It's called Getting it Done!

Oh yes. Feelings of victory surround me. I have been doing a pretty darn good job of knocking things off my list. I'm still not nesting...don't care about the dirty baseboards, cleaning out the cabinets, and I'm pretty sure that Adam was the one to point out that our refrigerator needed to be cleaned...then he proceeded to clean it himself....maybe HE is nesting...is that possible? Ha ha!

So, here is the list o' victory thus far:

1) Made birthing plans (yes, you read that right, plans is plural). One for the hospital, just in case, and one for here at home. Although I'm pretty sure that my midwife & doula will do a rockin' job of doing what I ask..

2) I completed the crib skirt border! I'm a terrible sewer (spelling?), but it was pretty fool-proof.

3) Made my condensed version of baby-wise through the first month. :) It's about 3 pages long full of quick pointers to help me out.

4) Took my last set of maternity photos! Thanks Jennifer. You are awesome.

Here are some pictures to prove that they are Done!

These aren't in order (After)
Before (and I'd like to thank Steve & Sophie for being my reluctant models!)

This is the park where we took our photos..isn't the fountain awesome?! And we took these with our camera by the way...note the unprofessionalism :)

9 months pregnant, and still loving it! (Did you notice the beard??Not mine, silly...Adams!)

And lastly, the computer stuff.

Thanks for keeping me accountable everyone :-)

Love, Krystle

Revenge of the Dogs

Every so often, it seems like Steve & Sophie like to get back at us for leaving them in the bathroom all day. Today was one of those days. When I open the door, they both have the look of pure excitement on their faces...it's like they knew what they were doing. I thought I'd let you in on the secret life of our dogs when we leave the house....

This is how you know they were up to something...
The Damage
The Culprits: Steve & Soph

It always gives me a good laugh though :) ....and one more thing...don't judge me because my bathroom is so messy...I don't always live like this.

Love,

The Pains of Pet Owners

Remember these two? Cute, white, fluffy, lovey, fun....well, that's what they WERE! A few weeks ago Sophie started her 3rd heat. The first few weeks are fine; Steve notices her a little more, Sophie goes around the house humping Steve while he growls at her, and they are pretty much normal other than that. I don't know when this happens, but about at about week 3, something happens. It's like Steve's brain kicks in, and he understands what is happening. And he literally starts going CRAZY! Now, keep in mind, my dogs aren't even 2 years old, so they are probably like what, 8 or9 in doggie years?! So, they are VERY new at this stuff. Sophie has it down, but Steve definitely does not. He goes around the house following her every move and acting sooo nervous about everything. If we take him outside he barks at everyone, and can't even stay in one place long enough to pee. In the evening when we are home, Steve follows her around (like I said before), and then he just stands over her. He doesn't hump or anything, he just stands. And he doesn't even do this in the right place. He stands facing her side or her face or something. I feel so bad for her! Adam and I call their room the "Torture Chamber" while we are gone because Steve never leaves her alone! ha ha!

This would all be fine & dandy, but here is the problem. When Adam and I are sleeping, Steve whimpers all night!! He sleeps wherever she is, and looks at her and whines! I am a really light sleeper, so last night I was awake literally the entire night. I don't know why he whimpers, ... my theory is that he just wants to do it so bad, and he can't figure it out, so it makes him upset at night! Ha Ha ha! I don't know. And we can't put him in a different room because he would go nuts! He barks like crazy when he can't be with her when she's in heat...AHHH!

I'm sure you are asking now, "Why don't you get her neutered, or get Steve fixed or something?" Great question. Answer: One day they are going to have the cutest puppy ever, and in the meantime we will wait in agony about every 5-6 months or so, so that they can go through this hard time in their marriage. Maybe one day, little Steve will finally figure it out :)
