up at 4:30 with the urge! The urge to hopefully break our BFN streak and prove to be pregnant. Well, into the bathroom I went, gingerly tip-toeing across the hardwood, attempting to avoid waking up Tim. I slowing opened the home pregnancy test package, praying that what I have been expecting was true. There I was, starring at the test...waiting for the line to arrive (Where else to go during the wee hours of the morning...I was trying not to wake up Tim, or the pups downstairs!). Then it appeared, like a magic trick right before my very own eyes! The faintest of faint pink line. It was so faint, I thought for sure it wasn't real. I bursted back into the bedroom "Tim...Tim...are yo awake?" In reply "Kate, it's 4:30 in the morning, what the heck are you doing up?" "I just took a pregnancy test, there are TWO LINES!" Tim's first reply was "why are you testing already and why at 4:...
Amazing...simply amazing. I am soaking up every moment. I am so thankful for our little girl. So...introducing River Zoelle Mirth 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long!!! Labor was long, hard yet amazingly wonderful. 12 hours of labor and just over 3 hours of pushing (these are the things the docs don't tell you can happen!!!) But we did it!!! Our rainbow is finally here safely in our arms.
He is adorable! I voted Sawyer.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
ADORABLE. I use to have a husky as a kid our family named her Akila. I voted Jack. He could be called Jack-Jack =)
ReplyDeleteHe is super-cute! My boxer is named Jack!! It is a great name. Dogs are the best. My two boys have really gotten me through my rougher days.
