Lucky & Sad at the same time...

It's been a while since I've posted, I've had a lot going on lately!

I'm 25 weeks along now, am loving being pregnant so much and Eric and I are SO excited to meet our little one in June! Oh, and Kate too - she's been sleeping in the nursery every night actually (since we painted and stuff)

We're working on getting my Mom moved back out to Alberta before June, it's a lot of work but is progressing. She's currently in Montreal. As some of you know she suffers from severe depression (so when she'll be out here) I'll be her legal guardian. But it's all good, since telling her the news that I was pregnant it's really helped her depression a lot. This baby is such a blessing not only to us but to her too! She's going to make an excellent Grandma!

The sad part. We decided we had no other choice than to sell my horse, Rollie. I've had him for 4+ years, love him dearly - but the reality is (when baby arrives) that we won't be able to afford to board him, nor will I have the time I'd like for him. I was so scared to sell him. I got calls from people that wanted to race him again (he's an x-racehorse), and I didn't want that. He's almost 9 years old now and I just wanted to find him a loving home where he'd be spoilt rotten like he deserves. Luckily, this weekend we met her (the perfect owner for Rollie), and she just loved Rollie. When she made the offer we didn't have to think twice. She's going to train him for dressage and compete with him, he will do so well at it, he's a nice mover. She's picking him up on Saturday...

I know I'll be balling my face off as the trailer pulls away, but I know we did the right thing and I know he's going to a loving home, which was most important to me. Best of all she said I can come see him whenever I want, and she'll keep me posted on how he's doing! So overall we were really lucky that she found Rollie and we found her 

I attached some pics of my beautiful boy, I will miss him so much, but it's all good. I think the reason I'm so sad is because I feel like I'm letting go of a family member, which I am. Rollie and our Rotti (Slater) that we lost in 2005 were so close, I feel that I'm not only letting go of Rollie, but that I'm losing Slater again (in a sense)

Thanks for listening - I'll post some new pics of Kate soon. She is doing just fabulous, we are so lucky to have her in our lives - she is the best and brings so much joy to our lives each and every day!
