T's Photo Shoot

I know, I know, I know, I desperately need to update this blog with everything from his birth until...gasp!...his 1 month birthday!!! I can't believe he's a month old already!

Here's the link to the sign in page. The password is: tarleton072709 (If for some reason the link didn't take you to the "Client Page" you can select it from the sidebar on the left of the screen.)

I think they're all fabulous (but I'm a little biased). He did start getting blotchy and unfortunately started peeling skin THAT morning...but he's still adorable.

Enjoy!

Pictures...

Ok, so I know I posted the "Sneak Peak" and got you all excited to see the maternity pictures...I don't know if I'm going to publically post them.

I haven't decided yet. The photographer can privatize certain photos but so many of the ones I think came out beautifully and would want to share, I'm self-conscious about giving an unknown amount of people access to see. I guess I'm more modest than I really ever thought I was!!

Right now, I'm going to keep them private. Luckily D was able to access the private gallery from "over yonder" so I was really happy that we could share in what we thought about them and which one was his favorite.

What I'm probably going to do is post the link and password a couple days before it's set to expire so I can limit, at least, how long people will have to view them...so check back closer to the beginning of August!

Pictures from the far East...

Over the last couple of months D has sent a few pictures of his grand adventure in the great big sand box. Unfortunately he can't log into our blog himself or otherwise I'm sure he'd have much more interesting things to say with these pictures (and probably more pictures) than the captions he sends to me. For the time being I'll do the best I can. Maybe when he gets home I can convince him to sit down and do a post all about his trip.

The dates over the photos are the dates he sent them to me, not necessarily the dates he took the picture. For the ones with dates and locations - again it's the date he sent the picture to me and the location he says it was taken. If it happens to be the same date as another picture that has a location attached, please don't assume it's in the same location! I have no idea and if D didn't specify it's probably not the same location!

Luna and T updates...

Luna - bloodwork came back and she can't safely undergo surgery, just like I kind of thought. So I can stop feeling guilty about not being able to afford it and debating whether we'd have it done even if we could afford it. So for the meantime we're going to keep her on anti-inflamatory meds to help with swelling and hope that nature helps her little knees grow some scar tissue that will actually aid in her ability to walk as normal as she possibly could. The vet would still like to address her heartworm issue, but at least is understanding that 1. can't really do that expense either at the moment and 2. even if we could life is going to be too hectic over the next couple months and heartworm treatment requires an animal to be completely immobile for several weeks. Depending on the treatment cost, it may be possible once life settles down into a "routine" of sorts. But in the mean time, we'll just continue to give her Heartguard and hope for the best. She seems to be as happy as she's ever been since I've been paying her even more attention than she normally gets. :-) Not to mention all the extra treats so I can hide her meds in them.

Baby T - I went in for my 36 week appointment on Tuesday and T is just about as head down as he could possibly get without making his grand entrance! I was pretty excited to be able to relay that news to D and nervous since this means that we're really hitting the home stretch now!! I keep having discussions with him about timing...any time after July 16th is okay with me. We'll see how well he "obeys" mommy's first request of him!
