Ticks....ewww!

Rex decided to give the dogs a little scrub down today! They looked great and shiny!
After getting them dry Rex applied the flea & tick killer. He told me that he was suprised, when he bathed them there wasn't any ticks. oh Good, what a relief. Then he proceeds to tell me that he thought there was one, but it's just one of LLoyd's nipples. So I grabbed Lloyd to have him show me.

During the inspection, I found that it was in fact a TICK! EWWW!!!

After giving both dogs the one over... we ended up finding 5 TICKS!

Roofus has 1 and Lloyd had 4! Man alive.

Now I have the hebby-geeby's feeling like there are ticks & creepy crawling things everywhere!

This is just one reason why I don't really like the south.

Oh yeah, I am sexy!!!! Look at that six pack! Ouch! Don't you wish you could pull this look off?

So this is the official 20 week photo. Today is officially week 20. Things have been going well. Getting situated into the (military-healthcare) system has been very challenging. One thing after another has gone wrong/bad. We finally got things sorted out... atleast we hope. I have been approved to see an off-post provider for the pregnancy, although I don't know what that means for the delivery or acute issues between now & then.

I have been having lots of back pain, and no one has yet to tell me what the cause is. It's on one side of my back (right side) right under my ribs, and is tender. It reminds me of kidney problems that I have had before. The Dr I saw ran some tests, and everything looks ok so far, I will see him this week and get more information then. Other than that can I just say LEG CRAMPS...ouch! I keep waking up in the middle of the night with horrible cramps... they are in the wierdest places too. I got one in my knee a few nights ago... oouch! Last night was the worst one so far, my calf was hard as a rock!

Anybody have suggestions on how to make them go away... or never come at all???

Well that's all I have for now.... later!
