32 Weeks, 3 Days

How close we are getting! And how big Colin is getting! He's at least 5 pounds by now, and I can definitely tell. He FEELS bigger in my belly, I can only imagine how it's going to be in a few more weeks. I'm getting bigger everyday I think! I've been feeling better, which is nice, though heartburn and back pain are my two foes right now.

Sadly, there has been no word on Crazy. We handed out 200 fliers last Friday and Saturday in hopes a neighbor might have seen him. We also handed out fliers to the local vet's offices. Everyone has been very encouraging not to give up hope, but it is hard to know what to do. Obviously we don't want to give up hope that he may come home, but at the same time we can't live with all the sadness and anxiety that a lot of hope brings. So, we've decided to focus on all the wonderful things we have in our lives and just be grateful, not only for those things, but for the time we did have with Crazy. What makes it harder is how sad Henry has been. He lost his best friend, and you can tell. He sits outside on the wall behind the flower bed and just stares out at the forest behind the house, and he stays in bed (literally) all day. He's even lost a little weight because he isn't eating like he used to.

On a brighter note, the house is coming along very nicely. Hopefully by the end of this week much of the work that we'd hoped would be done before we moved in should be done. We hope to be completely moved in and actually living there by the middle of November. I'll also post some pictures soon.

This weekend we have 2 of our 3 birthing classes. I'll give more on that later.

Where did the week go?

This week has flown by. On a sad note, there has been no sign of Crazy as of yet. We aren't quite giving up hope yet, but life just isn't the same without him.

On a good news note, the house is coming along nicely. Carpet should be completely installed today, drywall up in the kitchen, lots of landscaping changes in the backyard, and by the end of the weekend we hope to have all the painting completely done, light fixtures up and a few other odds and ends up.

As for Colin, my how big he is getting! He's taking up more and more room in my tummy, and seems to be doing well. Our next doctor's appointment is on Halloween, next Wednesday.

Please keep Crazy in your prayers, our family isn't complete without him.

Update

I apologize for not updating yesterday, I was at the new house from 9am to 8pm dealing with workers, only to come home and find that our Crazy cat had not been seen since Brad left for work. We searched for nearly an hour, to no avail. We had hoped he'd come home during the night, but as of now, about 12:00, we have not seen him. We are hoping for the best, but obviously we are both devastated right now. I'll let you all know if any news comes our way.

Pay Attention to Me!

"What? I need attention too."


"What is she reading now?"

Anything they can do to get me off that dumb computer! The computer was actually sitting in my lap when Henry decided it was his turn.

Henry's Basket

The basket on the entertainment center has become Henry's new sleeping place since I packed up the videos that were in it. Isn't he cute?

Kitties Week

Well, we are in a slow part of the pregnancy right now, no doctor's appointments this week, just Colin and I getting bigger everyday. So I thought I'd make this week about our other 2 "kids," Henry and Crazy.

For those who haven't seen Henry lately, he's gotten big, er, fat. And really soft. Remember that puppy we bought a couple months ago, and how soft I said he was? Henry is softer! Since he's been in our home, gotten healthy and lazy, he's doing much better. He's very loveable and follows us all around the house, just wanting to be where we are. He's also gotten in a habit of laying in the cutest places, evidence as follows:



(that's Brad's briefcase laying in front of the fireplace, one of Henry's favorite new places to sleep).

He's Gonna be a Great Big Brother
