Saturday Update...

Hudson is doing better than expected! I guess you could say we are coming out of the honeymoon phase but we are managing. He is asleep at my feet right now. Rosa is getting a little bit annoyed by him because he keeps on nipping at her legs. I dont know what the deal is but at this point, I wish she would show him who is boss... and it isnt him! He has gotten Sydney a couple of times because she is so submissive. She is not stern. She feels like she is failing at helping to take care of him but she is really doing an AWESOME job and tolerating a lot from a puppy. She is not the most "motherly" creature although she is most likely of my children to long to be a mother one day. She is so funny. He really is a smart smart little doggie. Today I bought some of the little puppy treats for Sydney to give to him and he is actually sitting for her most times when she tells him to "Sit"... but we of course are limiting how many she gives him. I think he might already be figuring out that he is "her boss" in a sense. We have the blankie from Rebecca that she had had Hudson's mother sleep with in his bed... we also added a sheet from Sydney's bed to his bed. Dont know how effective that will be... but hopefully it is not detrimental. He is still such a love even though he is becoming much more comfortable with his environment. Rosa is tolerant of him and he is a bossy little pushy thing with her.

Tomorrow is Father's day so HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the dad's out there. AND... Of course to my hubby who has been a great dad to our girls... and to our fur friends. Hudson seems to really like Chris. And... Happy Dad's Day... to my DAD! He doesnt read this blog. None of my family even knows this blog exists unless they somehow stumbled upon it once upon a time. I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself. Well, not so much to MYSELF as much as NOT to my family. They are my harshest critics and I am sure their criticism usually means well... but sometimes I just want to say how I FEEL... not hear from them what they think.

Last night I was finally able to get back to Jazzercise after almost 3 weeks of not going. And I feel GREAT and cant wait to go again! The whole time I was jazzercising, I kept thinking about Stellan and his poor racing heart... and it actually made me work HARDER. I thought... maybe if we could all push our own Cardio a bit more... if we could all up our heart rate a bit... maybe somehow Stellan's would settle down a bit... I can not even imagine what his mother and father are feeling emotionally. I know how I worry about my Sydney.... and know I need to put more faith in God.... but, when it is YOUR BABY... it is different. That worry really can get a grip on you... and not let you get any relief from it's grasp. So, I guess you could say last nights workout was DEFINITELY in honor of Stellan. I knew I could push myself THAT much more. MAYBE just MAYBE if more of us can just work our hearts to settle stellan's... maybe... just maybe.....
Dedicate your workout to him.... dedicate yourself to working a bit harder... Stellan has no choice with how hard and how fast his little heart is working. We do... we can work our hearts to be more healthy.... Then it gets me to thinking about Tricia... and my lungs.... I have them so I should USE them.. they are HEALTHY and I am blessed beyond belief to not have to worry about Cystic Fibrosis.... Shouldnt I take better care of what I have??? All these stories inspire me to just PUSH myself a bit harder. USE what I have been given... and take better care of them. TRY a bit harder. Focus a bit more. Someone out there is WISHING they had an opportunity to have a healthy heart or lungs.... or legs, arms, muscle tone... whatever... use it!

That is just my 2 cents.

Tomorrow we go to the Connecticut Sun game at the Mohegan Sun Casino for Girl Scout day. I just need to remember to get out our banner from last year. We can reuse it for the Banner parade at 1/2 time. Yes. Father's Day. Girl Scouts. Doesnt make sense. WNBA... oh well. Chris enjoys it and he DOES have 3 daughters. It is something to spend time being a dad. Sharing the experience with his daughters.

Off to bed. Im pooped. up at 630 to let Hudson out I am sure! Night ALL!
