Waking Up Giggling

Last night I woke up wide awake twice. Not the usual wake up, resituate pillows, blankets and try to snuggle into some sort of comfortable nest kind of wake up. I even have one of those fancy pregnancy pillows, and it is a must have for anyone expecting. This was something very different. A funny different. My whole belly was slightly bouncing with a rhythm. The reason I must have woken up is that this tickled! Yes - tickled, like from the inside. This bouncing baby girl was hiccuping! Silliest thing I have ever felt.

I couldn't help but wake up, giggle and enjoy this fun little surprise.

In other news, Ravensdale has been blessed with a generous helping of snow. The bright white snow reflects the sunshine into the house. All the critters seem to be enjoying the snow.

Dolly got a snow day from dog school. This is her last week attending River Dog. Eli and I have been pleased with her progress. We decided to enroll her in their three week training camp after she started moving from nervousness around strangers to aggression. She also formed a nasty habit of taking off to visit the neighbors and ignoring our every word. Which is very annoying... Once she jumps the fence it turns into a dog rescue mission. 

River Dog worked with her on refreshing her obedience, taking her out and about working on greetings, and then did extensive remote collar training for her recall commands. All of this done with the reward of meatballs. Yes, Dolly is fed meatballs pretty much all day. Lucky beast!

Off to chug down some calcium and magnesium pills. I take them early in the day as the prenatal pills still make me feel a little nauseated. Taking the fish pills, prenatal and vitamin D before bed is about the only way I have found to get the pills to go down and stay down.
