They sound small enough to properly socialize, playing with them with simple things at first-- little kittens like things like pipe cleaners and ribbon--stuff that won't scare them. Also having a tv or radio on will help and as much handling as you can manage. They are lucky to have found you guys! As far as weaning goes the mom will do that when they are ready, it helps to mix canned food with water for mom and leaving whats left over out so they can walk through it, clean it off their paws etc. It's best also to have mama on kitten food when nursing. The smaller size of the food help to wean them as well. Thanks for doing a good thing and tell your husband thanks too.
She's probably not pregnant yet but can go into heat as soon as the kittens are 4 weeks or so. I think Misty is coming down off a heat, she was getting really affectionate and meowy and I did notice some wetness, but she's so concerned about the kittens there's no way she would leave the kittens no matter how strong the urge. She just kind of bore with it and I have to make an appointment for her soon but I just don't want the kittens nursing on a Mama recovering from surgery.
Thanks for all the advice. DH is getting impatient and wants these things gone lol. But, they are too stinking cute!
Hello all...well we got back late Wednesday from a week at Disney and it was the worst weather we have ever had
We had Tsunami's the first 4 days then cool weather and clouds the majority of the rest of our trip...never even got into the 80's. my one goal was to NOT gain weight but I gained 3 lbs and to make it worse my DH lost weight!! Only got a glimpse of the Everest racers on Saturday night...had hoped to go over and watch some of the race but did not get back from DTD soon enough....hope all those running had a great race"!!!
My DH ordered me the new Fitbit Flex for Mother's Day but it won't ship till the 22nd
can't wait to get it and see how terrible my stats are! Hope it will be a good motivator....
Well I am going to try and catch up on the thread and see how everyone has been!
So sorry about the weather. At least you were at Disney
I spent 3 hours today at soccer games in 48 degree weather!
What a great Mother's Day gift!! I've heard good things about the FitBit, so enjoy it.
Great news today! I have lost the weight I gained last month!!
And my sister is flying in from ID to celebrate our "Christmas in May" gathering at my parents house next week! Between birthdays and Mother's/Father's days, almost everyone has something to celebrate so we just have one big day of fun! Sadly the only one who doesn't have anything to celebrate is my DD, so we call her gifts "pitty presents"
She loves it and play's it up!
Now I am off to work in the yard and get some gardening in before the rain sets in this weekend! Have a great night everyone!
Congrats on the loss and have a great celebration with your family!
Well I haven't been able to get rid of those two pounds form Chicago, so my first weigh in won't be great. But I had a really good eating day (always easier when I'm busy running around town or at home and not sitting at my desk at work) and am planning a good run in the morning. DH (and the boys) got me a GPS watch for Mother's Day (I got it today since I won't see much of DH for a while because of his work schedule) so I plan on trying it out. I had the RunKeeper app on my phone but my phone's GPS was crap and rarely worked. OK when I was just running up to 5 k last year in my first year of running, but this year I am working on 10 k and also hoping to run the Princess Half Marathon in 2014. I need to start mapping out some longer distance runs in my neighbourhood and figuring out a good pace.
Hoping for a better weigh in result next week.
Congratulations to all the "losers" and maintainers this week!
Enjoy your gps watch! My brother-in-law runs a lot and uses one. It's a Garmin and really cool!
Good Saturday morning everyone. It is pretty quiet here this morning.
Question of the Day
The weekend is here.
What do you have planned to help you on your journey?
What do you have planned to have some fun this weekend?
If it doesn't start raining we are going to get some plant for a bed dh planted last weekend. I am also going out to get some new yarn. I picked up some last week for a scarf and I hate the color it is turning into as I knit.
I am going to clean out the frig and go shopping to get things to make next week healthy.
I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day. Ds2 came home for the weekend and relax since he just finished exams last week. He is a grad student so he had a presentation last week and a take home test and then he had was grading some tests for the professor he works for. Ds1 and his gf came over for dinner last night but I don't expect to see them the rest of the weekend.
I visited with my parents on Wed. I took them to lunch with some relatives to celebrate their 59th wedding anniv. I gave her some cards, a flowers and a plant for their anniv and Mother's Day so I can stay home tomorrow.
Have a happy and healthy day
Sounds like a great weekend!
