Today I am 26 weeks 1 day. Wow. I poked my finger in my belly button today and realized that it's super shallow! :) But it's still there.
I've had a scratchy throat and been really tired the last couple days. I'm afraid I may be coming down with a cold or something. I plan on taking it as easy as possible the rest of this week to hopefully fight it off quickly.
Melissa came over yesterday and brought a bag of maternity clothes and like 5 bags of baby girl stuff! We took some belly pictures of both our bellies together. I haven't uploaded them from my camera yet but when I do, I'll add some here. :) She's 24 weeks.
Last week I noticed our kitten, Mayhem, had a funny looking eye. I went into the vet and they were very concerned about it. They ordered some blood tests and referred us to an ophthalmologist in Portsmouth the same day. He looked and told me that the retinas in both her eyes are almost 100% detached and she has cataracts forming. Translate - she will be totally blind if she isn't already... :( The worse news was that the cause of this could be a mutated virus called FIP that is incurable and deadly.... Her bloodwork came back normal for her blood count, liver and kidney functions. The test for other viruses/diseases came back negative, but showed that she had exposure to the virus that mutates into FIP. I guess that isn't too concerning since it is pretty common and doesn't necessarily mean she has FIP. The vet thinks that if she did have it, some of her other test results would probably have been abnormal. He ordered a test for toxoplasmosis, that we are waiting to hear back about. She is acting perfectly healthy, just having trouble seeing, obviously. I'm nervous and I hope everything will be ok so she can live many more happy years with us! She's just a baby...
Yesterday, I got a great deal on a little Kodak Mini Camcorder - 70% off! I think it will be fun and handy to have for when the Super Bean arrives. :) We still have our nice video camera but it isn't always accessible. This one is so cute and tiny that I can keep it in my pocket or purse all the time!
Ok, that's all for now. My head kinda hurts and I'm wishing we had some ice cream left... guess I'll just relax with this cute kitten on my lap and watch some tv with the hubby... :)

Sounds like you are doing fabulous!You and superbean!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about Mayhem, but I am very glad that you and Brian are the ones who took her home. She's very very lucky to you have you as her human parents. ::Hugs:: Thanks for sharing all that goes on in your life.
