Scary afternoon

Today started out to be a good day. A friend and I spent the afternoon together "having an adventure". Once we got home the adventure really began!! 

My poor baby Roo was wet like he had been playing in his water bowl. This time was completely different. He had his tail between his legs and was shaking. All the sudden he started to hack up flemmy blood. I freaked out and started to cry I didn't know what to do. Thank god my friend was here!!!! After calling a few vets we loaded up in the car and took Roo to a vet. 

They tester him for parvo. Even tho I knew there was no chance he could have it, it was still scary. It was just that thought that my baby could have that. Thank god he tested negative for that.  Finally the vet saw us. My baby weighs 6.4lbs. No fever. Nothing is lodged in his throat or in his belly. The outcome is he either has a flu or eat something that irritated his throat/tummy. So they gave him 3 shots; an anti inflammatory, antibiotic and something to make him stop hacking. As well as meds to bring home to help settle his belly. So he's on a bland diet for the next few days. 

He's now going through the drowsy side effects of the shots. He's being a big cuddle bug. I feel so bad that there's nothing I can do to make him feel better. 

Catch up

So it's been about 2 weeks since I last posted. I know I know I need to stop letting life get in the way. I got through these times were I say "I can post tomorrow" but tomorrow never comes. So since I'm on a new sleeping schedule due to work there's no time like the present. So since this post will be a catch up post I figured I would use bullets since we all know I can get off topic easily. Lol

• Work, what can I say about this.... I love my new job. I am a Guest Servies Rep at the Inn here on base and couldn't be happier!!!! Only down said is the hours, 3-midnight. So I usually can't fall asleep until 2am at the earliest. But for the most part it's the same hours that A works. 

• The Air Force Ball. OMG that was such an amazing experience to get to go. It was so nice and fun. Being able to dress up and go out with my husband is not an everyday thing. 

• ALS (Airman Leadership School) A started ALS this past week and while he's in that we are pretty much going to see each other in passing for the most part. I am so proud of him for making Staff. Our pooches aren't understanding the fact that daddy has homework and can't play with them. 

• Countdowns

I am beyond excited for both of these!!!! I'm getting crafty and making Minnie Mouse costumes since we will be there for Halloween. 
I CANNOT wait to see my daddy!!!! I am so glad that he's getting to come spend time with is for thanksgiving!!!! It's definitely going to be bitter sweet though. Just another gut check that mama won't be here. 

• MY BESTIE IS ENGAGED!!!!!!! 

• We have officially started the process to have a baby. I am in a different age group so I naturally don't produce the levels of folic acid that the baby would need as well as being anemic. So we have stopped taking birth control and now taking prenatals to help get those levels up. This next month is busy with ALS and Disney so I don't see us actually getting pregnant until Nov at the soonest. Although it would be awesome to find out at Disney. But I highly doubt it. I was on BC for a long time so our busy month is pretty much giving my body the time to get that out of my system as well as getting my folic acid and iron levels up. 

Ok I think I talked your ear off so I'll end this post for now.  I'm gonna start a new thing where I end every post with and inspirational quote.
