27 weeks: happiness and saddness

 we made it to 27 weeks! i'm still on part time bedrest and am hanging in here besides this...

yesterday evening we had to put our precious kitty of 11 years to sleep. it was the hardest and saddest thing we've ever done. DH and I got him when we first started dating and he has been with us for the ride ever since, from moving in together, getting engaged, getting married, moving into our first house, trying to get pregnant, being pregnant and now being pregnant on bedrest. My kitty supported me through my emotional ups and downs of trying to get pregnant, always there by my side, and ready for a snuggle. He was here for my bedrest and kept me company each day. i know we made the right decision to put him to sleep because he was in a lot of horrible pain, but i am still so sad that he is gone and i will miss him so much.

i am trying to not be too sad because of the baby and the contractions, but i can't help it and end up crying and crying. i think pregnancy hormones and the bedrest don't help. i would love to go out for a walk to take my mind off of everything, but i can't, so that makes it hard.

  1. sorry for your loss :( I have only been able to put down 2 of my animals and it's never easy. I think the easiest way is when the animal dies on it's own and in its sleep cause to me it seems more peaceful. You just have to relax and not to be mean but get a kitten? might help you feel better. I know you can never replace your cat but you can get another one to start a new journey with.

  2. So sorry to hear about your kitty. It is so sad. But I hope you can find your strength in concentrating on your pregnancy and your baby, and when the time is right get another kitty as sin_ty_a suggested.

  3. So, so sorry about your kitty. It's so incredibly hard to lose a member of your family that you love so much. Hugs during this difficult time...
