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.
