Hello again! Well, we made it through another week : ) Baby Van Ness has been very active over the last week. He is continually stretching, kicking, and moving about. It is very odd (to say the least) to know that there is another human being moving about in your body, but alas there is! So, bad news for me regarding the pain in the side. I have been taking the medication the doctor gave me for my gall bladder and there has been no change in the pain. Essentially that rules out the gall bladder and simply means that it is likely my abdominal muscles pulling away from my rib and there is nothing we can do. I also had the pleasure of experiencing my first charlie horse this morning. Much to Justin's dismay, I woke up screaming from the pain. Of course, Justin thought I was in labor and was less than enthused to find it was "only" a charlie horse. He did, however, do his fatherly/husbandly duty and rubbed my leg until it went away. Hopefully, that will be the last of those...is that wishful thinking ?!?!?!
So I though you all would also enjoy a little Labor Day tale that lended itself to the title of this blog : ) Justin got off work from the shop early on Monday, and we had also had freakishly nice weather...it was the first day the temperature had dipped into the double digits!!!! Justin and I decided to take full advantage of the opportunity and take the dogs to te park up the street from the house. This was mistake number 1. We barely made it to the park before Syrus collapsed from sheer exhaustion. As many of you know, he is not necessarily a specimen of phsyical prowess ; ) Both Jackson and Syrus were panting, so I decided to get out the bowl and water that I brought for our "journey." Long story short, apparently Syrus decided that it was his water and attacked Jackson. So, we spent our Labor Day in the emergency vet while Jackson received stitches from Syrus' display of aggression. So we wondered, will we ever the opportunity to have a relaxing day of fun or will there always be "something" : ) I have included some pictures for your enjoyment. The first two are prior to the event - the third is at the vet.
