Today we are scheduled to go to the hospital in preparation for the arrival of our baby! 9 months has certainly flown by and we are expecting quite the treat for Halloween this year...the birth of our son!
It hardly seems real but I am sure I won't be saying that once I go into labor! We are so excited to welcome this little boy into our lives and can't wait to meet him face to face. He is already so loved and we look forward to holding him in our arms...soon!

Showers, Earthquakes and Hurricanes!
What a crazy couple of weeks we've had here on the east coast! First we got pummelled with downpours which affected a baby shower that my friend, Emily planned. The entire party was enjoyed in candle light...very memorable. But that only led to a series of major natural disasters.
An earthquake of a 5.8 magnitude struck followed by Hurricane Irene a few days later. With such disasters, we feel so blessed that we along with our family, friends and neighbors were watched over and protected.

Summer Time Blues
In the past two months, both sides of our family have had Summer Vacations but unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy them as we would have liked to.
In June, my side of the fam got together in the Outer Banks for some fun in the sun in an oceanfront beach house for a week...too bad my hubby couldn't go. It was wonderful to see my family and even my good friend Nikki flew in with her son, Cash for the week...but I still missed my TJ. It just wasn't as enjoyable without him.
This month, TJ's side of the fam met up on Fenwick Island in a gorgeous home on the bay...too bad that he had to go alone for 1/2 the week and the other 1/2 was spent worrying and dealing with dog issues. Our poor Lucy woke up very ill the day we were to leave so I ended up staying home with her while TJ met up with his family. The next day was Independence Day and I spent it alone with the dogs. Again, another vacation separated...not fun.
Thankfully Lucy recovered. An exam from the Vet discovered her ailment and she was immediately put on more medicine (just add those to her basket of pills she already gets) to help her get well again. We thought once Lucy was better that we'd finally be able to enjoy the last three days of vacation together...but wouldn't you know it...our devil of a dog, Lola did not want to cooperate with the dog-sitter/house-sitter.
My Mom says that Lola is in her "teenage years" and is just rebelling. I'm in doggie teenage hell! The worst part is that she has no problem listening to TJ...she seems to have a problem with me (and other women). I'd be lying if I didn't admit to some serious thoughts of getting rid of her...as in, giving her to someone else to deal with. My growing baby belly and this pregnancy is not making it easier to deal with a very naughty dog.
So, there you have it. Our Summer...so far. I hope it gets better...soon.
