almost there

*UPDATE - the dog adoption lasted exactly 1 whole hour ! ! !

Instead of taking her home and letting her get acclimated for a few days or weeks especially considering her severe senility), the adopter took her over to a house full of people to show her off . . . well that freaked her out even more than just
being adopted minutes before. Apparently she cowered, growled, and bit at all the grabby-ass people and based on that one immediate episode alone the adopter returned her. So, she is back living with us, guess she's ours for life - like the saying goes "evil don't die".

We are so close to seeing our little girl . In fact by this weeks end we will be seeing her.
Our doctor says that I'm 80% effaced and 2 centimeters dilated. When I asked her to estimate how big our girl is going to be and she said "well she's not a small baby" -- then she backtracked and said I'd say she's medium.

There are a couple of things in play and so we decided to induce on Friday if she doesn't come before. I know everyone has their opinions on induction. Doug and I have done research talked to our physician about the pros and cons of it. It's not for everybody and we are good with our decision.

The other thing going on is we are giving away our little dog. Over the past couple of months she has been snapping at people. We were nervous about having her around the baby. She knows she isn't going to be the baby anymore so maybe that's her deal. She is an old dog and quite grumpy so this is for the best. We are giving her to a sweet lady from Doug's office who just is dying to take care of a little dog like ours. It all works out. We are sad to see her go we've had her for almost three years, but we are glad she will be with someone who will devote all the time in the world to her. Enough about that..

So the next time you hear from us we will hopefully have pictures of our little one and good news to share with you.

thanks for your support and prayers. You'll never know how much it means to us to have such wonderful friends and family like you.
