| Things are great in my neck of the woods.
Carly is nearly 3 months old and doing exceptionally well. She is so advanced for a baby her age! She has next to perfect control of her head and neck, she's extremely alert, she's growing like a weed, she's lifting herself upward (she'll be sitting up in no time), and she is steady on her legs if you hold her up.
I, on the other hand, got a new job! It's salaried, I get PTO, benefits and a lot of other perks. I'm a Contractor Expense Specialist at TEK Systems. I'm currently working very hard to get promotions and bonuses so I can provide Carly with the life she so deserves. There's a lot of room for advancement, getting this job was a wonderful opportunity for us.
I just realized how little I've been on here the last year! It's been a crazy one, that's for sure.

| Still pregnant. September 30, 2012 @ 09:53:53 am0 | |

| I'm incredibly frustrated, been trying all kind of induction techniques... nothing is working.
I have strong contractions daily that never amount to true labor.
I'm set to be induced October 4th @ 5am. So at the latest she'll be here on Friday.
But I'm still holding out hope that I'll go into labor on my own. The thought of induction makes me feel defeated and scared. This is NOT how I pictured the last leg of my pregnancy to be like. Like, wtf did I do wrong that I can just go into Goddamn labor??
Please send labor vibes my way!7 comments | Reply |

| Last night, we ended up having to put down our cat, Gabriel.
Gabriel was in a lot of pain; he had crystals in his bladder and urinary tract. He couldn't pee. It’s a lifelong condition that wasn’t guaranteed to even stay away once treated. The entire procedure to even unblock his tract was $2,600. And they told us even in doing that, he could get it again months, weeks even days later so it wasn't even a sure fix. And that sometimes the issues spread to the kidneys which makes things a lot worse. Also, we’d have to keep him on a special (expensive) diet for the rest of his life. Which is hard to do with other cats and a dog in the house.
We contemplated paying for it all but we’re broke as it is with the holidays coming up, property tax due and Carly coming very soon. Even if my mom’s sister would have paid for it on her credit card, it would take us almost 2 years to pay off for it to most likely happen again.
It feels horrible making this kind of decision, we’ve never had to do this with any other animal before.. We haven’t stopped crying for 2 hours. It feels terrible, like we put a price on his life. But then they told us about it being lifelong and this could mean several trips a year to the vet. If Gabriel was miserable and in pain now, we didn’t want to keep doing this to him. Shoving him in a crate, putting him in the car and taking him to the vet anytime he showed a sign of this.
We held him while they euthanized him. We were talking to him through our tears and petting him gently. The most horrible part was watching his bright green eyes fade into grey as he fell asleep and then soon after passed on.
My mom and I are wrecks right now. This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. Gabriel is going to be so missed by everyone in this household.9 comments | Reply |
