The cats are recovering from last night's present-opening (see image above) by snoozing on our bed, and Greta, inspired by them, is napping on the couch, with her feet in my lap. Since I can't move, I thought I might as well do a blog post.
We had a great time up on Connecticut, hanging with Greta's family. Her parents have gone through a lot of positive changes over the past couple of years, with the side benefit that holidays have become more and more pleasant. This year's Christmas was the mellowest every -- there was a lot of sitting by the fire talking, and we got to hang out with Mimi for a while, too, even though she was still recovering from a bad cold.
It was also excellent to see my nephews-in-law again ... they are becoming more adult-like at a rapid clip, which is somewhat alarming but also very pleasing to witness.
We had another nice midwife appointment this morning as well, but I'll let Greta post about that ... if I can get her to wake up. Actually, I have to wake her up soon so that we can go see the Borat movie ... accompanying me to a movie is a sort of Christmas present from her to me. She loves movies but, cursed with bionic hearing, she finds herself easily distracted and annoyed by people doing things like chewing popcorn twelve rows away. I will give her a few (imaginary) Valium and hold her hand to help her through this movie.
I hope that all readers of this blog had equally enjoyable holidays!

Ahh...more pictures of wacky pet toys from PetEdge...did you see the doggie-toy airplanes we sent Zuma and Joey?! (We had such fun imagining how queasy, or amused?, that might have made our friendly neighborhood pilot Bryan feel...)
Almost as much fun as picking out gifts for human family members!

PS - however, there has been no call for the chihuahua bling in my catalog, nor the pink doggie booties with Velcro straps, nor the neon orange MOUSE PATROL cat t-shirt...any takers, little pets???
Um, Jim, I have to warn you about taking Greta to the Borat movie this close to delivery:
1) She may go into labor from laughter. Really. Be prepared. Either that or she will be grossed out by a particular nude wrestling scene and lose her cookies.
2) You may change your mind about the whole Seamus thing and name him Borat after all. Actually, you probably will be glad you didn't take my advice.
Have fun!
I KNEW Julie was going to say that "change your mind" thing about the name! ;)
