Hannah's Hodgepodge

A few updates on a few things:

We got our puppy yesterday! Her name is Kiva and she is seven weeks old. We had a bit of an adventure getting her home - the poor thing got car sick. A lot. Then we gave her a bath and she zonked out. She showed no personality all afternoon, I was a bit worried we had picked a pup without the required spunk to get along in our family. Not to worry though, by evening she was all over the place! She even has tried to nurse Walter, with some disastrous results (Walter has only one place to nurse, and he wasn't a fan of Kiva sucking there...which makes him quite different from the rest of the male population on earth).

In addition to her rambunctious evening, Kiva decided she didn't really dig her cage and howled at 1:30, 2:30, 4:15 and 5:15. At which point I informed Brent that I hated him and went to sleep in the basement on a bed that had no sheets. Perhaps all this barfing and crying and sleeplessness is good practice for this winter though.

This past Saturday we spent the day running King David's booth at Indy Gay Pride. That was quite an event. We did pretty well, learned some good lessons for future festivals and discovered that there are a TON of WT, manish lesbians living in central Indiana. Who knew? And they all like Mountain Dew. A LOT. There was also a number of men running around in speedos and cowboy hats. Brent asked a good question: "Where do they keep their money?"

Finally, in baby news, we have a doctor's appointment this Thursday that may or may not include an ultrasound. (Of course I am hoping it does!) If we do get to have an ultrasound, there is a chance we might be able to determine the babies' sexes. Holy crap!!! More on this later. I certainly have tons to say about the matter. Brent is considering getting a preemptive prescription for Xanax in the event we are having two girls!
