A Buppy named Argo...

Well we have our little "buppy" back. We have decided on the name Argo, after all he's been through.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo

I didn't actually get anything out of the name, or the meaning behind it, until Dean gave me a Greek Mythology lesson... Argo was the name of the ship that Jason and Argonauts sailed on, and history claims it was the most protected ship under the Greek Gods...

So we figured that since our little guy was soooooo sick with Parvo and who knows what else, that someone was watching over him, and he's a blessed little fighter... ;) Plus it's a name that Jax can kind of say "Ahhhhhh Go-go"

I went and picked him up from the vet this morning, and although we don't have our "grand total" for his care and treatment, we are so glad that he is back at home and romping and bouncing around like a normal little puppy! He follows Jax around everywhere, and has done a good job at keeping Nash on his toes... ;)

And new baby makes...4

Well for those who did not get the "not so subtle" hints or calls... WE'RE PREGNANT!!! We had a feeling that we were, and on the 19th did an at home pregnancy test, (two actually), and within seconds we had our answer. We had to wait a week to see a Dr here in Greeneville to confirm, and sure enough, we have a Spring baby arriving next year.

Of course with my past medical booha, and our last pregnancy with Jax being early, we are considered high risk, so we were referred to a specialist in Johnson City, about 40 mins from us. His name is Dr. Welt and specializes in high-risk pregnancies and more so in high blood pressure and diabetes. Our first appointment and u/s with him went well, and he seems to think that I am not the worst case he's seen (yay for me), and we found out we were actually a week farther than what we expected and were told by the first Dr. Our due date is St. Patties Day... but we're thinking we'll have a Feb baby just going off how early Jax was...

We are very excited, and are really anxious for Jax to be a Big Brother!!!!

We will keep you all posted as to how I am doing, and things are progressing. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!


Love Shylah, Dean, Jax and baby #2
