Puppies & Snow!!

Posted on 1st February 2010 by Jessica in Family, Life, World of Warcraft

We brought another of RC’s parents’ Chihuahua dogs into our house on Wednesday January 27th because she was starting to leak milk out of her nipples. She was due to have her puppies around the beginning of February. We went ahead & brought her into town just in case she had them that day sometime because we go out there once a day to feed the chickens & pigs. So we got home, got her bed all fixed for her & stuff. Got the boys ready for to church (Connor goes with my mom & dad & Michael goes with my grandma.) and at about 7:45, RC went in to check on Missy, (the dog) and she was pushing, but fine. Around 8:00, I went in to check on her, and she had had the first puppy, who was a little girl & Michael named Tinkerbell. Tink for short. Around 8:45 she had the second puppy, which Michael got to witness. He thought it was soo cool & says they are tiny babies! Another little girl, who RC named Bandit. Around 9:30 the third puppy was born, a little boy who I named Rudy.

Here is a picture of them that night. I will try to take more of them tomorrow.

We noticed that She wasn’t really getting up & around, she wanted to just lay around & stuff. She was the same way the next day, on Thursday. On Friday night, one of the puppies started whining & Missy did too. She was laying on one of them & so RC got up & moved the puppy, while noticing that she was really hard in between her crotch & butt area. Which is where the birth canal is located on dogs, if you didn’t know. He got to checking her out & noticed that there was something there. He asked me what I thought it was, and I told him it looked like part of her insides, So he got to checking it out closer & then he said, “Oh My God, babe, I think it’s a nose.” Indeed, it was a nose and tongue. She had been in labor since Wednesday night with another puppy & still hadn’t had it. At the point that we noticed her, she had gone “out of labor” was not having any more contractions & was no longer pushing, so RC had to help her have the puppy, and pretty much deliver it himself. Poor little thing was already dead. I hate to say it, but I’m glad that it was the puppy and not Missy. If she would have died, chances are, Tink, Rudy & Bandit would have died also. The 4th puppy she had was about 8 1/2 inches long, where as the other 3 were only about 3.5-4 inches long. Puppy #4 was HUGE! 8.5 inches long & 2 inches wide at the head. :wow:

Okay.. For the snow in my subject! It started snowing on Thursday night during the night sometime.. By Friday night, we had 13 inches of snow on the ground! That is the MOST snow I believe I have ever seen here! Last year, around the same time, we had about 4 or 5 inches of ICE. That sucked!

In this picture, Michael had just picked up a huge glove full of snow and stuffed it in his mouth! You can see in the background that it was still coming down pretty hard! This was around 10-11 am I believe.

Connor really didn’t know what to think about the snow! Last year, he was a little too young to really be able to play in the snow & stuff.

I FINALLY got my paladin to level 80 on WoW!! I think it took me a total of like 5 months all together LOL! But I also worked on my hunter, death knight, and other toons in the process!

Have a good night. It’s midnight & I must head to bed!

19th & 20th places.

Posted on 18th January 2010 by Jessica in Bowling, Life

RC and I ended up getting 19th & 20th place in the tournament today, so we didn’t win money, but I am not disappointed in that! We hadn’t bowled since like May or June of 2009, and my highest game was a 218. My lowest was 125. I had a 131 average. I’m pretty happy about it.

So I have these bumps on my head. I haven’t hit my head or anything, in fact, they have been there for a while. From what I’ve been reading online, they are called Benign Lipoma. I think once I get my insurance card in, I’m going to go to a doctor and see if maybe they can’t take them off. It can be done in a doctor’s office, or even in out patient surgery. They would inject the area with a local anethestic and then cut it open, pop the knot out, and sew it back up with stitches. I have 2 or 3 of them. My mom has had to have them removed from her head also. They are supposedly genetic or hereditory or whatever you want to call it. They hurt, but not in a way that I absolutely can’t stand it. I do get chronic headaches & migraines from them. But I have been managing for the past 6 or 7 years. I’m just getting fed up with them. My head is always so tender & it does hurt when I brush my hair and the bristle things from the brush go over the bumps. There are 2 things I want to do when I get my insurance card. Contacts & get these bumps checked out. RC and I went Friday to do some things at the Division of Family & Senior Services office in our county & I went ahead & applied for insurance through Medicaid and we were accepted (the boys already had it & would have continued having it until they were 18) and I know I am able to get 2 year check ups with medicaid for my eyes & I haven’t had them checked since either right before or right after RC and I got married which was in March of 2007. I have wanted contacts for a LONG time, but have never called to get them priced & stuff. I will do that sometime with in the next 2 months! I have had glasses since I was in the first grade. I graduated high school in 2003, so if that tells you how long I’ve had them :lol: (I think I was in first grade in like 1990-1991 or so. – Yes, I’m old.-)

Did you watch the Golden Globe Awards? I did NOT!! Forgot they were on and to be honest.. Didn’t really care to watch them :lol:.

Everyone that I know right now who is pregnant is having a girl. It makes me want to get pregnant!! My sister in law is pregnant with a girl. A friend of mine is having a girl.. Gah!! But I know I must wait! I want to at least get through school. Or most of the way through anyways. I plan to start back in August.

As if the bumps on my head aren’t bad enough.. I woke up one morning with a dry itchy spot on my back. I just figured it was dry skin, so I was putting lotion on it to moisten it up & stuff. About a week later, I noticed I was getting them on my stomach & the rest of my back. I made an appointment with the doctor & she took ONE look at them & said they were Ringworm. Where in the HELL would I have gotten ringworm at? I have no cats. She gave me some creame to put on them & it seems to be drying them up quite a bit. Anyways they don’t itch NEARLY as bad as they did.

Okay, I am rambling & stuff. Getting tired :jumpy:
