My dog had Cancer; September 24, 1989

I woke up at eight thirty. I had another night where I didn’t sleep very well. The baby did a lot of kicking, he or she didn’t like the way I was lying down. Once I changed positions the baby stopped kicking so much. The other problem is my bladder kept on getting full and there was a pain. I don’t know if it was my bladder or something else. I had my shower, got dressed and had breakfast. Alex was already up, he was watching tv. Later in the morning Alex asked me if today was Kelly’s birthday today or tomorrow. I said today is Kelly’s birthday and he’s eight years old. Alex said we should make something and put a candle on it. I said putting a candle on something isn’t a good idea. Kelly will be scared of the fire on the candle. How about a rice crispy square, Kelly really likes them. Alex said okay. We went out to the back deck and sang “Happy Birthday” to Kelly and gave him his treat. Charlie came back from grocery shopping. Alex told him what we had done. Charlie thought that was pretty silly. After lunch we went to Metrotown. I need to buy a bathrobe and a pair of slippers. I found the bathrobe at Woodward’s and slippers at Sears. I had trouble getting the slippers to fit. My feet are swollen still and I can hardly wear my shoes. We went to the Won Ton House in Vancouver to buy barbequed meat. Then we bought a submarine sandwich for Alex and myself. I have a lot of cravings in this pregnancy then with Alex. Actually with Alex I didn’t have any cravings at all. Alex and I ate dinner when we got home. Charlie went to cut the lawn. After dinner we watched tv. Alex went to bed at eight o’clock. I watched tv and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
