Enjoy my Pregnancy Thoughts and details about our Beach Trip coming up soon!
I feel like I have been quite the busy bee for someone who isn’t working these days. Not having wifi at our place is a HUGE inconvenience, for I have to drive to either Starbucks, Panera, or my in-laws to blog. Between doctors appointments, house hunting, preparing Mcmuffin for his first trip to the Kitty Condos, to drama with payroll from my teaching job, getting ready for my future SIL’s wedding shower, trying to exercise so I don’t turn into a pregnant Shamu… the list goes on and on.
I took Muffin to the vet this morning for the first time (he was a shelter kitty). If the visit to the vet was any indication of how I am going to act when I bring my real baby to the doctor someday, I am going to need some emotional support and a glass of wine. I was a wreck. He kept crying and shaking and looking at me for help, and I couldn’t do anything but tell him, “It’ll be over soon.” Thankfully, he is as healthy as a 12lb chock full o muscle kitty can be, with the exception of a little tarter build-up. Doctor John said I have to start brushing his BRUSH A CAT’S TEETH? Please tell me someone has done this before…
In other news – the hunt for a house has been both exciting and stressful. I will find a house I like, then discover it is too far from B’s new job, or that it is under contract. We are going to see a house tonight that I’ve already looked at once… I LOVE IT and hope that it works out. I want to know that we have a place to live in by the end of the summer!
B and I are headed to Destin, Florida next week for the annual H-M-B Family Vacation at our grandparent’s condo. Since I won’t be wasting my days away by boozing on the beach from sun up til sun down, I will be able to blog regularly. ALSO, while we are there, we are going to have a GENDER REVEAL PARTY!!! That means my friends, that yes I do know what we are having, and no I am not telling you until after the 4th. Heehehehehe. Don’t be mad! Any guesses?
Lastly, I have some fun pregnancy stuff going on, but I’ll save that for tomorrow’s bump update. I can’t believe we are at 17 weeks… time is flying by. I am thrilled to tell you about Baby H’s gender next week – then I can publicly pin things on Pinterest and begin planning my baby shower in CT with my sisters and Mom. Next week should be interesting … me and my belly on the beach. I have been slathering myself with 30SPF to protect my skin here in GA, but I know the sun will be a bit hotter by the ocean.
Have a terrific day!

Our vet mentioned brushing our cat’s teeth. I bought a toothbrush and put treats on it and he chewed on it. That’s as close as we got.
Dara @ The Southern Thing says
Good luck with the house hunt!! That is so exciting!
Amy Addison says
I can’t wait to hear if baby H is a boy or a girl and to hear any good news on the house hunting front!
Lisette H says
Yay for house hunting! I am already getting ready to shop for Baby H! LOVE IT!!!!

BRUSHING A CAT’S TEETH?! I can’t even handle that sentence.
Taylor LeMay says
Ooo I cant wait to find out 🙂 Sounds like youre very busy but happy 🙂
Bonnie Rose says
Oh boo. It is not fun not having wifi where you live. I complain that I cant use my phone out of the house unless I can find wifi…but your situation totally beats my pity party. Cannot wait to find out if you are having a boy or girl! 🙂

Gender reveal parties sound like so much fun! Congrats again, Catalyn 🙂
Jordan Hansen says
Yikes, sorry about the wifi situation.. I am staying at my grandparent’s house right now, and they have wifi, but the router is all the way across the house from the guest room, so it’s patchy here for me. Such problems, we have.. *sigh*
Also.. I’ve never brushed a cat’s teeth. That sounds awful.
And I can’t wait to find out what you’re having! New babies are so exciting!
Angela says
I’m guessing a girl! 🙂
Emily Fette says
You must brush. We didn’t after the vet told us 3 years ago (we also thought it was ridiculous at first) and then both of our poor kitties had teeth pulled due to cavities! It was super expensive and they were miserable. NOW we brush their teeth with just our finger daily, and we brush with kitty toothpaste once a week.
Kristen Alexis says
Aw it looks like all your chaos is the fun kinda chaos though! If the house you’re looking at is the picture, it’s GORGEOUS!! Good luck. I hope it all goes well and smooth! Can’t wait to hear about the gender. I have a feeling it’s a little princess! 🙂
Sara Louise says
I just found you over on Kisses & Croissants… as a New York/ Texas girl your blog name caught my eye so I thought I’d pop on over and say hi… howdy!
Congrats on your baby bump and best of luck househunting! 🙂
