Update

It's Saturday morning, and I'm up with Sadie. Jeff has been getting up with her every day, so I can sleep, and it's been so nice. He deserves a break. I feel like a little kid that can finally do anything I want, because everyone else is asleep. So I'm eating candy corn for breakfast. I eat candy corn for breakfast every day, but today it feels more bad.

Sadie is doing so good with her training. The puppy classes have really helped. So far she can sit, lay down, stay, jump, and be nice (kind of). She's also doing tons better with biting. She still bites, but she'll stop if you tell her to . You can tell it's hard for her, because sometimes she'll still put her mouth on you and growl, or she'll whine when you tell her to stop. It's still an imrovement. We have alot to work on before the baby comes. I still expect her to be a hyper puppy, but I want her to really have not biting and being gentle down. I never thought I'd be one of those people that acts like my dog is my child, but here I am. Jeff talks to her in a baby voice though, so if you want to hate someone hate him.

Gracie is getting bigger and bigger. That's just a more positive way of saying I'm getting bigger and bigger. She's kicking and moving around all the time. Sometimes we just sit and watch my stomach move all over, and try to guess what she's doing in there. I'm finally starting to feel the uncomfortableness of being pregnant. A couple days ago I tried climbing through a fence, and got stuck. My stomach is really starting to get in the way. One of the things I'm looking forward to the most is being able to bend over again. We're getting really excited for baby to come. Only two more months. We've started working on her room, and buying some baby clothes. We really want to go all out, and paint her room, and buy new furniture, but we decided to be more practical and use what we have, so we're borrowing a crib from my sister, and using a small dresser that we've had in our guest room. We did buy a rocking chair, so I'm excited about that. We could still paint, but we're only in our contract here for 9 months, so by the time Grace comes we'll only have 5 months left, and we'd have to paint it all back. We'll still make it cute though. I'll post pictures when we're done. Well that's all for now. Sadie is crying to go see Jeff.

I can understand getting to attached to that dog. She's adorable! Just don't forget that she's going to get all jealous and pissy when the baby comes.

Then I guess we'll just have to give the baby back. Just kidding. That's not funny..
