Yikers, it's been a while for the posts .... uhhhhh, what's up?

Le Chein Bellisima (Belle the dog) is in the hospital again. Again! Why is my husband the cutest in the world? Cuz he called Carla, my MIDWIFE, on Monday to get the name of her vet. And at my appt. yesterday, they talked for 10 minutes about Belle, and the Carla called and got us an emergecny appt. at her vets. Bob dashed off to get the dog and come back for me so we could make a 4:30 pm appt. We had to leave Belle at the emergency clinic overnight because she was dehydrated since it had been coming out of both ends since Saturday (as Bob calls it - ass-i-titus). Bob had to chauffer her from the clinic to the vets this morning and then has to pick her up before he's off to Ozma tonight. Needless to say, the man falls exhausted into bed every night.

During my doctor appt. we did manage to talk about the baby in between discussing Belle's condition and Carla's extension collection of Disney watches. She makes me laugh... We're so lucky to have her. I can't begin to imagine someone spending non-essential time talking to me at our last HMO, let alone taking the time to call for an appointment for my sicky chihuahua. Carla said she told her vet is was for my emotional health that they squeeze us in at the last minute, she rocks! I feel pretty hopeful that her vet can patch Belle and her bottom up and soon!

As for Baby Boy 'Mijo, he's doing kickingly .... it's a bit amusing and quite a bit alarming when it happens. I always think he's kicking right into my stitches (ahhghghgh) but my midwife assures me that there's no way he can do that .... Bend it Like Beckham force or not. Ultrasound was good, all goes well...

I've taken up the crochet. Thanks to Bobby's Aunt Rhonda she taught me the basics via your standard potholder and I've embarked on what I thought was going to be a baby blanket but is almost as wide as my queen size bed. Ummmmm, well, now it's gonna be a full on afghan type thing. Oh criminy, the stitches are ok .... except for the fact that the thing is decidely becoming triangular as my stitches get looser ..... hmmmm. I'll post a pic one of these days.

Been laying low for the last coupla days, eating leftovers (yay for airtight glad plastic), hanging with my honey and not much else. Today's big adventure was putting the clothes into the new dresser that Bob picked up with Paulie (and a side visit to the Arroy's that I just heard about where Bobby was tormenting a sleepy Ava) last weekend from Ikea.

Oh yeah, there's a block sale here this weekend and my friend Pia (one eye) is hosting my sale as a fundraiser for her Hawaii Marathon in Dec. Bob has graciously said he will help, but is wondering how he's got the the busy time 8 - 11 am on Saturday.... Told you he was a good guy.

Thump, thump thump from my uterus .... that's hello to you from the kid ...|||105839247594321080|||A Stitch in Time
