Our Four-Legged Children

This post is going to be a little different than my other ones.  It is still about being pregnant but it is also about my four legged children! For those who don’t know we have two dogs Wyatt and Zoey. They can be little demon dogs at times but for the most part they are pretty sweet little babies! Ever since I found out I was pregnant Wyatt and Zoey have been acting really weird around me. At first before discovering my magic pill, a.k.a Zofran, every time that I ran to the bathroom to throw up, Wyatt and Zoey were both at my side during the whole thing. They stayed in the bathroom with me until I was done throwing up; almost as if they were taking care of me or making sure I was ok. It was the sweetest thing ever. Many nights, during the biggest part of my ride on the emotional coaster, I would cry either over something stupid or from being so sick and every time both dogs would lay right next to me in bed until I was done crying. I know this probably sounds dumb to most people but I honestly think that they know that I am pregnant somehow or that there is something growing inside my belly. One night Keith and I had just gotten home from running around in Sherman and Wyatt could not sniff my belly enough. He literally rubbed his nose all over my entire belly. Everywhere I go in the house Wyatt and Zoey follow me. I can’t even go to the bathroom without them following me in there lol. Sometimes I will go in the bedroom and sit on the bed and read or talk on the phone and Keith will be in the living room, the dogs will both be lying on the bed with me. Even though Keith is only in the other room they never leave my side.  It is the weirdest thing I have ever seen! The reason I am writing this blog now is because on the way home from work last night Keith was telling me about the dogs acting very weird all day. He said it was almost like they were depressed or something. I asked him why he thought that and he said it was because the whole day yesterday both Wyatt and Zoey did not leave the front door. Keith said they would leave only to go outside for a little while but then come right back in and lay at the front door. And the other times they left were to go get a drink of water but immediately return back to the front door. As soon as we got home we could see through the glass door Wyatt running circles and Zoey bouncing off the walls. We walk in and they were SOO happy to see me. They were crying and jumping all over the place and then when I sat on the couch they were all over me! Then the next thing we know they are running through the house chasing each other and playing. I looked at Keith and said, “They don’t look too depressed to me” and he told me that they hadn’t done that all day. They just missed their mom I guess <3 Tonight Keith was rubbing my belly because Hadlee was moving all around and Wyatt came and layed his head on my leg and Zoey was of course in her "spot" perched on the top of the couch above my head. I love my little family and can't wait for Hadlee to be here! All I can say is Hadlee will have the best big brother and big sister EVER! If they take as much care of her as they do of me then she will be one lucky little girl!
