just got back from family vacation number one and luckily for every who attended, i didnt kill anyone. though i do kind of want to punch myself in the face because after a week of not touching a laptop, my hands have forgotten how to not touch the touch pad, so typing has been difficult to do efficiently.

on the pregnany front, im still pretty tired, my boobs are still super sensitive, and my little bump is finally starting to grow a bit. while on vacation my mom started to notice the belly while i was wearing a tight white tank top, and made my dad take a picture. so i guess that was my first official bump picture, which of course i don't have access to right now, but that kind of gave me the feeling that i had a green light to go ahead and take one for myself, and post it here. so ill work on that soon.

vacation with my family was wonderful, my cousins wedding was wonderful, and in other wonderful news, disa is beginning to make a great recovery. the doctor finally gave her the DOCP shot we had been reading so much about online, and that seems to have been the thing to begin making a difference. i was kind of frustrated that he didnt just give it to her right away when we figured out it was addison's, because for the following days disa really struggled with staying hydrated. she required 3 days in a row of subcutaneous  fluids and to be honest she like shit and it was scary. not to mention how much it sucked to have to leave the dog with family while she was doing shitty. i felt like a parent abandoning my sick baby and passing her off. we got through it, and lovedove's mom was our savior through the wedding night and the 5 days we went away. luckily for us we came back to a much healthier looking dog, and shes acting like a puppy again. we are hoping the puppiness gets dialed back as they (over time) test her and use trial and error enough to find the losest possible dose of prednisone daily, as we think that is whats giving her this newfound rambunctiousness. dont get me wrong, its wonderful to see her happy and healthy and mischievous again, because thats who she is, but im hoping she calms down a bit before baby #2 makes their entrance.

speaking of baby #2, we might get to find out baby's gender on monday. sonogram scheduled for monday morning and i cant wait to get there. hoping to see that baby is doing great and still jumping around, and it would be an added bonus to find out baby's gender. so glad we have nothing scheduled this weekend because we're worn out from vacation, and we leave for our cali vacation on the 14th. holy moly this is going to be a busy busy month, and before i know it, we'll be in september and we'll be starting mommy and me class and going back to the school year schedule. time is really starting to fly, its crazy.

will post tiny bump pic numero uno soon, congrats to the ladies at Opening the Door on the birth of their baby girl! hoping all of the prego ladies are feeling good. will check back in soon.
