Gracie's Bday present

Mmmhmm... Guess who found her way home last night?

You got it. Xena took the 'Lassie Come Home' movie to heart and made her way from North Jkson to South Jkson. A lady found her wandering through a nearby neighborhood and she still had our collar and tag on. I have no way to get ahold of the guy we had adopted her to.

Not that I think we could give her back at this point. She was hungry and thirsty. The pads of her feet are a little sore (from her journey I'm guessing) and she was pretty matted. Poor girl.

So just in time for Gracie's birthday, Thanksgiving, and family coming over Xena has come home, we're pretty sure to stay.

Happy Birthday Gracie Lea!

My sweet baby girl is 1 today!

A year ago today, at 9:30 I had my 34 week appt with Dr. Rehburg and he said I had finally gone from 3 cm to 4 but he wanted to see if I could last another day or so. I had been contracting for over 2 weeks and threatened to call and get his wife baby crazy (we were friends) if he didn't induce or stop the contractions because I didn't want to go into labour on Thanksgiving when he was out of town and I wanted my DH with me when our little girl was born but unless she was born during the daytime I would be completely by myself since DH would have to watch our 11 month old son. Sooooo... Rehburg induced and sweet Gracie Girl was born about 6 weeks early, but at almost 8 pounds! Can't imagine life without my sweet girl!
