month 7-8

doggie update

maddie has still been eating good but wouldnt drink water although she would chew on ice cubes. she has also been really lethargic still-maybe from all the meds and especially tramadol (pain killer). her poor joints hurt her so bad she barely gets up and down and off the porch. they confirmed she does have lyme disease. so yesterday we started a 3rd antibiotic. now she takes 7 1/2 pills in the morning and 6 1/2 at night.... crazy! so this morning i got up she didnt seem interested in getting up but then after she ate she jumped off the porch to get her ball and brought it back to me :) so she is feeling better.

now for bama. he is just a baby. he was just depressed she was gone. he is eating a few bites of food if we arent watching. but if he sees us around he wont eat. i figure when he gets hungry enough he will eat. at least he is drinking water.

so im hoping things are looking up in the doggie department. hopefully after the weekend things will be mostly back to normal.

and by the way... im 32 weeks this weekend!!!! i cant believe it! the end is going by kinda fast! for the most part (besides the beginning scariness) i am loving pregnancy! im so thankful to get to experience it so not too many complaints from me :) okay ill try to post my belly pics now. xo

updates

sorry I have been slacking on blogging lately. so last week we had an u/s to see how hazel is growing. they give you a large range of 'normal'- 10 to 90th percentile. well hazel falls in the 14th percentile. so normal but still on the small side. so they did different tests and there are no issues with the amount of fluid, blood flow, and she looks healthy. but they kinda seemed concerned so now I have to go back every 3 weeks to make sure she doesn't fall more behind. when i talked to the nurse yesterday she mentioned something about possibly being induced up to 3 weeks early just b/c some babies grow better outside the womb. im just praying everything is fine with her. her parents are small, so im sure she is just small.

so i was kinda emotional that afternoon. tysons mom flew in and stayed with us that night. we went for a walk on the morning of my shower and went and got our nails done. it was a relaxing day. and a beautiful shower! the girls did so great with everything and everyone who came was so generous! i think we have everything we need... now i just need to some how organize all this stuff!

the next morning my friend and i noticed that my dog had been acting very mellow which is so unusual for her. tyson said part of his sandal was chewed off. so we thought she had a blockage but we waited it out. by that night and the next morning we couldnt get her to move, eat, drink, raise her head, or anything. it was sad. the dr told us to take her to the doggie hospital the next day b/c she needed more care then they could give her. she had to stay there until last night. after getting her fever down and rehydrating her she was able to pass whatever was hurting her belly. but they think she has lyme disease (we should know for sure by tomorrow) so she is still lethargic and has a hard time walking (lyme's affects their joints too). she is starting to eat little amounts of food and will eat ice cubes. and our boy dog got depressed and hasnt ate or drank in 3 days. he started eating ice cubes too but is refusing food still. damn dogs stress me out :) but you gotta love them!

so please say prayers for little hazel and for maddie and bama too. momma needs a good night's sleep very soon! xo

GIRL!! We had our gender reveal shower yesterday to tell all our family and friends we are having a little baby girl! Her name will be Hazel Rose. We are so excited!! xo I will post some shower pics and monthly belly pics soon.

concerned :/

so im 29 weeks this weekend.... i had an appt yesterday. everything was good but this whole pregnancy i have been measuring about 4 cm (sometimes more when the students do it) behind on my fundal measurement (its like measuring tape on your belly). anything more than 2 cm off is concerning. she didnt act too concerned but we are doing an u/s in 2 weeks to make sure everything is okay with the baby. i was fine yesterday but today kinda concerned. im sure its fine b/c im a small person but im still worried. i dont want anything to be wrong with bullet or not have enough fluid. even though things could be just fine, please say a little prayer for us. thank you.
