As I was up with the birds, or in the winter… the snow plows, it would seem today might be another snow day. Not so much that we will be staying in, but that there will be shovelling, jumping cars and hopefully playing in the snow. As I sent the dogs out for their morning break, they came in looking like giant snow dogs. It is the kind of sticky, clumpy snow that sticks to their backs and makes a good layer for them to carry into the house. They do love it though, just lying there in the snow.

Here is an update, all seems to be going well so far. I am awaiting test results from the doctor to see if anything is needed. I analyse every tweak and pinch and I am more nervous than excited at this point. I have gained the instant 8 pounds that I seem to gain as soon as my body knows it is pregnant and I am missing my patience, which also seems to happen instantly, but doesn’t last long. Other than that all is well, “J” has agreed to walk more instead of being carried, which is a good thing all around. And I have to remind myself not to do anything too strenuous just to be safe. Will see what my doctor has to say later this week.
