Our new Kitty

We have a new addition to our family. Her name is Cheeto and she's 4 months old. Scott and Patrick found her and her litter when they were 1 day old. They hand fed them and cared for them for weeks until they either gave them to friends or a no-kill shelter. But Scott kept Cheeto and eventually gave her to us. So, she was never weened and subsequently, has this suckling habit. It's sooo cute!

We love her. When she first arrived, we thought she was a he, but after taking her to get fixed and vaccinated, the vet informed us otherwise! She constantly terrorizes our other cat, Dixie Rex, but it gives him plenty of excersize.

Baby Shower

On Saturday, September 16th, my friend Stacey threw us an amazing baby shower. It was in Rebecca's back yard. It was beautiful. The theme was high tea. Stacey went all out, making tea sandwiches, collecting a few dozen quaint tea cups and pots, and hanging wind chimes and flowers in the surrounding trees. It seemed like a magical day! Lots of people came and we had a great time.














We also had another sonogram done a week ago. All seems healthy and well. It's just that Lucius seems to be a big baby. At 31 weeks, he's 4lb 11oz! almost 2 pounds more than "usual" but the doctor says that he's well in the "normal" range. We did have a slight scare last week when I started having contractions during work. Our doctor told us to go to the hospital just in-case, but it turns out that they were just practice contractions. We still have 8 weeks to go, I don't mind waiting! I don't want to have a big baby, but I don't want a small baby either. A medium sized baby, like 7-8 pounds, would be perfect! We'll see.......
