Day 2

It has been a very long time and I forgot about this blog. But today I'm 27 weeks and 6 days pregnant and not feeling good for the second day in a row. I don't know what it is. I'm not the type to have nausea ever. I never even had in the first trimester and that is most common. I suppose I'm a first timer having nausea in my almost 3rd trimester and I'm just not use to this. I eat and about 10-30 min after I'm sick to my stomach and nothing ever comes of it just sick feeling. The only other note worthy thing to report is that this baby is so active and ruff. We have no names yet but we did find out that we are having a boy due sometime in November.

Making up for lost time

I can't keep up with my blogg, but It had been so long I couldn't remember my info to get on and blogg. I was so behind with time, that I just watched the last episode of the season for Lost today. Yeah I know it's been off for some time now, but I was the one with no time to watch it. As soon as the baby went to sleep I watched it and he woke up when I had about 30 minutes left and we watched it together. It was nice to fast forward the commercials. I was just Lost, as always and can't wait till next season. Talon has been very fussy today and it makes me think he might be teething.My excitement for dad to come home makes me just want time to fly by. I was planning on going to the west next week, but looks like money wise I need to save it all for when dad gets home and so we can have some fun when he gets home.I will need to take this boy to his crib and hope he sleeps as good as he has the past few nights.

Rolls Royce

I just can't believe how fast my son is growing. He is so much fun now with his laughter and smile. He actaully screams or squills more in the morning time. I thinks it's his way of opening up his lungs and letting some oxygen in. Today I got a new toy for my boy and I love it to death. It the Rolls Royce of stroller, "hence the name Royce". LOL anyways it's the Stokke. I'm so stoked about this stoller. Some people would say we are crazy, but hey if a vacum cost about as much as this and it makes life so much more easy and I'm happy, then so be it. I would rather have this stroller than the one I use to have. It moves with ease and is just a delight to see the reaction on my baby boys face as he is up and interacting with me and his surroundings. I think he might just sleep really good tonight because he was up most of the day just enjoying his new found perspective on things. O ,YES, he is up to eat... gotta go. The susu is too full. :) He ate and went right back to bed.

I gave the sad new to Rich, he is sad his boy is gone. But he did recall all the times he would

westle with him and spin him in circles on our floor. He would take Duke on little trips to the

Dump when he was done with yard work on the weekends. Duke loved car rides and sitting up front in your lap if he could. The last real long road trip was over 3000 miles from Cali fo Florida and Duke loved every minute of it. He was such a people dog and he was more human

than dog. We will miss our black bear.He has so many different nick names along with stories over the past 16 almost 17 years.

Last good bye with Duke.

Last night Duke was just not doing good. So after about 2 hours of saying good bye and crying we just went to the vet today.Mianna had called it and said she wanted to put Duke to sleep. I didn't want him to suffer any more. He was showing clear signs of a stroke and was not very responsive or active at all. He wouldn't eat or take his meds. Around 3:30 today we put him down. Mianna didn't want to be in the room, but stayed with him and held him as he passed. The water works have been off and on all day. Mianna is at her friends house trying to keep her mind off of it.We cleaned the house and so there is no evidence of Duke around.I'll print as many pictures and make and album for her.We are having him cremated and need to buy an urn to put his ashes in.We had Duke for 17 years.
