A day of appointments...

I went to the neurologist today - I go back in 1 1/2-2 weeks (I still have to make the appointment). It doesn't seem normal that the numbness starts below the spinal cord, but it could just be that I don't pay enough attention to my body to actually know where it starts. My reflexes are great so that's what really matters (I guess).
I'm glad I took today off. My 10 am appointment didn't get me into an exam room until 11:10 and I didn't see the dr until after 11:30.

Cooper did well at the vet. He's up to 25.4 pounds - still down a pound from the beginning of the summer, but he's working on re-gaining it. Coop goes back on the atopica (steroid) in the morning to hopefully get the allergies under control.

Nick went to the chiropractor again this morning. No work until Saturday - unless he doesn't do well at his evaluation Friday morning. He's ready to go back to work, I'm ready for him to go back to work...now all it'll take is the all clear from the chiropractor and we'll get our wish.

Nick & I met with the first pediatrician tonight. I like him. We meet with the other pediatrician next week. Here's hoping for an easy decision! This little one is going to need a dr!

The first blog...

will be about Cooper. We love our dog way to much. He's got as many (if not more) toys than most children I know. He sleeps with us, and snuggles under my belly for half the night getting kicked as much as I do and he just takes it. I really believe he & Jordan are going to be fast friends, and I'm going to get ganged up on. My kid is going to steal my dog - that will not be a happy day in my life, I already fear it. I will cry and throw a tantrum that rivals a 2 year old coming off a sugar high, and it'll all be for nothing. If it's going to happen it'll happen. I should just be glad that they'll get along. All the fears I had originally about introducing a baby into our family (to Cooper) have slowly been fading away. Cooper has shown on many occasions that he's great with kids and every time he snuggles with my belly, and gets kicked hard enough to yelp, I realize just how lucky we are to have such a great dog.

He used to be so tiny... he's growing up so fast, about to be a BIG BROTHER... and, really, how was I supposed to know dogs could tire of the attention from their "parents"...
