These are my babies- Jasmine (black lab mix) and Ruby (chow-lab mix.) We have had Jasmine for over 6 years (Wow, that's hard to believe) and Ruby for about 8 months. She is still a puppy- just turned 1 last week! We're not sure how they are going to respond to Baby James. Jasmine does well around children- little ones at least- and Ruby is afraid of them (and everything else!) So far they have not bothered any of the baby stuff that all over the house, so we'll see. Only a few more weeks until we get meet our son. My feelings about that change hourly. (Sometimes by the minute!) I am so excited- but nervous. I am thrilled- but terrified. Have we got everything we need? I think so- but who knows? I took the breast feeding class that our hospital offers. It was really interesting- but I think I learned more about the medical research around breast milk than the actual act of breast feeding. Luckily, the hospital has people that will work with you if there are problems, even (or I guess I should say especially) after you go home.
I am really starting to wonder what James will be like. Will he have red hair like Jason? Will he have my complexion? Will he love music like both his Mom and Dad? I guess I'll just have to wait- but not for long! Only 5 weeks until my due date- but he has dropped a little already! :) Sometimes it feels like I've been pregnant forever- sometimes it feels like the time has flown by.
