Well, I suck. I'm bad at this. I never lied and said I'd be good at it though! So Neener!
Anyways, I just updated Ryan and my family blog with the recent news that's fit to print, so I'll refer you there for baby updates/news... Hangin' with the Wiley Willi's.
Outside of that, the only other stuff to report in is the usual what we've been up to, I guess... August is always a crazy month for us because we have lots of birthdays to celebrate and my parents usually come visit in August! This year has been no different! I had my birthday on the 3rd and it was a wonderful day made super special by my fabulous husband, full on with taking me out to brunch in the morning and then to the driving range and shopping in the afternoon, then even out for ice-cream later that evening! Fabulous. I returned the favor for him on the 17th for his birthday... we both took both days off, and for his birthday we went out to eat and we went on a tour of Coors Field that was AWESOME! Here's a picture of Ryan being the team manager in the dugout, and then one of the two of us on the field... so cool!
My parents did indeed come out this month, too... they arrived on Saturday the 8th and stayed till Friday the 14th. We had a wonderful time with them, and here's the scary proof. HAHAHA! If you're ever in the Denver area and would like to try some true game, head to The Fort in Morrison, so fun! and delicious!!! (They DO have normal meats and even a vegetarian option for the less adventurous!)
The day my parents left we went on our posse's annual August Birthday Camping Trip and had a wonderful weekend at Blue Mountain Campground. It's just south of Lake George off of Hwy 24 in the Pike Forest. If you're ever looking for a nice place to camp, this is it. It was wonderful and relaxing, and also nice to spend a weekend away from the pace of life, with our friends.
This coming weekend I'm heading to the Berkshires because my dear old friend Becky from middle and high school is getting married! YAY! Saturday the 29th. I cannot wait! I need to go find a dress today at some point to wear to this event!
Hmm, what else? Oh, Milo can't poop and we're worried about him... :( We noticed on Saturday morning that he was going to the bathroom REALLY often, but nothing was coming out… we thought it was a prostate problem or something and that he couldn’t pee, and when we called the vet she thought that it could be a urinary blockage which is common in male kitties… and apparently can be life threatening, so off we went to the animal emergency clinic (not cheap) and they took some radiographs (xrays or something, I guess) that showed no urinary blockage, but that he was literally full of shit. :( So he stayed with them and they gave him 1 enema, that didn’t work, so they gave him another… poor basturd… and then he STILL didn’t “produce” anything… so they sent him home saying maybe he’ll go at home… that was at 9pm Saturday… and we separated the kitties into different areas of the house and gave them each their own litter box and low and behold, Sunday morning, still nothing from Milo… omg, how is that even possible? Well, then by 2pm yesterday the doc called to see if he had gone yet and I said no and she said to bring him back in and so they gave him ANOTHER enema (yes, that’s THREE)… and then took more pictures and the good news was that the poo had moved all the way down and is ready to come out… but the bad news is he’s not pushin’ it out… ARGH!!! Why not!?! So again at 9pm last night we picked him up and came home… still no poop this morning… ?!?!?!?!?! UGGGHHH… I hope he doesn’t have the worst-case scenario which is called “mega-colon” and means that his colon isn’t doing it’s contraction job and helping him go… cuz that could be life-ending… :( So C’MON MILO!!! POOP!!!!
So that was the excitement of our weekend… good times! Ugh. Poor little guy. I hope he goes soon… I really do. They gave us some drugs for him to take, one is a kind of stool softener that we’re giving him, and the other that we pick up today at some pet pharmacy is an intestinal stimulant that will cause the colon/et al to contract and hopefully will force him to push that stuff outta there… so here’s to hoping… however, if he doesn’t go on his own, it’s further indication that it could be mega-colon… :( Please no. He’s still a young spry kitty… not a geriatric kitty on the brink of phoning it in… I can't even consider that. Nope!
So there you have it, I don't write for forever, and then I end on a shitty note... HAHAHA!
Here's a picture of my cute little non-shitter... gotta love him...
until next time I decide to catch you up...
