puppy love

i have the cutest puppy in the world asleep on my arm right now- making it very difficult to type one handed. but it's okay because he is just so cute!!! i'm still at my sisters & having a very nice & relaxing visit. it's odd though to see first hand how difficult it can be for her- just an every day chore like grocery shopping wears her out. i really hope that by not working she can manage better.

i got to go out with them on my brother-in-laws boat yesterday on the James river- it's a little speed boat & so much fun! the puppy came too & went swimming- a little unwillingly, but he has a life jacket! i can't figure out where to plug my camera in- so pictures will have to wait until i get back home.



update: pictures are here!!! Nikolas the puppy after swimming, my sister, brother-in-law & the puppy, me on the boat relaxing!




my temperature has been slighlty higher overall than last month- which is good, but it's still a little low. we'll really just have to see, but i highly doubt this is it. i think our journey is a little longer yet. but this little vacation has allowed me to relax about ttc a bit. i can hang in a lot longer- i am sure that within 2 years from now we will have our child. and i can't be patient & wait a little longer. it could be worse- i could be on medication that would severly harm a pregnancy. i could be too tired to do laundry- much less chase a toddler. i could be the one trying to figure out how to live my life so that i can actually have one- not just nap through it. all in all- i am very lucky, and i am just comparing to my own sister, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people who have tings a lot harder than i do.

well- this puppy (who is an excellent cuddler) is getting heavier on my arm. time to snuggle a little more...
