Farewell Dear Squishy!

 Our little Squishy (formerly known as Shere Khan) is moving in with his girlfriend.  It's sort of an arranged girlfriend since he's never met her yet, but I think he's pretty excited.  He gets picked up tomorrow.  We are sad but it's for the best. 

 Moving from our big apartment in Winnipeg to a smaller place in Toronto and adding a baby to the mix has made things difficult.  Three cats, one baby and two adults in a small place is, well, squishy, lol.  We'll keep our other 2 cats for the time being and see how that goes, but we may need to find better homes for them too. 

For now, the cat that was once a kitten that we intended to find a home for in the first place will now be moving.  I'm both happy and sad but so thankful he's going to a good home, it makes the guilt less intense!  Have a good life little Squish.  We'll miss you.  xoxoxoxox.

Cats and Sinks.

I'm not entirely sure what it is about the bathroom sink that our cats love so much, but even the new kitten has been caught hanging out in there. Ha! He looks so tiny!
Here check out these photos of our other cats,

16 weeks and Counting!

Well, we had a nice surprise when we got home from India! Looks like half way through the honeymoon we made a baby by accident! At first is was very concerning since we had many vaccinations and we were on anti-malaria meds called Docycycline (a drug that is NOT recommended for pregnant ladies.) A few heartaches and many doctors and specialist later, everything looks good and normal! PHEW!!! So word of advice out there...if you are ever concerned about conceiving on medications that are "high risk" to a fetus, don't jump to any conclusions right away, start by calling Motherisk (they are Toronto based): (416) 813-6780
www.motherisk.org/
Sometimes doctors only know what they read in the text book, where as these doctors have stats for you so you know just how high the risks really are. If it wasn't for them, I don't think I would still be pregnant since the first 3 doctors we saw pushed us in the direction of an abortion.
Now I have a VERY excellent western doctor that I see regularly, along with a homeopathic doctor (who is also studying to become a midwife) and a naturopathic doctor who specializes in massage therapy too. So far all tests have come back normal and I am getting myself on track with vitamins...I was low on B12 a few weeks ago, but I think at my next live blood test she will be pleasantly surprised thanks to all the red meat I started eating and the B12 spray that take 2 or 3 times a day. Hopefully there are less toxins in my body from the help of Acidophilus. I also have another ultrasound in about 4 or 5 weeks time that will show any problems (if any have developed) and we'll be able to find out the sex (even though I am willing to bet that it's a boy!)
We are so excited! Sometimes I am like, "WHOA, there's only 5 more months until the baby comes" and other times I am like, "man, there's still 5 more months to go!"
Come back to stay updated on this adventure!

My Water Babies.

Oggy went from being TERRIFIED of water to LOVING it so much that he has now claimed the bathroom sink.


Oggy and Catface are more alike then Catface seems to think...
