Counting down to D-day

The countdown is on! Only 19 more days until our baby girl is due.

Here is a cheesy peek of her this week. Full term.

I'm feeling pretty good. Minus the fact that the only thing I ever want to wear are my sweats. I think I've got the next 19 days in the bag! She can make her debut anytime, and I let her know that everyday.

Really though, all I'm hoping for is that she's as good to me as Kael was and that she comes on her due date.

Oh, one more thing. The closer I get the more I find myself thinking about Kael's birth and how I was able to handle everything. I finally broke down and typed up the whole incredible experience. If you're interested in reading it go here. I'm praying that things take the same route so I know what to expect. Not likely though since I hear that just like every pregnancy, every labor is different.

And yes we are having another water birth in the comfort of our own home. And no I'm not crazy. Do a little research before you judge.

A sad start to the new year

I had to post this, because I think that our dear sweet Alice deserves it. And the tears are streaming down my face as I type. Who would have thought that losing a pet would be so hard.
It's been 3 days and I still cannot hold back the tears when I let myself think of her absence.
In her excitement to accompany Dustin to feed cows, Alice ran out in front of his truck. . Dustin hit the brakes, but could feel the truck skidding down the road with Alice's paw caught underneath. Her front leg was so mangled that there was nothing we could have done, but put her to rest.
But silly me, I know that resting is the last thing that that girl is doing.
Up there in Doggy Heaven.

Dopey, we miss you more than you know!
