House Sitting

The past 6 days we were house sitting for my boss. The last few times I house sat for him, his (2) dogs were there, not this time though. We had it pretty easy, all we had to do was make sure the flowers and plants were watered and keep the pool clean. We even took our cat, Buddy with us. I guess it was kinda like a family vacation, except I had to work all week. It was like our own resort house with pool, hot tub and mini golf course (offroad cart included). Even though it rained a few days, we still were able to have a couple of BBQ's with John, Shirley and their kids. It was nice to be able to host a party for once, being that our apartment is way too small. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Everyone that is except for Buddy. Buddy spent most of the time locked in the bedroom upstairs when we had company or when we slept. We were worried he would knock something over or eat the plants. On the second day our fears came true. It was Sunday evening after everyone left, Kara and I were sitting on the couch relaxing, watching TV. Buddy was roaming around free. We watched him pretty closely for a little while, he basicly just walked around and sniffed everything, then finally settled on the window sill staring at the birds and chipmunks. Our attention slowly drifted back to the TV... then it happened. We seen him move out of the corner of our eyes, by the time we turned our heads he was leaping off the window sill into the air towards the floor lamp with the full length paper lamp shade. His left paw made a medium size hole in the shade, which quickly turned in to a large hole, then it ripped completely off. With 3/4 of the shade lying on the floor Buddy had limped off in pain. It seemed he hurt the paw he's been holding up since he got declawed. The paw that the vet said nothing is wrong with, but yet he continues to favor it. So the lamp is broke and Buddy is hurt. He hisses and cries if we touch his paw. Now Kara is crying histarically because Buddy is crippled forever, at least that's what she thinks. Of course the next morning he is fine. So that's the story of our little vacation from home.

Our Baby's Heartbeat at 13 weeks

We went for Kara's 13 week check up today. We got to hear the heartbeat and was able to record it. The heart is beating at about 150 bpm, the doctor said that was good. Hopefully Kara will start to relax a little more now. The doctor told her she needs more calories and more fluids, about a gallon a day. This is why we were at the Emergency room at Genesys for 4 hours Wednesday night. She was having really bad abdominal pains so we went there just as a precaution. They gave her an IV to get fluids back in her. Apparently dehydration can cause bad cramps and also low potasium, which she had too. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat that night too. I'm thinking maybe Kara just wanted peace of mind to hear the baby a few days early. It's all good though. I was glad to hear it as well. We were a little worried at first though, the R.N. wasn't able to find the heartbeat at first, even he looked worried. He did find it though and it was an unforgettable moment to hear our baby for the first time. So anyways, everything is good and everyone is healthy!!
