Well, I think the full moon recently has brought out the babies! Three, yes, three, of our friends have given birth in the last week or so! Amazing. Three little boys. Its been crazy cool to hear the birth stories, see the first pictures, and even one video. Beautiful little ones, with teeny tiny toes and round little bellies. I am, of course, so happy for everyone, and a little jealous at the same time. Nothing new there. I just can't wait until we get to have our own. Patience has never been my strong suit. hehe Its just so cool to see all the brand new babies. They are all so perfect... truely little bundles of joy.
On that note, I think we may be waiting just a little bit longer. We have a trip coming up in October, and we arent yet sure that we want to be in the first stages of pregnancy on the vacation. (Morning sickness, tiredness, stress and such) So we may be waiting until November to try our first go. Still not 100% decided on that yet, but its looking possible. Which means if we got preggers our first try, our little one would be born in September of next year. So, almost exactly a year from now, we could be parents! That's both thrilling, and kinda a mind trip too. Wow... in a year we could be mommies. Amazing to think about. To see our child for the first time... oh, it gives me shivers. :)
In the meantime, we are poking around looking at houses (our apt really isnt condusive to another addition, its kinda cramped), and still playing nursemaid to the sick snake. I think we are going to have to make some tough choices pretty soon regarding the snake situation. Though he is eating, the poor guy just doesn't look good, and during one of his injections recently he actually hid his head under his body, trying to get away from me. Ugh. I feel like the worlds biggest jerk every night when I have to go in there and give him his meds. How do you weight the quality of life of something that can't communicate with you? We have both agreed the Todd is our last reptile pet. I just don't think they are meant to be pets anymore. We'll stick with our little dog, and leave it at that.
Oh a positive note, Brandy is doing much better with her back. I am amazed to see her progess today from the start of this whole thing. She's been very good about doing her back exersises everyday, and bending properly and such. Her limp is gone, and her stamina is returning. We are getting more active again, and trying to eat better. We still have spells of bad food, but on the whole we are making decent progess. We havent been to a fast food joint in a really long time, and I am proud of us! Not easy to pass up tasty fried things. lol
Overall, i am very much looking forward to what the next 365 days have in store for us. I think this is going to be a great time in our lives. :)
P.S. A huge thank you to those who have recently had babies, and are kind enough to still keep us all updated! I know you must be tired and busy, and you still have time to think of us out here in babyland. You're awesome!
