On November 28th we brought home our newest family member. "Lightening" is a baby Roborovski Hamster. The kids have been begging for a pet for years now so we finally caved in. With a hamster there is minimal care involved and since I already clean up after enough kids I certainly wasn't going to get a dog or cat.
Since our kids are spaced every 2 years people were starting to ask if another was on the way. Unlike a couple of my longtime friends that are currently pregnant, I chose the easy way. With our new family member there was no morning sickness (or all day sickness in my case), no gestational diabetes and no birthing pains (sorry Mel and Ali, I really do hope you feel better soon).
I'll post pictures as soon as I can find my camera (too many "helpers" around here).

It's now 4:00 pm and Megan finally showed me that she hid my camera under the extra rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom. Now why didn't I think to look there?!

Ah...what...you mean to tell me that i could have had a hamster??
Just kidding.
I'll take the sickness. And the awful sleep and the more lack of sleep. and...
Man, did I really think this through enough?
Hey, I am starting to feel better and so I am finally getting around to blogging and e-mailing...expect an e-mail soon.
P.S. I had enough mice in my house growing up to completely cure me from EVER having a rodent as a pet.
so was this new pet inspired by the movie "Bolt"? we took Kingston to see it and he loved it. the hamster is funny
Hey --- I get gestational diabetes, too. Lovely, isn't it?
Your pet is darling!
