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.

    He 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.

    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! :)

I can't believe it happened to me!

Sometimes I am in complete awe that we have a baby. I am so in love with River and I feel very fortunate! River is a really good baby; She eats great, sleeps well, smiles tons and is easily comforted when cranky. I am really happy to have her here. On the flip side, I am learning all of the beautiful things I missed out with Zoe. Bath time, reading books, cuddling, smiling, cooing, bites of new foods, so on and so forth...the list could go on forever. I still battle with postpartum depression, but I do feel like I am coming out on the other side. My sad days are fewer apart. I still feel terribly guilty that I battle depression. We have tried so long and so hard for a baby that it seems selfish of me to be sad when we have a perfect baby in our arms. HOWEVER, it's not the kind of thing I can control. I still have a lot of depression related to nursing. It hurts me that it didn't work for me...sigh. But, River is super healthy and growing well and at the end of the day, SHE is t...

Seraching for balance...

Wow...I have been a seriously slacker...again. I write on a private blog for River for family, but I find myself writing on here less and less. This blog helped me heal and grow through my grief...but I also know I am never truly healed. Zoe's loss will always be with me. These days I find myself struggling with balance in my life. I seem to be all over the place. After we lost Zoe I was searching to fill the void in my life. At the time, I thought getting a puppy would help distract my mind...it did. The following year we rescued a second dog. Now here we are with a 9 month old and 2 very high energy dogs. I have an extremely difficult time managing our husky, despite how much I love him. I feel like my priorities shifted in such a huge manner...I don't have the time I once did to attend to his needs. I feel like such a terrible dog owner, but at times I feel like it may be time to find Sawyer a new home. He is such a sweet, loving pup...but his energy level is OFF THE HOOK....
