I like treats!

Two weeks ago or so Maggie moved in. And it has been a little crazy ever since!

See when she first came she brought a visitor...

Her brother Miles. Luckily Miles only stayed about a week, but even still there was a LOT of poop!

Maggie didn't do so well when Miles went to his new home and she spent a lot of time under my kitchen cart!

I have to admit I was really worried at first and thought we were going to end up with both Maggie and Miles if she didn't perk up but she did!

And now she really has come in to her own and boy has she been having a lot of fun!

She has a duck that she caries all over the house and the yard. (I think Mr. K might have to take up hunting just so he can take Maggie!)

She waits "patiently" for her meals! Yeah right, but she sure tries! In this picture she is waiting for a carrot! And this morning she completely impressed my brother with her tricks! She has already learned to sit, shake, lay down and roll over! She hasn't fully gotten roll over, but she is very close! She is such a quick learner! If only she would house train that easy!

She likes to watch TV

But not commercials!

And she loves to sleep just like this! Doesn't that look comfortable? And even with the storm we had last night she slept the whole night for the very first time! Granted she was awake at 6am, but that was a lot better than 2am!

And I promise I will do my best to blog about things other than Maggie but right now there is not a lot going on! Hope everyone has a great weekend! It finally feels like fall here and I am super EXCITED, too bad Mr. K is working this weekend!

HSG and Other News

I know I should have done this a week ago...but I haven't wanted to, for several reasons.
I'm not even sure where to start...
The main reason I have been hesitant in posting is because a particular member of my family has started reading my blog. Apparently they enjoy taking what I say on here and repeating it to other family members, to stir up trouble. I know I have said some things on here that are not particularly faltering to many of my family members, but I am only stating my feelings and I am NOT doing it to be hurtful to anyone. I have thought about making my blog private and the more I think about it the less I want to do that. I know I read a variety of different blogs that I might not comment on and I get sad when they suddenly go private and I don't want to do that to any one who might be lurking out there. So to that family member, I am not going to tell you to stop reading but I am going to ask that you respect me and my thoughts and stop stirring things up, I really just don't have the energy for it.

In other news...
The HSG turned out to be pretty easy as far as the procedure it self is concerned. Little too no pain and it was over in less than five minuets. But then I guess that is also the bad part. It turns out that the Dr. that did the ectopic removal back in March was not honest with us at all. Not one little bit! It seams that she actually REMOVED my left fallopian tube and ovary! Yes you read that right, both my left fallopian tube and ovary are gone!
I sat for a long while being very angry and crying! I understand I still have the right side but I feel violated. And yes I realize she would have only done it if it were medically necessary, but the fact that she just left that little bit of information out is what bothers me! Mr. K and I both specifically asked her if she removed anything and she said NO! I really just feel violated!
Dr. R said we shouldn't worry about anything and that my right FT and O look very healthy. He also said he doesn't see any reason for us to worry about anything, even though his best guess is that it will take any ware from 6 months to a year to conceive once we decide we are ready and that really isn't that long, it it?
But right now I just have to believe that everything will work out for us.

After a rough first couple of days Maggie is finally feeling at home, I have about a zillion pictures that I will sort threw and post a few of later. We attempted a walk this morning but she wanted no part of. See last week the weather here was so nice and cool, in the 70's, which was wonderful compared to mid 90's that we have been experiencing! But it didn't last too long, this morning we woke up and it is in the 80's again! And Maggie wants no part of going outside, which could present a problem or two in a few hours.
Wish me luck!

Sunday Evening

So yesterday afternoon Mr.K and I decided to drive to a Target a few towns over because they apparently have a fabulous pet section! And it really paid off! Our "super" target doesn't even have 1/4 of the selection this little one had! We got almost everything left on our list! But while shopping I realized that I keep thinking of Maggie like she is a baby! And I keep going a little overboard with what I want to buy, I have already purchased 3 collars for her and I saw another one that we just might have to have too! I know she is a puppy, not a baby...but I want a baby, not a puppy!
I mean I guess I want a puppy to but I have never had a puppy before and oddly enough I am more worried about a puppy then a baby! I think I have lost my mind!
But after the first breakdown, yes there were two! Kevin and I made BBQ Ribs for dinner and they were AWESOME! It might have taken a bit longer than my dad had wanted...but oh well, he can get over it! They were great!
After dinner it had really cooled down, finally, and we had a nice breeze so we lit a little fire in the fire pit on our patio and Mr. K and I sat and read our books for three hours! It was so nice! I love to read and I can't think of a better way to have spent the evening!
I wish bringing Maggie home this week was not freaking me out so much! I am sure I will love her, but right now I am just freaked out by her!

