Well my 1st diabetes test came back positive so they made me do the 4 hour test yesterday. Man was I thirsty by the time it was done. I am used to drinking a couple bottles of water by noon and I couldn't eat or drink anything. But I just got a call from the Dr. office and they said everything is fine. So I don't have that to worry about. I thought man if I have that I am going to have a huge baby. They said that is one of the side effects and I am sure I will already end up with a 10 lb boy. Things are still going good. I have just been extremely tired but they said my iron was very low so they put me on a prescription. So hopefully that will help a little with that. It is just so darn hot down here. I don't last outside very long.
Izzy is feeling better. She is now chasing Macamoe and Tweek around the house. She is having a good time but they sure aren't. Mac finally popped her upside the head. And Mac is very protective of her blanket. She won't let Izzy on it at all. It is funny. Tweek runs and hides from her. I think they liked it better when she was slow moving and sleeping all the time. Izzy had her first minor injury when Chris got her in the back of the recliner chair. I think it just scared her and me. She is just so darn small and gets in bad places. But I am sure she will be bigger soon.
Chris got the nursery painted today. It is bright blue. It will look good when we get everything in it. I think Chris has had enough of painting. But we are good for now. I will do the bathrooms after Kane is born and then we will be all done. House is looking really good. Chris has done a great job.

Kane Update
Went to the Dr today for monthly checkup. Everything looks good. He is going to be a big baby. Imagine that. They guessed that he weights about 2 lbs 9 ozs already. She said my belly measures a week ahead of where I am. He was stubborn today and we didn't get any good ultrasound pictures. He had his back to us and didn't want to turn over. I had my diabetes test today also, but won't get results for a couple days. That drink wasn't nearly as bad as everyone made it sound. It just tasted like flat sprite. It was the warm part that I didn't like. I like all my drinks ice cold. I didn't gain any weight last month. That made me happy. Starting to get a bit nervous. Seems like it is getting close fast.
Izzy & Macamoe
Macamoe has come around. She will hang out with Izzy now. But still doesn't want to eat at the same time as Izzy. We have had a rough couple days with Izzy. On Friday we took her to the vet for a checkup to make sure she was healthy. The vet said she looked good. All her blood tests came back negative but she had a little cold. Vet said she was taken away from her mom to young so her system was weak. She is only about 6 weeks old. Over the weekend it turned into a respiratory infection. I wasn't prepared to deal with sick kitten so soon after Marvin being sick. 1st thing Monday morning I took her back to the vet. They gave her an iv and some steroids. The last 3 days I had to feed and water her with a syringe. Because kittens won't eat if they can't smell. I wish it was that simple for humans. But this morning we had a breakthrough. She ate like a crazy cat. She has eaten 3 times today. She still sounds wheezy but at least she is eating and drinking now. I think I am being trained for Kane. We did the sauna in the bathroom thing this weekend trying to clear up her congestion. My friend said just get ready for when the baby starts having these issues. This afternoon she charged at Macamoe. Mac didn't care for that to much. I think another day or two she will be acting like a kitten again.

New addition to family...Izzy
Well I ended up with the 1st kitten that loved on me. I named her Izzy. She is so tiny. She is only like 6 weeks old. We got her at the pound. I was holding her and she was purring like crazy. I ended up holding her the entire time we were looking at other kittens and cats there were so many of them. Then the guy came in and asked if we found one and I was like this one and left the room. I don't think it was the one Chris wanted. That was a horrible trip. I ended up crying. There were so many cats wanting attention. Then there was one big one that looked like Marvin and I wanted him so bad but I knew there was no way Macamoe would take to an adult. I just think it is horrible to see the adult cats because they were probably loved at one time and now they are just stuck in a cage. I ended up crying a couple times that day. It was rough. Macamoe isn't to happy about this one but she ended up sleeping with her in bed with us and didn't know it. Mac hasn't tried to attack her but does growl. She is sitting closer to her now so we are making progress. I wasn't going to let the kitten sleep with us because I didn't want to upset Macamoe. She sleeps with us every night. But within 5 minutes of being in bed she found us. She is so small though it scares me sleeping with her. She wants to wedge herself right up to Chris' back. I keep waking up to make sure he hasn't rolled over on her. She is an absolute lover. Chris thinks she was a great pick now. But we created a monster already because every time she would cry we picked her up so now she wants to be held all the time. She loves to lay on your chest. She has stripes like Macamoe but has white feet, belly, and nose/chin. One of her legs is orange stripped and she has orange spots. She goes to the vet tomorrow to get checked out really good. I am not looking forward to going back to that place. I started crying just making the appointment because the girl was like oh I am so sorry about Marvin. They loved him there. Chris said I need to wear a sign that says don't mention Marvin. I am going to see if they can trim her little claws because she keeps getting hung up on blankets and stuff.
