Growing Up

Growing Up
I could never fully convey in this blog how proud I am of my daughter. She has been potty training this week and doing so well. I cannot get over how fast she is growing up. It is a little sad, but I can't help but beam. She had given up the pacifier a few months ago, but when school let out, her schedule was interrupted and we gave it back to her. This week has been potty training AND no pacifier. She hasn't asked for her paci and I believe that we won't have to deal with it any longer.

She is an amazing girl, will be an amazing big sister and I know she will be an amazing woman. I look forward to see the girl she grows up to be.

So I suppose an update is in order...

We had Tetsuo put down a few weeks ago. I miss her so much and think of her through out the day. We had her cremated and her urn sits on a high shelf with a statue of an angel hugging a cat next too it. It hurts less & less everyday, but I am still so sad that she got cancer and there was NOTHING I could do for her. I just tried to make her last weeks comfortable and let her know she was truly loved.

So, June 26th came and went and we are having another girl. We are relieved that we don't have to change the room to accomodate a girl and boy. We have so much girl stuff it is rediculous. I have already made nesting lists and have so much on my mind of what we need to do. I think this is keeping my mind off of thinking of Tetsuo too much.

Babies...

We are anxiously awaiting June 26th. That is the day we find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Hell, I am ready to have this kid already. All I do is sleep, pee, eat & fart. I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions all day and its gotten to be pretty damn annoying. Its nothing serious. I just got a little dehydrated.

I haven't been sleeping well so last night I took 2 Tylenol PM and I could barely rise from the dead this morning. I think I will just take one tonight.

My MIL left today after a nice looooong visit. It was great having her here but I like having my house back and the peace and quiet. Evie gets a little whacky when her grandparents are around so its good to have her back in somewhat of a routine.

We are facing a tough decision soon because my cat Tetsuo's cancer, though we had the mass removed from her leg, it has come back rapidly and her health is starting to decline. I think we could make her comfortable until it was time for her to go, but the lumps are rupturing and I don't know how to deal with open wounds especially with a toddler and a baby soon to be here. I don't want to think about this, but I know I have to and its tearing me up. I just held her last night and cried my eyes out. She was my very first cat and has been through some tough shit wit me through the years, but she stood by me no matter what and I don't know what I would do without her.

Remembering when...

I am getting excited about the little things again.

I think the title and the picture say it all. I am due this November and let me tell you... morning sickness is kicking my ass.

Damn the makers of Yo Gabba Gabba! I will have that song in my head all day now.

Things are well. I got a new vehicle which I love. Puddin' has been doing fairly well when it comes to potty training. We had snow this week and not it is 70°F today. I wish it was like this year round. I need to find a place that is that way and move there. Tennessee definitely sucks in the weather department.

So here is a new pic of me. I am proud of the weight I have lost and Husby is really liking it too *wink*
