July 11, 2026 – It was bougie pedicure day! It was expensive AF, but since I got gel, it should last for 6-8 weeks.
July 12, 2026 – Mom and I took the dogs to a dog bar downtown called Mutts and Martinis. On Sunday mornings, they open the play area for dogs under 30 lbs. Unfortunately, we went on the one day a year when there’s a Boston Terrier meetup, so there was a lot going on, and our little shy babies weren’t too keen on it. They have a quieter section of the play area, so we’re going to try that tomorrow!
July 13, 2026 – I was in a lot of trouble with Lila last week when I didn’t take any photos of this majestic girl for the blog. I promised I would make up for it this week!
July 14, 2026 – Sadly, one of my fitted sheets must be disposed of. I found some tears in it, and I’m not sure where they came from! My best guess: Lila tore up the sheet, knowing her mom would be too lazy to put it in the trash in a timely manner, so she would have a great napping spot for a few days. She is right.
July 15, 2026 – Another Lila photo! But I took this photo to show you guys the sad evidence that my cozy reading chair has gone to the Great Furniture Store in the sky. It kept tearing until I couldn’t sit in it comfortably, so I had my brother help me carry it down to our dumpster. A sad day! (There will be a new reading chair in due time!)
July 16, 2026 – Baby’s first echocardiogram! It was pretty easy. I had to take off everything from the waist up and wear the gown on the bed. Then, the ultrasound tech spent about 30 minutes taking lots of pictures and videos of various parts of my heart, while I lay on my left side with my arm over my head. I got to hear my heartbeat, which was pretty cool. There’s a lot of stuff happening inside these bodies of ours! The craziest part about this day, though, is that when I got home from the doctor, Eloise wouldn’t leave my side for anything! She wanted to be as close to me as possible the whole evening. I’m guessing I came home smelling different or with a different sort of energy that she picked up on? Sweet girl.
July 17, 2026 – A dinner date with Mom! We went to BJ’s, where we, of course, finished off dinner with a pizookie. I did not enjoy this pizookie all that much (it needed 2-3 minutes less in the oven because it was not gooey enough for me!), but my mom enjoyed it, so I’m glad for that!
Have you ever had an echocardiogram?
