Oh What a Weekend

We had a little "staycation" this weekend for a family wedding. We had so much fun with our family and friends. We even got some pool time in (hot hot hot). I had to get dressed up for the wedding which I was lucky enough to borrow my friends maternity dress which was so cute.

My fun filled weekend ended abruptly on Sunday. My poor dog, Baby, has been acting strange lately. I know her very well so I just knew something was wrong. The vet originally sent her home and said that it was stress related. Once I saw her on Sunday, I knew it was more than stress. She was shaking violently all night so after a tear-filled call to my parents we decided to take her to the ER vet Sunday night. We were there for hours, leaving around midnight. After some blood work and tests the vet gave her some pain meds and told us it was her liver and we were to schedule an ultra sound for her the next day.

Monday morning rolls around and it seems that the pain meds aren't working for her. I call our main vet and we were about to head over there when my car wouldn't start. Dead battery. After the help of my Dad and AAA I was able to get a new battery and get Baby to the vet. Ugh. My dog now had a pain patch attached to her and we're waiting for the results of another test. Vet thinks its pancreatitis.

What I have learned from all this is that it is ten times harder dealing with life's curve-balls while being pregnant. I thank God for my husband and my amazing parents. I just pray my puppy is going to be ok. And I can't imagine what it will be like when I'm dealing with my sick child, a hundred times harder.
