Vacation Finale


Grandma and Papa asked if they could see Gabby and even allowed us a date night.  Gabby spent the night at their house.  When we woke up Sunday morning Michael and I headed to the Woodlands to see my friend, Genny, and her new house....and pick up a kitty.  Her house was lovely, Michael and I enjoyed a day just the two of us and Gabby was surprised with a new kitty.


We carried the cat into Grandma and Papa's house in a carrier, but instantly Gabby exclaimed a kitty! There was no fooling her for even half a second.  Nanny even Face Timed to see Gabby's reaction.  When we asked her what we should name the kitty she said Sheldon.  When we explained that this was a girl cat and she needed a different name Gabby said she wanted to name her Ila.  I wasn't too sure about where she'd heard that name so we settled on Lila.  A funny story, the next week we were watching The 12 Dancing Princesses, and one of the princesses is named "Ila."


I wasn't too sure about getting another cat, but she is the sweetest most loving cat I've ever met.  I think I like her as much as Gabby!  Welcome to our family Little Lila.

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M

Interesting Fact

Today I went to the doctor for my now bi-weekly appointment. This is only the second time he has gotten out a measuring tape and measured my engorged stomach. My boss was talking about how interesting it is when they measure you...so I asked my doctor about it today and it's true! Whenever you are in your 20 something week and further along until very close to the end of pregnancy the number of centimeters from your pelvic bone to the top of your uterus should approximately be the same as the number of weeks pregnant you are. This week I was 28 centimeters and I am 28 weeks! So Gabrielle is right on schedule.
