I was having minor anxiety all day yesterday because my previously super active little man (have been feeling outside kicks since 17w) had barely moved in two days. I know it's normal for movement to be sporadic at this point, so I was trying not to overreact. Then I read the 'I'll never...' post before bed last night, and dreamed off screaming toddlers and pregnancy complications all night long.
On an unrelated note. I have a 2 yo Doberman Pincher who is our first baby. We adore her. She's been having incontinence issues for awhile, and her vet took her off her estrogen pill and instead gave her a hormone injection before we came up to IL. She was doing great with zero leaking until two days ago when the flood gates opened. It's worse than ever, so my poor dog has been in a diaper with a damn maxi pad for added protection for the last two days.
When we go back to TX on Wednesday, Izarra is staying here with the IL's because I can't have her at my mom's in MN (


). DH is having separation issues, and decided she needed to sleep with us one last time. So, against my protests and logic, he has her in bed all night. I wake up from batshitcrazy baby dreams for the 6th time at 5:30am and feel wetness by my feet. The dog leaked through her diaper and was laying next to a HUGE wet spot.
So, I bust out the rug shampooer and try to save the damn bed still half asleep and trying not to be mad at Izarra while DH just sits there and says, "maybe we (we?!) should have kept her crate".
Tired and flipping crabby. On the plus side, my extra strong cup o' joe got the baby moving this morning. Off to find a local vet.
Re: Long night (long post) -- mildly NBR
Your poor, poor puppy.
Glad your baby is moving again!
So sorry for your puppy and especially you, that doesn't sound fun!
