Disclaimer: this post may be brief as it is extremely hard to type with a cast on. I had my appointment at RCH a week and a bit ago and GREAT news: no mores placenta previa OR tachycardia--HURRAY and praise God! The specialist actually seemed kind of bored and he jokingly mentioned that he expected my case to be more dramatic. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support! The little foal lives! He's a feisty little guy and we decided to call him Leo, after Leonidas, the Spartan hero-king who survived nights in the wild fighting off wolves when he was just a little boy. Our Leo spent his first night in the world very cold, hungry, alone and taking beats from other horses in the herd, thus proving his natural strength and perseverance. And also, Leo's mama's name is Sarabi (Simba's mom in "The Lion King") so we wanted to stick with a lion-esque theme :). Baby doesn't stop moving. Ever. Baby is active when I'm eating, when I'm riding, doing karate, walking, sitting, standing, lying down and carrying groceries. I told David the other day that if this constant activity is an indicator of Baby's future habits we will never get any sleep! It sure is fun though :). The cast specialist put a real cast on (yay!) and it's scheduled to come off in less than three weeks. I have to wrap it in vet-wrap every day to keep the barn and pony dirt off if it and to hopefully keep it from getting smelly--so far so good. My last official day at Timberline is May 12; I'm actually super bummed about having to leave so early. Buuuuut it's probably for the best. We're planning a "send off" ride up to Golden Ears one sunny day and that will be such a great way to end things. I'll miss it there so much! I don't know what things will look like after Baby comes but if I go back to work Timberline would be my first choice--and Baby (then Toddler) could even come with me on certain days! But I digress... ... And I don't really have anything else to say :). We haven't bought any baby stuff for a few months and we still are searching for some bigger items. A trip to the good ol' US of A might be in order! I'm going to start a baby pool! Stay tuned and get your predictions ready :). Forewarning: if any of you predict that Baby will be over 9 pounds we can no longer be friends.
