Poop Poop?
Whe Scooby and I have a morning of errands to run, there is a small window of opportunity to get out the door that will allow enough time to complete everything without melting down in the middle of what is usually the last stop. If I spend the entire morning getting us ready, he gets upset that there’s no play time. So this morning we played downstairs and ate chocolate chip pancakes before I took a shower and blew out…

I hadn’t gained any weight since last month, I obviously needed to drink a lot more water (I blame being sick for almost two weeks), and I was nervous as we waited to get to listen for the little one.
