In Loving Memory...

Today I lost a dear friend of mine. No it's not the average type of friend, but still a loyal friend nonetheless. My wonderful dog and companion Chloe had to be put down today. I noticed last night that she had chewed all of her fur off her hip and that she wouldn't get up. So, I had my husband check on her and he said he didn't think she would make it through the night. She was really mopey and wouldn't eat. She looked fine Monday to me. Needless to say, when he got home today she wasn't responsive and just laid there. The spot on her hip worse than before. He rushed her to the vet and was told that she had gone into Catastrophic Kidney Failure. Even if they flushed her veins and pumped her kidneys she only had a 30% chance to make it. It just sucks cause she was part of the family. I have had her for close to 6 years and she was my baby. I will always remember her and she will always have a special part of my heart. Sorry if this sounds stupid to anyone but she was part of the family and it's like losing someone that you have taken care of and cared for. SO, I wanted to give her a memorial on my blog and just vent and cry and let it all out. Sorry the post is a downer, but I had to write about her. I had to give her a place in my blog all her own.

So in Memory of my dear Chloe: Gone but will never be forgotten. November 2001-May 2007

Oh boy.......or girl???!!!?

So, I was feeling under the weather last Wednesday through Friday and had to leave work early those days. It was weird cause I had the symptoms of a stomach virus but instead of being pale while feeling nauseous I was flushed and i mean bright red flushed. It dawned on me Thursday night that I was flushed when nauseous when I was pregnant with Nathan but surely this wasn't pregnancy...or was it? Me and the hubby have been trying for some time now but I never thought it would happen this quickly after pouring my heart out to the doctor that something might be wrong. So on my instincts I picked up a test at the local store and rushed home to take it Thursday night. No bells, or whistles or neon signs to alert me to what was going on..just a faint little plus sign!!!!!! Okay so I though but what if it is just a false positive. I went to the doctor yesterday and did a test there and she came back in the room carrying 3 packs of vitamins! I AM PREGNANT!!!! :) Only about 4 weeks and the only reason I know this soon is because of the sick issue last week and having a hunch. So anyway, i will probably be due around the end of January. I will have to post more later. I am super exhausted and just wanted to let everyone that reads this know!
