The grass is always greener...

Cat in dog crate, dog in kitty bed...need I say more?

We came home earlier than usual the other day because I was starving and had to eat something...NOW.  Normally when we walk in, Jack is at the door ready to greet us with his favorite toy in tow.  Anytime he doesn't meet us at the door, we know he did something bad and he is hiding from us.  

This was one of those times that he was not ready and waiting when we walked in, so we started the routine search of the apartment for Jack.  After looking in all the usual places we were a bit baffled because he was nowhere to be seen.  That's when I noticed the laundry room door was shut.  The laundry room door is constantly propped open a few inches so Tigger can get in and Jack can't.  Jack isn't allowed in there for 2 reasons:

1. He likes to eat Tigger's food
2. He likes to raid Tigger's litter box

This particular morning I was in a hurry and didn't stick the doorstop under the door as tight as usual and it seems Jack took advantage of this and pushed his way into the laundry room, not realizing that the door would swing shut behind him.  

We opened the door to a super guilty looking face and he grovelled/ crawled all the way to his crate without us even saying anything.  Sure enough, her food was gone and there was evidence of Jack disturbing the litter box.  Personally, I don't see the attraction, but Jack just can't seem to stay away!  

What are we going to do with him?

St. Patrick's Day

You may be cool, but are you Irish popped collar cool?!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from my Irishman!  I know this is late, but this picture has to be shared.  We didn't do much to celebrate this year, thanks to me and baby Baker.  We spent the weekend at the Renner's house and had a great time socializing and testing my "morning sickness boundaries".  I was just happy to get out and feel somewhat normal after being cooped up in bed and the bathroom for so long!

We are having a baby!

That's right, we are now making this exciting news public!  It has been hard to keep it quite, but we wanted to wait until the first trimester was over before spreading the word (just in case something went wrong).  Anyway, I am now almost 16 weeks pregnant, so almost 4 months and everything is going well.

The due date is September 5, 2011 and we will find out if it is a boy or a girl next month.  One of the reasons I haven't been posting as often is because the only things I have had to talk about are pregnancy and morning sickness.  This has not been an easy pregnancy thus far, but I am still optimistic that things will improve and I won't suffer from morning sickness much longer.  I will post an update on the first 3 months later, but I wanted to let everyone know how excited both Trip and I are about this new step in our lives!  We will keep you all updated.

O Hisashiburi!

Sometimes Japanese just says it better.  I can't believe how long it has been since we last posted!  It was pretty difficult to get online while we were on vacation.  We had a great time visiting with family and friends back home and we miss them already.  At the same time, it is nice to be back with friends and family here as well.  If only we could all be in the same area all the time! 

Now we are back and settling in.  It is weird to think that I won't be working in about a month and a half.  There are so many projects that I have been putting off, it will be nice to work on some of them.  One of those things is to get some more pictures up on our blog!  We will begin posting more often too.  We have to make up for lost time, after all!