QOTD~Well, I planned my menu for the week and went grocery shopping today. I just finished working out, also. For fun, I spent the morning and some of the afternoon watching DSs soccer games. Tomorrow we are going to church then to my sister's to cook out. Too bad the high is only supposed to be 54
After the cookout, we will come home to get DH (who will be sleeping all day after working tonight 7p-7a in the ER) and head to his mom's for a little before he heads back to work at 7p again. I think I will walk to his parents house while he and DSs drive. It is 2.7 miles and I can walk through our park on the way.
Jill, you and
Magdalene (who should be back from vacation any time) have inspired me to take on the 30DS -- I'm sure I will be glad I did it this last month before my cruise. Hang in there -- summer is coming, baby!
Yay! Have fun! I absolutely loved it.
QOTD today. Well I'm a bit sick. Low fever last night and just feel tired today. I was able to skip the family breakfast taco run which thanks to lack of appetite that was good. But dh went to the farmers market and got this delish raisin and walnut bread a local baker makes. Once I ate the whole loaf over the weekend omg.
I had planned on going to a local antiquing town but that's out. Hard to keep focused when I'm stuck in the house and bored and want to snack.
My son has his first theater performance tonight so hopefully ill be able to go to that.
I did great w my workouts this week but feel bummed I'm sick now. Had a 3 lb loss sine the 1st. Woohoo. Hope to keep the momentum going.
I hope you're feeling better and you can go to your son's theater performance. Congrats on the loss!
Happy Saturday friends! Busy, busy day here for us! Just returning home from DD's visit to the hairdresser for PROM hair! Looks lovely, of course.
Keeping on track here with food, but exercise, as usual, has been lacking. I need to change that THIS WEEK! We are at the 13 day mark away from our trip and I would love to be down another 4 pounds... but that is unlikely, so I'll be happy with another 2!!
Lunch is ready (homemade pea soup!), my folks are here to see DD go to Prom and to help with some yardwork, so I've gotta dash! Hopefully I can pop on to chat tonight after dinner!........................P
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! Senior prom! I hope she has a wonderful night. And, hope you enjoy your day with your parents. Are the kids coming to your house after the dance?
Well I had planned on unpacking from out trip and getting some cleaning done and grocery shopping but have only made it out of bed long enough to drive to McDonalds to grab lunch
Do need to get groceries as there is nothing here and need to get something for my mom for Mother's Day
Someone please get me motivated !!!
I'm sorry, I caught this too late. I would've been so glad to motivate you, but now that I've been running around for over 12 hours, I'm in some comfy pjs and relaxing. So, I hope someone else comes along to help you out
We LOVED AK
Our room was on the 5th floor of Jambo house and we had an amazing view. There were giraffes and zebras outside every morning!
We had breakfast at Boma...it was good but seems the buffets are about the same.
Did have dinner at Be Our Guest and that was really good. We were seated in the west wing and the kids loved it
They loved Gastons tavern too but was kinda surprised that the ongoing construction in fantasyland was in between belles village and dumbos circus.....you have to walk around the construction to get from one to the other.
Can't wait to go back when the rest is done!
The other thing that surprised me was how small and cramped the area that was Belles village and the new mermaid area was. They are together which does not make sense but oh well
Sounds lovely! I love Sanaa and we had Be Our Guest for lunch in January. It is beautiful and yummy
I agree that it doesn't flow too well right now. And, my family wasn't real thrilled with the whole circus theming. It seems out of place. But, we still enjoyed it. I can't wait for the mine train coaster to open to see what it's like.
Hi Everybody!
Sorry that I haven't been very active on the thread. I lurk almost daily, but I'm in my last couple of weeks of school (finished May 23!), so things have been a little chaotic at home and in the classroom. Right now I am finally getting around to rotating my closets for spring/summer, since Minnesota weather people are telling me that we are going to (finally) have a warm week!
I haven't been exercising as well as I should, but I was still able to report a 1.4 pound loss. If I can do that again I'll be down into the next decade pretty quickly here!
I'm scheduling myself for an early morning run tomorrow before heading off to celebrate Mother's Day with both my boyfriend's mom and mine. I'll try to make good choices!
Thanks for being such a motivating group! I'm glad to hear of your successes, and I look forward to responding more personally to each of you once life slows down a little bit!
Have a great second half to your weekend!
Congrats on the loss and I hope you have a nice weather week!

Okay, I am all caught up for now. I am pretty worn out right now. I guess kids will do that to you, huh?
I want to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow in case I don't make it on. Enjoy the day
Jill
It's tough with all that hormonal stuff and it will catch up eventually. Do not give up! You can do this! 
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!
Guess I am behind on my shopping. 
), and breaded chicken.
