From the day I found out I was pregnant, I stopped carrying my daughter Sophia who weighs a hefty 50lbs.  I told her the reason why and she never complained until today.

This morning, in a very paawa voice, she said “Mommy, when you are not pregnant anymore, can you please carry me again? I miss you carrying me already…..”

What she said broke my heart. I wanted to cry. Is it just my hormones or what?

Every afternoon, I now have this habit of sitting and relaxing over our newly purchased patio furniture while watching Sophia walk her dog - Krung Krung. Yes, she is still with us and is staying permanently. I know I have told you about my non-preference for dogs in the house but what can I do? The little girl is so fascinated this with this uber small cross breed of mini pin and chihuahua. The dad had joined the wagon too as he now owns a show quality black Labrador which he also walks every afternoon together with the little girl. It had become a bonding time for the daddy and the little girl and I am just so happy seeing them together sharing their fascination for both their dogs.

So I wasn’t really successful on keeping the house dog free huh?

Got a very tempting promotional email today offering great discounts for an Outer Banks vacation suited for the whole family. As I read further, the deal is too good too to pass up. Too bad though as I am pregnant and is on my first trimester so I cannot have such trips yet. I hope they would still offer such great deal when I am safe to travel already as I am sure my little girl will enjoy such vacation.
