"The last time Joey was in a meadow, his mom was being shot at."

Welcome to the second trimester! We made it! At this point, the risk for miscarriage drops significantly, and the baby begins dramatic growth and maturity. Peanut is growing eyelashes and eyebrows that are white and his/her skin is red. I imagine it to look like a very tiny version of Kate before she puts her "face on". I heart you albee.
The puppies are getting their first real bath this weekend, as their temperature has now stabilized, and Maggie is pretty smelly too. I foresee a lake bath with everyone angry with me when its over. Luckily, with such small brains, they will forget how mean I am and go back to snuggling as soon as they are dry and warm(and smelling like a meadow).
