A Special Trip

I got my errands done in the morning and stopped by my parents' house to drop of garage sale stuff and let my son nap. He didn't nap very long and was ready to go. Last minute, I decided to take him to the local zoo. We had a blast!! We both loved the gray wolf and Bubby really enjoyed the pygmy goats. My other favorites were the bear cubs and the white fallow deer buck in full velvet. Bubby liked the giraffes, too, but it was definately the wolf and the goats that made him laugh and squeal.

The wolf was something special. I have a soft spot in my heart for wolves. In fact, I looked into adopting a wolf hybrid at one point. Where I live, I'd have to put up a special kennel for them and get special insurance. I told hubby that if God decided to make me infertile, that I'd either adopt a wolf hybrid or open a rescue for bully breed dogs (pit bulls, AmStaffs, Staffies, Bull Terriers, Bull dogs, etc). Thankfully, I have my son, so my focus and love is on him and hopefully future children. In the meantime, we all enjoy our one and only AmStaff.

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
