A Big Day in the Harper Household!!

Today is a big big big day!!!!!!!!! For a couple of reasons . . . on a smaller note I went in for my hour long diabetes testing since my 3rd trimester starts tomorrow! I was not looking forward to the testing but off we went (Jeff hasn't missed one appt!!!) We got there and they hadn't scheduled me for the right appt. so we got to escape!! Yeah! Well until next week!

So, on my way home while Jeff headed off to LSO duties I stopped to look for bunny accents for the nursery (why didn't I buy them after Easter when they were all over the place is beyond me). However, apparently I am a bunny snob because it has to be a very certain kind of bunny accent that is not tacky because I can't find any I like (or afford, who are these people that spend $200 on a lamp for a nursery??)! So after no bunny being "up to par to my bunny standards (yes, this is what my life has come too) I headed over to some other sections of TJ Maxx. Let me state for the record of how my life has changed. I never even made it over to the shoe section or the women's clothing section. Yes, life has become 100% about Graysen. Anyway, I passed the dog section and found dog beds. OK for many of those who know me . . . know my past experience with dog beds. Yes, it seems my little Cooper believes dog beds are for one reason. This reason is not relaxing or sleeping on but for . . . humping. Yes, he is fixed and yes we have no idea where he learned this from. We have bought numerous dog beds only to give them away because he would not sleep on it . . . just embarrass us in front of guests, with his "look at what I can do with my bed" motions.

Now that Jeff and I are actively trying to get Cooper to sleep off the bed (even though we bought a king size bed for him) and the couch, I thought I could give it another try as we are tired of waking up with dog hair in our mouths. I brought it home and made a big fuss of how it was a present and low and behold. . . he actually laid down on it!!!!!! He did not try and "make love to it" and he laid on it for a good 5 minutes!!!!! This is a big step for us. When it was time for bed we took the bed upstairs and placed it next to the bed and he laid on it again!! I heard "alleluia" playing! Well, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't find him. He had left his bed to go sleep on the guest bed . . .spread out with his head on the pillow. I guess old habits die hard. As I write this he is sleeping on the couch. I am such a push over for my golden baby, but I mean look at that face????!!!!

The ending to our big day was Jeff stopped on his way home at Dunkin Donuts for a treat (the doctor says I am below normal weight gain so this just give me more reason to eat dozens of donuts) and they were closing so they sent him home with a whole dozen for free again!!! Right in time for LOST!! I mean can a pregnant women get it any better! Ha!!

I have added some of my fave pictures of Cooper claiming he owns the house. The furry friend in the picture with his is Hoat's cat, Raz (short for Raspberry and yes Hoats has a cat and yes Hoats named it that, and yes we should be concerned)
