Pregnancy update and puppy update

Well, we have made it to week 27 with twins, which is a huge deal and milestone in my book. This is because I was born at 27 weeks gestation. Everyone loves to ask how I am feeling so here is the run -down: so  far pretty good. I will say it is getting more difficult to sleep at night, last night I only got about three hours or so of sleep, but I must be getting what I need because other than feeling tired I am feeling good.

We went to the doctor today and she said to limit my walking. I noticed last night as we walked to Chewy's for dinner that I could barely make it that far and was feeling tired/winded and going slower and slower with each step. So, from now on I will be dropped off etc but can still go places just needing more rest, which I am trying to get and make up for during the day since I do not get much sleep now. As you can tell I am writing this past midnight. I try to sleep but just can't get comfortable and the only way I feel comfortable is sitting up as laying down is painful on my back, lungs etc. Hoping I am able to get some sleep tonight.

Next week is a big week. We are celebrating Scout's first birthday! I cannot believe she will be one! She has been such a great puppy and a great addition to our family. I went and got her a dog birthday cake, dog popsicles that she loves and two new dog toys to celebrate. It should be fun to celebrate with her.

Also, next week we will be taking a tour of the hospital in the high risk area. Think this will help us to feel a little more prepared, or at least as prepared as we can be for having the babies. Looking forward to next week and am taking each week and day one step at a time.

Here is to hoping I can get a few hours sleep tonight.

Scout Update

I cannot believe it is almost April. I feel like 2016 is flying by already. Scout turns one on April 22nd. She has learned so much and grown so much since we got her in July. In January, she went to a two -week board and train program, which at the time felt like forever not having her with us. But, when she came back she had learned so much. She is great at sitting and staying. We are still needing to work on laying down, staying and a few other commands. Also, we need to teacher about puppy toys vs. baby toys. She seems to think that all toys are hers. haha. So, we need to work with her on which toys are for puppies and which are for babies.

After Scout came home in January we have really worked with her on going in her crate, she will even go in all by herself when she is tired and loves having her own space. I think once the babies arrive she will be even more grateful for her own space. Also, she loves going upstairs and just hanging out in the babies room. I cannot wait for her to meet her new humans. I know she will be a great big puppy sister.

Scout

My puppy scout is al its 6 months old. We brought her home in July and have loved having her. Right now and for the past three weeks she has had kennel cough. We are trying to get her better  luckily she does not know she is sick. Here are some pics of her

New puppy

I'm thrilled to announce that we have a new member of our family. Her name is Scout and she is small weighing 7 pounds. We brought her home last Monday. She is the best puppy and birthday gift I could ask for.

So far she has been great. We are crate training her and that is woe,I got well. She has gone up to 6 hours before being let out. Which is great. I have been waking up around 2 or 3 am to let her out. She loves playing with her toys and is teething. We try to shove things in her mouth so she does not try to chew on us. She is so much fun and has a great personality.
