Tummy Shots

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger View

As you can see her tummy is much larger than last time when she only had an outside tie. Expected Due Date September 13 -September 19, 2014. This is give or take a few days. Morning Sickness started 7/30 - may mean possible due date 12th September. We shall see. If so, we are close and we will go for an xray after Nathan gets back from his fishing trip.

We have a lot going on. Looks like Danielle is on her last drug to try before they remove her colon and she has to have a bag. We are hoping it doesn't get to that point. The drug is experimental and the side affects in kids can be cancer.

Then Nathan is going on this fishing trip as one of his buddies was told all the experimental drugs, chemo etc is not working. The reality is this will be the last fishing trip with him. We are on a ride and we still are focusing on the pups and celebrating what we can. To say I am not worried about Danielle is an understatement. Same goes for Nathan's friend who I care for dearly too.

Hoping the experimental drug works for Dani. I've been wondering about her lately. Our thoughts are with her and with Nathan's friend. Tough times. Roxie is looking good and very pregnant. Hoping her pregnancy brings rays of sunshine during these otherwise tough times. Hugs to all!

I've been thinking about Dani lately and wondering how she was. Hope this experimental drug works for her. Thinking of her and of Nathan's friend. Tough times. Hugs to all. Oh, and Roxie is looking very pregnant! We wish her well.

( I tried to submit this post twice last night and wasn't able to. If it shows up later, you will have three similar posts from me)

Positive thoughts to family & friends!

Roxie is such a doll! She will have beautiful puppies.

Positive thoughts and prayers for Danielle.

Nice memories for Nathan and his friend a guys fishing trip.
Take care of yourself Darlah, you have a lot going on.

It is a poker marathon. :-)

Deb: She looks a lot like Miss Abs in this photo.

August 29, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

So sorry to hear about the rough times you and Nathan are going through. Sending positive thoughts and hope to you

Yes, she does Darlah. I used to be able to tell Miss Abs and Roxie apart, but as she matured she became the spitting image. Wonder if soon it will be difficult to tell Adele and Roxie apart?

Thank you all. To say I am not afraid for her medical future is an understatement. A 13 year old should not have to live with a bag for the rest of her life.

Abigail has strong genes. All of her pups look like her to a degree. They all seem to have her face. It will be interesting to see what Roxie has this time seeing she had connections this time. I doubt it will just be 2 and this way she won't be counting pups so she can get one. :-0

Roxie is such a beauty. She truly does favour her mom. I hope she has a nice size litter so she will be able show her motherhood skills. I hope she has a few that resemble her, of course a couple should look like daddy.

She loves the pups so. She still thinks Buddy is hers. Even I get confused at times.
