The Dogs

They are the center of our lives... their world is going to be rocked in 9 months. Jazzie and Rags "know" something is up. They are both super attached and protective of me right now. They have always been my dogs, but the past couple weeks they have been even more my dogs. That first week that I knew, Jazzie refused to move off the bed. She had to sleep right next to me all night. Talk about uncomfortable! I have convinced her that it is ok to sleep on the futon at the foot of the bed or on the dog pillow next to me. Every now and then she still ends up on top of me. Rags must also sleep touching me - whether it be in bed or on the sofa. A couple of weeks ago, we had some friends come up. They had a 3 month old baby. Rags was fascinated by him. She sat and watched and would just cock her head every time he would move. Boomer licked his head. Jazzie just sniffed and was done. Pre and Sable really didn't care. He didn't cry at all, so I couldn't see their response to that. We are going to fence in our backyard this spring, so hopefully that will help. I'm hoping the dogs will be able to wear themselves out and not be so demanding of attention.

I wore maternity pants today. They were quite comfy - but I definitely realized that I don't quite need them yet. I think I'll leave my maternity clothes on the hangers for a little longer. I am just bummed that so much of my pregnancy will be during the summer, so I won't even have reason to wear them very often - I got all school clothes.

I am absolutely exhausted this afternoon. And STARVING! Chicken parmesan for dinner tonight... YUM!

7 days until my 1st appt.
