    A New Addition to the Herd

    Dear PT Friends,
    Things have been pretty bleak lately, since Binx, and I just haven't felt the same...about life, PT, everything, really. And, I have 'put off' telling you all of some positive things going on in my life. While I can't say for sure the cloud has lifted, I do find myself preparing for the next stage in my life- mommyhood. In September, I will be welcoming a little hooman into the world. At 38, this will be quite a shock for my house/life/world, but, one that I am excited about. I am about 4 months along, right now, and already feeling awkward. The sickness and sheer exhaustion part seem mainly out of the way, but, I still feel pretty tired much of the time. I am not quite ready for maternity clothes, but, my normal clothes are very, very tight.

    The best news is Lillycat is retiring at the end of this year, and will be a stay at home Grammy! Since she raised 8 of us, I have no doubt she will do wonders with my child. This should free her up to do more posting on PT, right?

    While I do NOT anticipate posting pics of my ever expanding tum-tum (lest some of you type *rub*rub*rub*), I will keep you updated as to the cool stuff (namely the gender!!!). I have had one ultrasound done already, due to my age and size, thank God, it was determined there was just one in this litter. I am not doing any additional testing, my choice, but, want to know the gender at the first available opportunity! I think that is still 5 weeks off.

    So, my quietness has been two fold, and will probably continue for awhile, but, I wanted you all to know what is going on with me.

    Johanna

    Aww Johanna, that's wonderful news! Congratulations!! I'm sure you can cope with a little new one - and your herd too!

    Looking forward to hear updates - and to see Lilycat back as well.

    Enjoy this precious time!

    Blessings on your head" and congratulations!

    I think August 21 would be a good day to have a baby. A little early but it has a nice ring to it!

    Couldn't have said it better, Aly!

    Wow, Jo, congratulations!!! I can't wait to see pics of him/her surrounded by black & white tuxies.

    Heee,heee, she/he isn't even near to being born yet and already I can see the pic of an adorable baby, dressed in a mini tuxedo surrounded, by furry tuxedos.

    Thanks, Guys! Wouldn't you all fall over if I did name the baby after a state name? I don't think I will be doing that. I have some names going on in my mind, but, am always open to suggestions. (Lily, Parker, Olivia...)

    As to the black and white outfit, it is a GREAT idea for next years Christmas card! he he he....I have had a few 'suggestions' about how to keep cats out of cribs...and, I hope it won't bother Minnie that she will be sharing her room and closet with a baby. Never know, this might push Minnie out of the closet, and into the rest of the house.
