Lots going on...

Sorry to have been MIA this past week. We've had lots going on and I haven't had much time to check in here.

The hubby is away on business through Thursday which isn't terribly fun. Especially when you're home minding two little ones while 6+ months pregnant. It's also a drag that he's at this GORGEOUS hotel in San Diego - where they upgraded him for free to one of these exclusive private villas. All kinds of luxury amenities perfect for a romantic getaway. Unfortunately, it seems he picked up either some sort of nasty stomach bug or actual food poisoning from the "food" he was given on the plane. Which was really a glorified combination of every nasty pre-pack snack in the convenience store. Beef jerky, chips, honey roasted peanuts and shortbread cookies anyone? I mean, I know airline food never had the best reputation, but we have sunk to a new low here. So my poor guy is suffering over 3000 miles away, and there's nothing I can do about it. :(

To top off the reasons for sadness, we turned Milo over to a Corgi adoption agency yesterday. It was a VERY difficult and tearful decision, but in the end, we feel - the right one. When we got Milo, we had no plans for a 3rd child, and he essentially became our third child. Dogs are a wee bit more demanding than cats!! Now with Liam on the way, we knew that both Liam and Milo wouldn't get the attention they required if Milo were to stay. But we found a GREAT agency here in eastern NY, and they work specifically to place Pembroke Welsh Corgis in homes that want them. There's currently 8 applicants where they think Milo would be a great fit- applicants who have been waiting for months and longer in some cases to get the perfect canine companion. So, Milo went to his temporary home yesterday with the agency owner while he's waiting to be placed, and I even heard him bark in the background once or twice over the phone during a check-in call just to let me know "everything's okay, Mom." I have the utmost confidence that he will find a loving and suitable home... although I'm still sad not to see his eyes when I turn the corner, and I'm having a hard time saying things to the kids like "Milo doesn't live here anymore." But they're doing well with it, and things should smooth over soon.

At any rate - I'm not sure if I'll be on here more or less with Nick gone... but that's what I've been up to lately. Miss you all!
