After Twilight passed on the house has felt so empty. I have realized this odd sort of depression entering me. I have never lived in a house without a pet. I broke down yesterday after we put Quintin in bed, knowing that Lowell doesn't understand and feeling this emptiness just got to me. It was not an "oh my, Twilight is gone" breakdown, it was ( Read more... )

My cat finally let go. Thursday night she passed away. We ended up burying her in our back yard under the shade of a walnut tree. I am happy she finally let go because I know she was in a lot of pain, but I miss her already. I keep thinking she's sleeping under the stairs or in the living room under the stroller and realizing she's not here anymore ( Read more... )

So my cat Twilight has not been doing so well lately. We took her to the vet a couple of weeks ago and found out that she had a bladder infection and that she is a little anemic. We treated her for the infection and found out that we couldn't do anything about the anemia and that when cats are anemic it means something else is wrong, possibly ( Read more... )

So lately when Lowell and I go out to eat or shopping I have noticed something strange. People think Quintin is a girl. I just don't get it. He is dressed in all blue and they still think he's a girl. I always knew he was a beautiful baby, but this is kind of ridiculous. The oriental woman at the china buffet "Oh, I thought was girl!", the cashier ( Read more... )

Omg, new flat lcd 19" monitors are a beautiful sight......Now if my eyes would only get used to the huge screen and crisp display. LOL, Happy b-day to me!

So, Lowell likes to think he is not romantic but this morning proves him wrong. Yesterday my sister told me to look at the sky last night because the Perseid meteor shower would be visible to the northeast. I have never seen shooting stars before so I really wanted to see them. They were supposed to be visible starting between 9 and 10pm but we ( Read more... )

I have come to believe that the worst torture in life is being with the one you love and not being able to "express" it although both parties are willing. Three more weeks till check up and hopefully the doc says it's ok....

So, Lowell and I got Quintins birth certificate info in the mail yesterday and these people have different times of birth on both the hospital document and the information being filed for his birth. He was born at 10:52pm, the hospital paper says 10:42pm and the certificate info says 23:52(11:52pm), WTF...... So I called about the certificate info ( Read more... )

Quintin Alexander was born on his due date, 5/17/07, at 10:52pm healthy and happy. When my contractions were consistent we ended up at the hospital at 4am and were admitted. Sometime around 8, 8:30 they broke my water. The first nurse we had kept trying to bully me into having an epidural but somehow through all the pain I was able to stick to my ( Read more... )

So yeah, baby should be here any day now. I'm excited and nervous. I'm not really nervous about the giving birth part, this may sound strange. I just think that giving birth will be like any other excruciating pain, intense when it's there and forgotten when it's gone. Every woman I have ever talked to says that when you see your child for the ( Read more... )