HSG - Rescheduled

So my HSG has been rescheduled, for the 29th! I meant to post this yesterday but I never got to it!
Thank you to all of you that have been thinking about us today, I do appreciate it! And please think of me again on the 29th!
I have to admit that when it was rescheduled, I really wasn't ready for it yet! I just got of the phone with Dr. R and he assured me not to worry about it and went over the procedure a bit more with me, which did set my mind at ease!
I think I have a friend from High School that has had an HSG done before so I am going to send her an email tonight and ask her what she knows, is that to much?

Just an Update

I know I'm a blogging fool today!

My little part time job is working out really well, I am always busy!

Hence my lack of blogging!

As of September 1st, I am on Mr.K's insurance! Which I am really enjoying!

I really needed to go and see Dr. Ramos, my regular OBGYN, so I made an appointment and went last Friday. I took with me a copy of my records from March and the crazy Dr. . Turns out they actually did take part of my right ovary! After I was told, more than once, that they did not!

I don't know if I have ever written this before but I LOVE Dr. Ramos! He was fabulous with us during my pregnancy with The Girls and after he was PHENOMENAL! He and his staff are amazing! I know, I know....you think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not!

So back to Friday,I was terrified about how it was going to go. And I was completely embarrassed that I had not been able to see him back in March because I did not have insurance! He made me feel so completely comfortable and made sure that I knew never to worry about money or insurance where he was concerned. So after a little emotional brake down, he read over the entire file, page by page, with me! He suggested we do something called an HSG so he could get a proper idea of the shape of my ovaries and fallopian tubes. I am actually a little worried about it all of the sudden...Probably because I thought that I had a few weeks to prepare but yesterday his office called and scheduled it for Thursday...oh yes, the day after tomorrow!

I know it's not a big deal and people have these all the time but still! And yes I know I'm probably making it worse in my mind!

In other news, we had ET (sorry T, I know you hate it!) over for dinner on Saturday! And it was a blast! Last week T said that they had a surprise for me and boy did they!

It is a charm necklace from Stella & Dot! And it is just perfect! I keep thinking about the fact that I have 4 pieces of jewelry that I wear in memory of the girls now...and I haven't bought a single one for my self! It is not a bad thing...but I find it odd! I absolutely LOVE all the things from all of you and am very thankful! I just think it is odd! I will have to fix that one of these days!

Thank you Tina from Living without Sophia and Ellie, for nominating me for an Honest Scrap Award! Have you seen the BEAUTIFUL jewelry she makes? Tina I think your amazing and I am very appreciative...I have never been given a blog award before! And I promise I will get to it very very soon!

But I have already done more then enough blogging for one day!

Hope everyone is well! Thinking of you all!

And I promise to let you all know how Thursday goes! If anyone has any advice on it...let me know!

Hi I'm Maggie!

I am really cure aren't I?

I am a white lab with two pink dots on my nose and bright blue eyes. I am about 5 weeks old in these pictures! And I am really excited that K&A are going to take me home in just over a week!

I have never really had a dog before...and I am little nervous about bringing little Miss. Maggie home, but at the same time I am really excited! I hope it all works out! I will post more pictures when we bring her home next week!

Adison & Lillian's First Birthday Party

I know I am behind...so please bear with me while I catch you up!

The Girl's Birthday Party was Wonderful! I could not have asked for better friends and family to support us that day!

Thanks to the Lovely Lola Red, we have some wonderful shots of the evening to remember it better!
I remembered everything...except mine and Mr.K's cards! I felt so guilty, but it worked out just fine...I had several extra blank cards. The Balloons they went off with out a hitch...well most of them!I have to admit it was really funny to watch Mr. K and T get them down! After we watched the balloons float far far away, we went home for dinner and cupcakes. We lit Birthday candles and started to sing Happy Birthday but I got a little emotional so we didn't. I really wanted to, but it made me so sad when I started thinking about it! I really loved these Rainbow Cupcakes that Monica made for Jack so I thought I would make some for the girls!

Monica's turned out a lot better then mine but I still enjoyed making them and they were just perfect for the girls Birthday!

If I did not mention it before I really had a wonderful day with my friends and family and I am so thankful for all of you! And all of your support, it means the world to the both Mr.K and I!
