Saying Goodbye…

Today we had to make the difficult and heartbreaking decision to say goodbye (for now) to our little Meeka girl. As you may have known, she suffered a spinal injury last week and lost function of her back legs. We, along with the vet, were hopeful that she would start a slow recovery over the next few weeks. That however did not happen, sadly she actually only got worse. She stopped eating on her own, lost function of her bowels and bladder, and overall just seemed depressed. We lost the true spirit of our trouble making, fun loving, running around stealing things, little Meeka in all this.  We took her to the vet today in hopes that there was something different we could try, however the vet confirmed our fears that she was only going to get worse and there was nothing else they could do for her. She went peacefully in mommy’s arms….we feel she was ready to go, even seemed to say her goodbyes to Kuhlua and Milo earlier, as if she knew before we did.

Update Post

Well, we are almost down to the final month! :D   And I think its safe to assume the entire household is ready to be done. My poor husband has been weathering a lot of ups and downs at the side of his emotional wife. I have a good man :) I feel like throughout the pregnancy I have been pretty low maintenance on an emotional regard (compared to my pregnancy with bababoo). This past month however, has been a little crazy. Between getting bigger each day, the heat, all the summer events and this overwhelming need for me to have the ENTIRE house completely organized and “Ready” for baby….its been interesting around here! Hubs will tell you I am nesting, which could be the case…I think its just me trying to feel prepared for the idea of having two little ones to divide my time with in an already busy schedule. BUT we wont have it any other way! We are so so excited to meet this little man! I can’t wait to see Bababoo in the role of big sister, she is so wonderful now…I think she is just going to love to take care of him, watch over him and of course pick on him :)

60 days!!

60 days, 60 days, 60 days!!! Wow, only two more months and we will be a family of 4. I feel in my heart that we will instantly feel more complete as a family the moment we meet our little man face to face.  We will have that instant when you know that you can’t imagine your life without that little person, that they were always meant to be here….the way we felt upon meeting bababoo face to face.
