This is my husband's favorite holiday! I'm not sure that I ever even celebrated it before I was married.
So, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, we will be having cabbage and pork chops for dinner. We normally have potatoes too, but since the doctor ordered me to watch my starches, no potatoes tonight.
I was wondering about the history of St. Patrick's Day and found this link: http://www.history.com/topics/st-patricks-day . I should have know that it was because someone was murdered.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Don't forget to wear green, especially shamrocks.

Busy....Lazy....Whatever
So, I've been neglectful of writing for a while now. I can blame it on being busy or I could blame it on being lazy. I'm not sure which is the truth. Maybe a little bit of both.
We took Arnie to the Virginia Tech Vet Hospital because we have been noticing blood in his poo for almost 2 years. They did a bunch of tests and did an ultrasound. All tests came back normal. It looks like my dog is stressed. I guess he's so spoiled that the least little change makes him stressed out. They said the only other thing they could do was a colonoscopy. I don't think I'm going to put him through that since the vets don't think that there is much that the colonoscopy will show that the other tests don't indicate.
Meanwhile, we had to put my husband's dog of almost 14 years down. It was so sad. I guess the one good thing about it is that Oden was active until the last couple of days. When it is like that, you know that it is the right thing to do. He couldn't move anything but his head and he was bleeding from the nose. You could tell that he was scared and didn't know what was happening to him. The vet said that he probably had a blood clot with all that happened and how fast it occurred. I'm so thankful for the vet. He came out in the rain, afterhours. It was very nice of him.
I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. My blood glucose numbers have been low from the time I began keeping a diary of them 4 times a day. It definitely was a bad move to eat chocolate cake and drink orange soda the day before the test!
Next week we have our anatomy ultrasound. We're really excited about it! I'm at 17 weeks and this seems to be the longest months ever!
