I felt the baby move!

I felt the baby move for the first time this weekend. That was an awesome feeling, especially b/c I normally don’t feel pregnant.

Ultrasound photos

Here's a slideshow of the ultrasound pictures we've had taken from week 8 to present:

Dog Days event cancelled

The local paper reported yesterday that the Health Dept threatened to take away the pool's license if they held the event. As much fun as the dogs have, it's probably not a bad idea.

Last year, the pool area was crowded by dogs and their owners by 9 am, and there was still a line waiting outside to get in at 11 am when we left. We took Pacey and our neighbor's dog Molly to the pool. Pacey was a little fraidy cat and wouldn't hardly step in the water. I guess she's more of an introvert. Molly, on the other hand, was her lab-like self and had the time of her life. She would fetch every disc we threw her way -- and a few we didn't!

A few days after last year's event, Molly had to go to the vet. It turns out that she had caught kennel cough. Her veterinarian said that the week after the event is her busiest week of the year. Because so many dogs are in close contact, they all share germs and end up getting sick.

It's unfortunate for the Humane Society that the fund raiser event had to be canceled, but it's probably better for the health of the dogs involved.
