Ultrasound #3

We had our third ultrasound on Wednesday and the girls are growinggggg! They have each gained over a pound in the last month. Everything else was looking good. They heartbeats were in the normal range - all body parts were accounted for! : ) As of this Sunday we will be 26 weeks. We will have to wait for another two weeks to get the official interpretation of the ultrasound from the doctor...you can only squeeze so much information out of the ultrasound tech...since they aren't really suppose to tell you anything!

Otherwise, all else is well. Tinsley is back to her frisky self - but still isn't using the leg she had the operation on! The vet says this is normal in small dogs who can move quite well with just three legs. He said it may take several weeks for her to figure out that using that leg won't hurt her anymore. So for now she is still a tripod.

Springfield is still a bit of a disaster since the ice storm. Trees are down in mass everywhere - and you can't go too far without see one leaning on electric wires or electric wires laying across the street after being knocked down by a tree! We have some significant clean up to do from the tree limbs that have fallen in our front yard. Many people are still without power and are huddling by their gas/wood fireplaces. Apparently, to add to the madness, we are forecasted to get between 3-8" of snow this weekend!

Hooray for the girls. I know it will be much more comfortable for you (and more fun) to see them grow after they're born, but I'm so glad all is well.

Glad Tinsley made it through the ice storm, house arrest and her surgery. Our cats were freaked out by the storm, but bounced back as soon as the electricity came on and the house got warm.

Our neighborhood looks awful! Still, it's better than many others I've seen. It's so sad to see the loss of those beautiful trees.
