Nellie update- The recovery process

As of today, it's been 3 weeks 4 days since Nellie's surgery, and believe me, all 3 of us have been counting!  We have still had to carry her up and down the stairs for pottying, while on the leash.  She's been on strict cage-rest, but we've let her lay with us on the floor and couch some too.  On a couple occasions in the past week, she's jumped on the couch, and then we put her in the kennel.  I feel terrible when she does it, but thankfully it hasn't happened much.  The first week she was still pretty calm, but these last two weeks she is like a pent-up energizer bunny.  We have to work hard to get her to walk, not jump up, and to stay quiet.  As I type, though, she is sacked out next to me on the couch.  We can't wait for her re-check appointment when she will be released to normal activity.  I'm betting Zach will be the most excited, as he doesn't like having to take her out on the leash!  Haha! 

Now, for the little lady of the hour month...

My fur is growing back!

Laying on my Bitsy blanket from my Mary Ruth!  (It was her dog, Bitsy's!)

With my Daddy on Father's day!  I got him his Kentucky Hunting License!  He says I'm the BEST!

Feigning pitifulness... not for the weak!

Umm, yes?  Hello, Gwandma?  Nana?  Ya'll need to come rescue me from Mama. She won't stop taking my picture!


Oh my, her Daddy had too much Dairy Queen!


Sitting pretty!  They both look a little irked, though!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Valentine's Weekend

Zach and I seemed to stretch out Valentine's day for the whole weekend! On Friday night we had pizza ordered in (pineapple and mushroom, my FAVORITE, Thanks honey!) Then on Saturday, Zach took me to downtown Henderson to Memories, a little antique shop, and bought me a McGuffey reader to add to my collection! After that, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Evansville and Zach bought me a back massage machine that goes in the chair! It does shiatsu massage and feel wonderful! He jokes that now he won't ever have to give me massages anymore, but that's not true! Then we went back to his house, and he opened his present from me, a balance thing that measures reloading stuff for guns! As you can guess, I don't exactly know what it is, I just said, "Pick something out unless you want some new polos." Motivates him every time! Today after church and lunch at Mama Joyce's we rushed to the west side of Evansville and went to the movies! We saw "When ...

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
