The Finglands: Weeks 24-27

Whoops...I kind of forgot about updating this the past couple weeks! We've had a great fall and Halloween, with trips to the pumpkin patch, Boo at the Zoo, hiking, and more. This past month went by so quickly, and I can't believe in 3 months we will be meeting our new little guy! We've been washing onesies and blankets, getting the nursery paint job almost completed, trying to get stuff done around the house, and trying to have some fun along the way too with Lucy. I go to the doctor this Friday for my last appointment in my 2nd trimester--3rd trimester here we come!

During all of this change and preparation, we were also dealt some pretty unfortunate news about our Bailey dog. Bail was diagnosed with lymphoma last week, and we are looking into some options of what to do in order to make the best decision for her. As of now, she seems to be feeling great (we thought she just had gas and took her in for that--turns out it was swollen lymph nodes instead) so we are enjoying every moment of that and have her on an anti inflammatory to help reduce any pain and lymph node size. On this medicine the vet said the average prognosis is 1-3 months. It still doesn't seem real, and we are looking into if chemo would be an option or even gain us more time, or dive her a better quality of life. We'll keep you posted, but thanks already for the prayers and good vibes our way, especially for Lucy as she is so attached to her. She is so much a part of our family and life without her seems unimaginable.

We hope you are doing well and are looking forward to seeing some of you in St. Louis over Thanksgiving!
Love,
The Finglands
