Sad Update

Anabel Rose passed away quietly in my arms earlier today. Aaron and I were both there, holding her and letting her know that she was loved. She was 7 days, 12 hours old.

Best Friends

Happiness in our house...

...is a new pair of wubbas....

...which pretty much equals 17 minutes of peace and quiet...  :)

Momma is home!

Anabel Rose Sterling was born at 1:14 am on 6/22/2014.  She will be staying in NICU for several weeks due to lung issues, which will give both of us a chance to prepare the house for her - something I couldn't do during my hospital stay.

 I got to head home yesterday, much to the joy of both Monty and Harlow.  After 73 days in the hospital, I couldn't have asked for a happier reunion.  BOL - unfortunately, Aaron was so busy defending me from our furkids that we didn't get any video or pictures of the event.

We did get some after pictures, after I was safely secured on the couch and the pups could cuddle with me all they wanted.

Harlow didn't leave my side all afternoon...

Monty made sure to get some cuddle time too.

 We had a few all out battles over who got to sit on the couch next to me.  Eventually they sorted it all out...

Harlow getting some loving...

This is what I saw most of the day.

Monty, Harlow and me - good thing Harlow doesn't mind the back of the couch.

I is here too, Momma!

We would like to thank everyone for all your good wishes during this time.  We will be spending a lot of time with Anabel at the hospital and could use a little POTP for her if you could!

Harlow the Hat Model

When all else fails, crochet a hat for your dog...

Thank you Chewy.com!

I need to send a huge shout out to chewy.com!  When I was first admitted into hospital, they were kind enough to send me a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  I was really touched to recieve them - we had done a few reviews for them and they were a wonderful surprise!

So pretty!

Last week another surprise came from Chewy's!  A beautiful little portrait of Harlow and Monty.  This was such a bright spot in my day - thank you so much Chewy.com!

Thank you!

Somebody needs a toe massage...

Look - she has already assumed the position!
