Introducing Mr. Bodhi W.K. Pierce

Just a question to throw out there!!!

The company my brother works for had a customer the other day come in claiming to be a witch...she was mad as can be...very rude! After the workers finished with her order...she went into the restroom and pooped under the sink...and urinated all over the floor. Assuming this woman isn't crazy (which I think she is a loony)...is there any kind of spell involving poop? This doesn't sound like any of the Wiccan people I know. They are just laughing saying she's crazy too. Just wondering...it was simply to funny of a story not to try and investigate further. Let me know if anyone can dig up anything.

Yet another quick baby update

Bodhi Pierce has yet to make his big appearance. I'm starting to get worried that the longer he stays in utero...the larger he will be. I don't won't a 20 pound baby coming out of me!!! Sean thinks Bodhi is already a 10 pounder. Very likely...I've gained right at 55 pounds with this pregnancy. Anyways...I go to the Dr. on Monday (11/26) and the Dr. will either set up an afternoon inducing...or early morning time for Tuesday. He's running out of time though...his Nona Kathy arrives on Weds to see him. She's flying in all the way from NY...he better be here. As of today he is officially 1 week late. We suspect he didn't want Nona to miss too much of the early bonding time...which if that is his reasoning...it's perfectly fine that he is late. I am excited that she might make it down for his birth.

Green & Esther

Here they are! The happy couple!

Last night we all went out to dinner. Green has won over the hearts of all of us down here in SC. It's not my place to blog about their lives...but since they have left EVERYONE hanging...at least know that everything seems to be going extremely well!

Quick Update

As of Friday at 10pm...no baby...no labor pains YET! He's due Sunday...and it looks like he is going to take his own sweet time. Just like his mother he is procrastinating to the last possible moment. The ironic thing about Mr. Bodhi waiting until the last moment is the stress he is making everyone go through...except me (I'm not stressed, just overly ready). My mother seems to be the most stressed! The woman can't wait any longer to be a grandmother.

Another Week!!!! Ahhhh

I went to the Dr. half expecting to set up a time to be induced. NOPE! Probably another week! OMG! I hardly slept last night because my hips hurt so bad. I woke up at least 10 times to use the restroom. And the worst of it is that my mind wants to do all these things...but my body is in a state of constant protest!!! AHHHHH! Come on Bodhi...join the world and bring a peace that only you can bring to your mother.

Belly movement

This is kinda weird...but if you look really carefully at this video...you can watch Bodhi dancing around in the womb!

He is due to make his big showing in 7 days. And YES...I am tired of being pregnant and Sean is probably really tired of my mood swings...LOL! He has been wonderful through this whole journey. I'm mainly suffering at night now. My hips and joints hurt and I toss and turn all night long. Not to mention getting up every 20 minutes to use the little girls room.

Today my mother and I headed out around 6:30 am on a toy quest. A lot of yardsales claimed to have baby toys. We hit the jackpot on our last stop. My mother's whole SUV was packed full! I bought some books and then a lot of visual Baby Einstein kind of stuff. She bought larger items for when he is 18months or so (bball hoop, little tiks car, etc.). Maybe that's why Bodhi moved and kicked around ALL day today. He hasn't stopped! He's so excited about all his new loot. Sean took one look and freaked out exclaiming, "Where are we going to put all that?" He was okay with all the new stuff when he saw the book, I Love Daddy Because.

The Money Shot

Here is it...my belly! I have gained 48 pounds with my pregnancy!!! AHHH!

A tragic...emotional day

Our tabby cat, Gabby, has been under the weather for over a week now. It all started when we adopted Chanterelle from the Humane Society. She gave all our other cats an upper respiratory infection. It seemed to be hitting Gabby the worst. Novalee has just been walking around sneezing. Poor Gabby started drooling and hadn't moved or eaten/drunken for several days. I took her to the vet on Halloween and got medication for what was then diagnosed as the upper respiratory...Gabby just being hit harder than the others. Usually this kind of thing can be kicked by a Lysine treatment which is something everybody went on a week ago and then lots of rest. Today, Saturday, Gabby's condition hadn't improved. We hadn't seen her eat or drink in days...she would sit in one spot for hour starring at the floor as she foamed at the mouth. If you moved your hand in front of her...her eyes wouldn't follow. We decided to take her back to the vet for further examining. They did blood work and x-rays to determine that she has a blood parasite that not only can be deadly, but has helped in shutting down her kidneys. I'm not even going to pretend to understand all the Vet talk...but basically some blood level thing should be between 10-30...serious issues happen at 100...and Gabby's were off the chart at 230+. Obviously this had nothing to do with an upper respiratory infection like everyone assumed. Our vet recommended sending her to the emergency center to be monitored over the weekend and put on an IV drip with medicine and nutrition. We were told that if the parasite came from a flea then she would bounce back in a few days...if the parasite was from a tick...she had maybe a day or two to live. STRESS!!!
At the emergency center...the vet there was very alarmed at her condition and seemed to disagree that this was a blood parasite. He tested her immediately for Leukemia and Aids. He said that with the blood test her kidneys had already failed and it doesn't look good.
Talk about being in shock...we knew our Gabby was sick...but we expected to take her in today mainly for some IV nutrition. Right now she is being kept at the center to see if re hydration is even possible. Kidney failure isn't really fixable...she didn't test positive to Leukemia or Aids, but we were given a grave outlook. I have to call back around 8 this evening to see if there has been any change. If not, Gabby has to be put to sleep. There is no doubt about the amount of pain she is in the Dr. warned. It's all just happening too fast to take in. I feel so helpless and ignorant to what is going on. I tried to do some research online, but have come up with no explanation. Nobody can explain why her kidneys have failed and why it all happened so quickly. At least Leukemia could have shed some light on that.

Well...dammit!!

So I am new to blogging and very new to buying stuff on eBay. EBay is evil because you cannot return something if you realize it was a HUGE mistake. Sean's birthday was Halloween and I bought him an A-Rod jersey...very classy...beautiful jersey! Anybody who follows sports can quickly sympathize for me on what a tragic gift this turned out to be. (A-Rod left the Yankee's and is a traitor in our eye-greedy Bastard) Sean had some class about reacting to it..."well..umm...we could take off the number and put a money sign." So many players I could have picked...so many ways to have won his heart over...and I pick the ONE...the only...A-Rod! At least we have a new dust rag for cleaning!!! Sean is awesome...he sees the humor in every situation.
Just a quick list of things I will be blogging on: Chanterelle, Miss Tila, marriage, poor Gabby, party, waiting and wanting to give birth, Mr. James P., Why does Sean believe in Vampires???, and my dear friend Jen w. (this will be good)-I will be comparing her to a cartoon character
