Our Sweet Wentworth

What a night/day it has been. Whew. I woke up for the 100th time to pee around 3am and my poor little Wentworth followed me in and ran into the wall. It was dark so I reached down to pet him and make sure he was ok and the little guy was shaking. After turning on the light (and putting on my glasses) I realized that something was not right.

I yelled for the hubs to make sure I wasn't hallucinating in my hazy state but he saw exactly what I did. Went's back legs were really shaky, he was panting pretty hard, and seemed delirious at times (running into the wall). Being the hormonal sap I am I immediately start sobbing but with encouragement from the hubs I collected myself and called our emergency vet. Four hours and $500 later we found out he was having onset seizures. It looks like these seizures were caused by ingesting something toxic but they can't be 100% sure. We are thinking the mushrooms that just popped up in our backyard?

He was given charcoal (never heard of this) to soak up what was left of the toxins, valium to stops the tremors, and fluids. We took a very drugged pup home and waited a few hours until our normal vet opened. By this point the drugs were wearing off and the old Wentworth was shinning through.

We still have to keep a strict eye on him to make sure the seizures aren't something that are going to be a reoccurring problem but so far we haven't seen any sign of them since the early morning.

My heart was breaking watching my poor baby act that way, it is such a relief to see him acting like himself again (just a very sleepy version of himself). Hopefully he doesn't give us any more scares and that is the last seizure we ever see.

this was the only way we could get the little guy to lay down.

is the hubs going to be a good daddy or what?

yes. he is laying on our tile floor.

Happy Halloween!! (& 34 weeks)

Sadly I did not decorate our house for Halloween this year. We just had too much going on and decided it wasn't worth it this year. We also didn't really "dress up" for the first time in a very long time. But that doesn't mean I was completely without Halloween spirit this year! I was ready to hand out candy and we still had our pumpkins!

Sadie and I are ready for the Trick-or-Treaters!!

My happy little pumpkin :)

The hubs scary pumpkin

and a sweet little one for Sadie.

Also, today marks 34 weeks! Eeek! We are so close! Nothing new is really going on this week but maybe I will have more news after our doctors appointment :)

Baby Shower!

My amazing friend Antonia threw me the most beautiful baby shower for me and Sadie. Everything was homemade and so personal. I always knew the girl was good at this kind of thing but she really blew me away with everything.

There was a sweets table for favors. And yes she made all of it, I think she is missing her calling here. Delicious food consisting of tomato bisque and baked potato soups, salads, grilled cheese sammies (my fave!), pasta salad, spinach dip, fruits and veggies, pumpkin dip and more! Seriously all of my favorite foods and the perfect kind of foods for an early afternoon shower.

I requested no games in which we act like babies (such as eating baby foods, smelling things out of diapers, or drinking out of bottles) so Antonia picked games that were age appropriate (thank you!). She made a celebrity baby matching game where you matched the celebrity with the name of their baby, guess how many jelly beans are in the big baby bottle, and try to guess how big my belly is with a piece of yarn. I learned that many people think I look a lot bigger than I am :)

My friends and family are such amazing people. They made me and Sadie feel so loved. We are both so lucky to have all of these people in our lives. I can't wait until she can meet everyone.

Now I will get to the good stuff... Picture overload!

Steppin' Out Sunday 10.30.11

outfit: Motherhood Maternity (the whole thing)

shoes: Payless (I really should buy new shoes...)

This was the first maternity top I ever bought and wore. Last time you saw it on here, it looked a bit different on me:

14 weeks vs. 33 weeks

I have also gotten much more pale since then. At least our grass is greener. Anyway, I was headed to a cheese party for my lovely friend Amy's birthday. What is a cheese party, you may be asking yourself? Well it is a party full of cheese! Cheesy breads, cheese potatoes, plates of cheese, mac n' cheese, chips and queso, and two different baked brie's. I have been in a cheese coma ever since but it was all so yummy.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a very Happy Halloween tomorrow :)

ps- Baby shower pictures will be up tomorrow!

World Champions!

As you all are pretty well aware of, I am a HUGE baseball fan. Especially when it comes to my St. Louis Cardinals! After staying up after midnight screaming and celebrating only to have to wake up a few hours later for my 12 hour work shift, I finally have enough sanity to tell you all that...

THE CARDINALS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!

Sadie was cheering along with me during all of game seven. She was probably wondering what the heck I was getting so worked up for but I like to think that she is just already such a big cardinals fan. Thanks to a bet made between the hubs and I regarding the outcome of the World Series, Sadie is exclusively Cardinals fan and will not be cheering on the Reds :) Therefore she will soon be sporting this little number:

And one more awesome picture we found on the interwebs that made my baseball loving heart smile:

I wont go into the details of the games (because, well I know none of you care) but there were some great displays of baseball at its finest. I am so excited for spring when baseball is back and we will be able to share our love of sports with our little girl. She doesn't know what she's in for ;)

33 weeks

This past week has really worn me out! I have been staying up way too late watching World Series games and combined with all of the excitement of my shower and getting things ready for Miss Sadie. Whew. I need a nap just thinking about it.

The hubs and I have been very productive lately. All of Sadie's clothes are washed and put away, along with her blankets, towels, and wash cloths. We spent a good amount of time and a big chunk of money at Babies R Us making sure we have everything we need for her arrival. Her room is almost complete, I just need to organize her bookshelf (pictures to come soon, I promise). I even started packing our hospital bag. Maybe it's a little early but if you know me at all then you know that is just normal Megan behavior.

Sadie is doing well although I think she is starting to feel cramped because it seems like she is trying to make some more room in there. Wondering what gives me that idea? Here take a look:

In case you can't tell, that's my view looking down on my ginormous belly. That bulge there on the right? That is my baby girl. Is she trying to escape? Possibly trying to make some more room in her ever-shrinking home? Either way it looks and feels weird! And sometimes it looks even crazier than this, I just haven't caught a picture of it yet.

Baby shower and nursery pictures will be coming soon but for now I will leave you with a picture from the pumpkin patch:

Steppin' Out Saturday {10.22.11}

dress: A Pea in a Pod

cardigan: Express

shoes: Payless

braclet & necklace: Lucky Brand (should have gotten a better photo of them. oops)

This Saturday was my baby shower! It was absolutely perfect! Great friends & family, beautiful decorations, yummy food, sweet baby things, and so much love for my baby girl. Sadie is so incredibly lucky to have such wonderful and loving people that already care about her so much.

But more on that later. For now I am going to go eat some of that yummy left over food I mentioned (yes. at 7am. don't judge me).
