AW: Kid and Cat

tidetravel · July 2009

Because it's slow: 20 weeks! Halfway through!

And; you may remember at the beginning of the month my story about finding a live cat trapped in a sea cargo container that had been at the pier for 2+ weeks. (Time in transit from leaving Greece to arriving and bring opened in Baltimore was about a month) Well, kitty appears to have made it through his quarantine period and is up for adoption! His name is Maersk. http://www.baltimoreanimalshelter.org/adoptable_pets.php

Awww like the shipping company!! He is beautiful! I love black cats. Congrats on 20 weeks! Gosh I remember when your ticker said like 8 weeks. Taryn is going to be here before you know it. :-)

Congratulations! BTW I love the name Taryn!

Yep, he was named after the container he was found in. Thanks! Time has gone by soo fast. I can't believe that Christmas is only 5 months away, and Taryn will be here before that! We have our "big" sonogram tomorrow so I'm leaving work early. This is the one where they go part by part to make sure everything is good.

Tide, does your doctor do the 3-D ultrasounds for this one? That is the coolest thing, we had one a little bit before she was born and those pictures actually look so much like her newborn pictures.

Tide - how did I miss that in your siggy. Congrats!Will Taryn be a boy or a girl?I'm glad it all worked out with the kitty and he is doing well.

AF - I should have made myself clearer. HAHAHA. Amber - Taryn is a girl. At least, that's what we're told - the doctor told us a 16 weeks - at that point you can determine sex, it's just a little early. They prefer to tell at 20 weeks. Of course, DH is like, "Well, the baby is a (lastname), so if it was a boy, we would know..."
