Tenacious
Tenacious does indeed have a urinary tract infection - thankfully we caught it in time and he only has to be on antibiotics for 2 weeks... That should take care of the issue and hopefully no more finding him peeing in inappropriate places.
I've been busy
So, Abigail Grace was born two months ago on June 25 at 7:11 pm. She is absolutely beautiful...
We had some crazy circumstances befall us at that time. Zech was laid off on June 19, so I was induced a week early. After approximately 12 hours of labor and 2 of those being hard pushing, I couldn't push anymore and the doctor used suction to help me deliver her. I enjoyed the first 2 weeks of getting semi-waited on at home and then on July 9 at 3 am while I was feeding Abigail, I started hemorraging. 1 amublance ride and emergency surgery later, we thought all was ok and I was headed home again. That Sunday, I woke up with the chills - running a temp of 100.4 - and ended up back in the emergency room with an infection in my uterus. After 2 1/2 days of IV antibiotics I finally got to come home for good. Abigail was a trooper through it all. We have been home with no more ER visits and a clean bill of health from the doctor for 3 1/2 weeks thank Jesus.
Yesterday was Abigail's 2 month doctor's appt. so I had to watch the nurse stick my baby 3 times. Shots really suck. But thankfully she was again a trooper and the nurse let me be the good guy - I didn't have to hold her while she got her shots and I got to pick her up after and comfort. The hardest part about the rest of the day was that she didn't want to be put down at all - and she didn't really want Daddy either so I ended up holding her most of the day and I'm not entirely sure when I might actually get to go to sleep tonight since I was trying to get homework done earlier while she was actually sleeping in her bed.
We also figured out that our male cat, Tenacious, probably as a urinary tract infection. So this morning we have a vet appt to have him examined. I hope we caught it early, because apparently UTI's in cats are really bad and can cause a bunch of other problems, most of which require surgery to correct. If that's the case - I don't know what we'll do - we may have to put him down, since we can't afford to spend a lot of money on a cat right now. I don't want to have to do that - he's part of the family and is a great cat... but I don't want him to suffer either and I don't want him squatting all over my house and stuff.
Please pray that Zech and/or I find jobs - we are starting to get on each others nerves because we're together so much.
Well, I'm going to attempt to get some sleep.
