I'm so behind in blogging.
Wednesday was our 10th anniversary. It's amazing how fast the time goes by. We celebrated by first me going on my own to the doctor for an early morning ultrasound probing. To learn that round 3 did not work, no response whatsoever. Then, Dennis took a half day and we had a really yummy lunch together and caught up on some tv. Funny how alone time has changed. It was nice though, to just eat and relax and not have to do anything for an hour or 2.
After that, it was time to get Kristopher from school. We went from there to a doggy rescue and met our new puppy. We decided since we initially wanted to get a puppy this fall, before Zoey got sick and passed, and that it would make us a 2 dog home. After everything with Zoey, and gettting Roxie so fast, I'm finally thinking on the 2 dog idea again. I originally contacted the rescue about a 3 yr old rescue dog, who was already spayed, utd on shots and mature. I was told that due to the puppy and the kid, we were not a good match for the dog. Other dogs available were pits and high libility dogs for insurances, so I asked if she could let us know if something else came in. She asked if I was open to another puppy this soon. I thought on it a little, and decided we'd give it a go. I'm already use to this puppy behavior now, and I think if I wait till spring when I have her more trained and trusted, I'm not going to want to go back to the puppy stage for a while. As in, Roxie would end up an only dog. So, we met our puppy. Her name is going to be Marley (Kristopher's choice) and she's a great pyrenees mix. She's going to be a BIG puppy. The mother was rescued while pregnant and on the list to be killed, so they saved her and let her have her puppies. They are ready next week. So, it's happening fast, and I hope my sanity can handle it. She's already a good big heavier than Roxie. But, she's very calm and laid back. I actually did not realize how hyper and crazy Roxie is, till we spent time with the other dog.
So this got sidetrack. What can I say about the anniversary? I'll just end it with saying I'm very greatful to have such a wonderful and caring husband, who supports me in every way and is always here for me. I know it's rare anymore for people to last, so I feel very accomplished that we've made it this far, and are still happy and love each other.
I also realized that I spent pretty much the past 10 years trying to get pregnant. We are doing one more round, then I'm not sure what happens next. I'm burnt out, and slowly moving past the need for another....
Happy Anniversary! 10 years, wow! Time flies.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new puppy! I think puppy pals are a good idea, I was really big on getting a pair of cats, it's just better when they have a playmate. My husband's family has had several Great Pyrenees. They are the sweetest, my gentle dogs. I remember one of the dogs gently collecting all the kittens one day so that he could curl up with them. And they are so big they could almost double as giant furry rugs. The only down side is that they are the dumbest dogs I've ever met, so I hope their's some smarter breed mixed in there too. BIL and SIL's dog can't even figure out how to walk down more than 2 steps or jump into a car. But she's very sweet.
I have been meaning to tell you that my other SIL's sister is preggo after battling PCOS for years. She's extremely fit and active (a big cyclist) but couldn't get pregnant until she went completely carb free. I don't know how much energy you have left to keep going after this, or if you've already given the carb free thing a good go, but if you have the will, given the issues caused by PCOS, it sounds like a worthy treatment.
I know that we will try to have another one, and I know that part of me will be sad if we don't have another one, but another part of me will be grateful.
