The good things first. We signed the contracts on the Co op on Friday! Writing that check for 10% was so scary!! Hopefully we'll be closing by the beginning of October and moving by the middle of the month.
The girls are moving so much lately! It's really amazing! Pete got to feel a kick for the first time the other day. He was really excited by it. I told him how they are moving and kicking me all the time and he said "those are MY girls, I knew they'd be cool".. lol.
Lisa and Ali spent the night on Friday. Ali never ceases to amaze me with her whit. At one point Lisa told her to remember to be careful around me and she said "yeah yeah i know, Aunt Julie is getting Fat", then looked at me with this evil little grin. She's too cute. She talks to and about the girls all the time and she read a story to them, a book she picked out just for them because she knew it so she could read it to them.
For the bad news, Shadow is sick. She is dying. The vet thinks she probably only has a month or so left. She's got a mass in her abdomen which they think is a lymph node tumor. She 's also got fluid in her lungs which tells them the cancer has already spread. We could go forward with treatment, which would involve hospitalization, a biopsy of the tumor, a chest X-Ray and then Chemo. Because I'm pregnant I couldn't be anywhere near her because of the chemo drugs and there is no guarantee that she would get better. Plus the cost would be anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000. So we're not going to put her through that. She's going to go on prednisone, a steroid that will help her feel better for now. The vet says we'll know when she's in pain cause she'll stop eating. As much as I want to hold on to her for as long as we can, i don't want her to suffer. so for now we are just spoiling her rotten and loving her to peices. I can't beleive the girls aren't going to get to love her too.
