Funny, mainly because time seems to have been moving SO SLOWLY lately (each day is a part of a giant countdown!) But it has, in fact, been 3 weeks since I last posted! I am now 15 weeks along in this pregnancy and feeling soooooo much better! I have more energy and have been doing a whole lot more. It feels good to feel normal again (well, almost!)
Puddin had her puppies 2 weeks ago yesterday! They opened their eyes yesterday also and only one is still available. I call him the "chunk." Of the 3 pups, he is the only boy and he is a bear in comparison to the other 2. I am already so very attached to these little babies!!!! They're starting to stink up my house a little, but other than that, I really enjoy hearing their little noises and smelling their breath and celebrating their milestones! They are trying to push up their hind legs now and walk instead of pulling their bodies around!! It really is neat. Another positive about the process is that O'Hara and I have both become more attached to Puddin. She has all of a sudden become so special to me! I adore her. I guess seeing her be such a great mama might have helped, but I think mainly that she has never been alone with us and she certainly has not been primarly inside. It makes a big difference. She seems more like a family member than "one of the dogs in the backyard." Poor little Herbie. He has had to be separated from Puddin and the pups and he is lonely, for sure.
Friday night, Guy & Renee got married. It was a really fun wedding in Mt. Pleasant. The weather was poor, but all the rain and wind kind of made the whole evening more romantic...the candles flickered and the sounds were soothing and love was in the air for sure!!
After I left the wedding, I drove -very carefully- to Patricia and Big O's house to spend the night (I had planned on driving back to Cola. after, but the weather prohibited that.) Their house is so great. I cut on the HUGE television, and cooked some soup in the the GIANT kitchen. After that I turned on the bathroom television (that's right) and sat in a BIG bathtub and watched a movie! It was raining hard and thundering and heavenly!!!! While I was in the tub I couldn't stop thinking about my own mama and how she would love this kind of a bathroom! She certainly deserves to relax in a big fabulous tub and watch a CSI or something!! Maybe one day....
Kathy and Al have been in town. We had a nice supper with them and my parents at Ruth's Chris on Sat. night. It was a wonderful time! Sunday, O'Hara joined Eastminster, a church that I have been a member of for over 17 years. I teared up as I watched him stand in front of the church and reaffirm his faith. It really felt good. I was so proud of my man!!! There was a luncheon afterward and we all sat and ate!
After, a family ame by and put a deposit on one of the puppies. I was a little sad about it. I am also sad for Puddin! It will be a hard time for her when all her puppies are gone. We still have 4 more weeks, though! And I'm gonna enjoy them like crazy!
