In the Bowdoin Home this Week

Sorry their won't be any personal pictures for a little while seeing as my computer's charge cord is no longer functioning and I am using other computer's to post. Anyway here's what is going on in the life of the Bowdoin family this week. Baby Bowdoin: This week the baby has a name. Her name will be Brynlee Claire Bowdoin. On Friday March 6th I started to feel like I was carrying more weight than usual. A week later Friday March 13th I took a bath and after getting out she felt uncomfortably low, my lower stomach was stretched tight and it was painful. She was definitely lower than before. After the pain subsided I went to bed. The next morning she seemed to have moved back up. but since then when she moves (which is A LOT!!!!) all the movement is much lower and much more pronounced and a lot easier to feel.
The Move: Okay so as far as the move goes packing is taking longer than I thought it would. My husband isn't the most organized person. So I have several boxes of paper work to go through to make sure nothing important gets thrown away. We are going to end our lease at this apartment at the end of April and I have 3 weeks till I move to AZ. So slowly the house is being boxed and piled in to stuff for storage, stuff to go to Az, and stuff James may need. The house pretty much looks like a disaster area but that is to be expected while packing and cleaning. It's slow going but it's getting there.

Cowgirl: The other night we came home after going out for dinner and found sharp pieces of a pen on the floor. It was obvious Cowgirl had consumed most of the pen. The few pieces that where left when we got home where very sharp, sharp enough that James and I worried that she may have torn up her insides pretty badly. So that night we took her food bowl and emptied it into her food bin. The next morning she was given rice, plain white rice. Cowgirl did not like this idea. That night James added a little cheese to the rice. The next day we added cooked chicken to the rice, she liked this a lot better. She has now been on the rice and chicken diet for a little while and really likes this idea but tonight she returns to dog food... we'll see how well that goes over. lol


James: Yesterday James started his training in Santa Fe. So far he has been able to go back and forth between there and home. That will change off and on over the next 3 weeks but he anticipates being home for Easter weekend. I love James so much. He is and amazing man and will be the most amazing Father. He already loves Brynlee so much and I know it is tearing him up to have to be away from her and I for so long. He knows we will be well taken care of and we are taking other steps as well so he will worry less while he is away. I know he worries already but I am hoping that this will be a smooth transition over the next few months so that both James and I can be a little more comfortable with the idea of being apart.

Seems like everything is coming together for y'all, and what a nice, unique name for Lil' Miss Bowdoin. As for Cowgirl, we had a similar instance happen with Guido, but his was a giant paint chip...much too big for a 7 week old puppy. After boiled chicken breast and rice (and puking up that giant chip), he was back to his fat self in no time...she'll be ok.
