canine pregnancy detector

I knew I was pregnant before the tests confirmed it because of this dog right here. Kayloo started having a particular interest in my breath. When she had the chance she would get up close to my face, specifically my mouth, and sniff and sniff and sniff. She wouldn’t try to lick me, she just [...]

pregnant chick: 34 weeks (being pregnant is weird)

John took this photo on Valentine’s Day with his phone, right before we went out for dinner. 34 weeks pregnant. 37 weeks is considered full term. Not long now, y’all… dot… dot… dot… Being pregnant is weird. For years you’re trying not to get pregnant. You’ve got Fort Knox going on to make sure that [...]

many courses for valentine’s day

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine’s Day! It looks better when you take the photo BEFORE the food is on the table. I know. You will notice that John has already placed his napkin on his lap and I have not. John married a heathen. We went to Cafe Brio. I know lots of [...]

pregnant chick: 33 weeks (spanxy)

Mah 33 week pregnant belly. I’m not looking at my ass in that one on the right, I’m looking at Mickey. Also, it looks like my belly is crooked in that shot in the middle. It may very well be. This kid doesn’t hang out in the the center of my uterus, he or she [...]

life is good

This is a picture my brother took of Kayloo on her new dog bed. I think between that and the fire this dog is pretty pleased with life.

pregnant chick: 32 weeks (time flying)

My belly at 32 weeks pregnant. Where, oh where does the time go? My head is buzzing at the moment. House has been repainted (pics to come). I have gone through almost every nook and cranny in this place trying to reclaim as much of our home as possible from random stuff: resorting, recycling, giving/throwing [...]

man and his dogs

End of the day with the dogs. Bliss.

pregnant chick: 31 weeks (emotional rollercoaster)

The 31 weeks pregnant bump is loud and proud, y’all! It is especially noticable when I bend down to pick up one of the gagillion things I drop on the floor each day. My facial expression looks a little pinched, doesn’t it? That’s because 14 seconds after these were taken I started crying (this meltdown [...]

early in the morning

This is a sunrise. I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but sunrises happen really early in the morning. For this reason I don’t see a lot of sunrises. I prefer to sleep through them. This was on the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver before Christmas. John and I were heading over to the Big Smoke [...]

caring bear stare

My family is visiting us to help with the painting right now. And this dog? This dog right here is an absolute hit with them. She may be rather crap on leash. She may slobber all over your face every damn time you bend down to tie your shoe. She may kind of smell regardless of [...]
