another milestone

within the last two days, two people whom i hadn't told i was PG commented on my pregnancy. i guess that means i am officially showing!

the first was a little old actor with whom i was working on these australian "webisodes". out of nowhere he asked me, "when are you due?" and when i told him he said, "i have a daughter...." and paused...and told me that he never really knew love until the day she was born.

the other was the biscuit's vet, dr. leiman (the one who shushed bdub). we took the biscuit in to see him today (i was convinced that le bisquit had pneumonia...long story, he's fine,) and after the exam concluded, dr. leiman said, "i have some really good literature about introducing a new baby to your dog" and proceeded to give us all of this good advice about keeping treats by the door for visitors to give the biscuit, and how to enter the home with a baby. it was so sweet! and so out of nowhere, because i was wearing a very loose tunic that is not especially bump-revealing.

how nice, though, that these comments have been helpful and encouraging. i'm just waiting for the bad parenting advice to ensue. maybe i can get one of these for after the little bean comes along:

the biscuit's got the crazy eye!


poor little biscuit. since friday evening, his left eye has been red and cloudy. we took him to the vet today (we saw dr. eisner, and dr. zamata popped in to say hello...no dr. mann this time) and, as much as it pains me to say so, the biscuit was not very well-behaved. he wasn't having it with the eye stain, and thrashed and wailed like an alien banshee. he was rather out of control, and i don't think dr. eisner was amused (but you know what? bdub and i weren't very amused with her either, so there) .

as for the diagnosis, they really aren't sure why there is inflammation and redness. he doesn't have a scratched cornea, though, which is a relief. now we must administer two kinds of drops as well as some chinese herbal medicine to the biscuit three times a day. we check back on thursday with them, so i'll post an update then.
