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.

Get My Groove On

Got to get that swimming in while we can. It will make my delivery easier for sure! Tummy is getting larger. There is no doubt she is pregnant. Life is grand with a pool if you are Roxie. Hoping we have great weather up to when she delivers. We can dream and hope!

Bath Yesterday

Roxie is doing well and she is getting a small but more pronounced tummy like they do at this stage. She didn't go swimming with me today but Daddy wasn't here till late afternoon. We will see what tomorrow brings. She is bound to swim h=just so I have to blow dry her. But that's okay. I prefer them having a great time.

Round Belly

She has the start of a round belly. She is still being picky about eating. But she is doing well. We are hoping to get her swimming this week with warm weather coming for a few days and Nathan being here vs. shows.

Oh What's New?

She seems to eat Jeannie's castoffs. Jeanie has special food as she has pups and well so do pregnant moms but she wanted Jeannies and Jeannie didn't want hers as I fed her steak (shhh). So Roxie ate hers. It's the only time we indulge in such craziness and they know it. Nutrition with pregnancy and after pregnancy is interesting. Moms with pups will eat anywhere from 6 to 8 times a day small meals. When pregnant they eat 3 times.

Roxie is no longer feeling the morning sickness but she can be picky. I want the good stuff you know!

Wind in My Hair

She has been having morning sickness and I am trying to feed her everything under the sun. The trick is to get the food in her when her tummy calms down. This too shall pass.
