So as I have stated my boss is on bed rest and she is scheduled to be induced on Wed night.  This means I will be spending the night with the kids at their house Wed and Thur night.  I love the kids but this will be the first time EVER I will be away from my girls.  Im getting very anxious, I have never been away from them for more than 12 or so hours.  Chad also had a ton planned for V-day and that is out.  I am trying to find out if he can at least come to visit while I am there.  Did I mention I will be sleeping with a 13 month old?  Again I love them and so excited to see the baby but im just anxious....Chad is coming home Tuesday late night and I will be gone wed morn to fri morn...*sigh*

Don't worry Rachael, you will be fine.  Just keep in mind that your girls will be left with a very good caretaker (Chad) and that you have nothing to worry about.  Plus, you can always check in every hour  .  That sucks that it happened to fall on V-day.  Im sure Chad will whip up something extra good and surprise you with something special.  Its always scary for a mama to leave her babies for a long period of time.  But I think everything will work out just fine!

that sux.

I hope everything goes well for you!  And your boss, I hear being induced is awful.  The first time Noah and I left Tojo for a weekend was for out anniversary getaway and we spent most of the time talking about how much we missed Tojo, lol!  Also, be wary that maybe they will miss you, too.  On the occassions where I have been gone for a few days (hospital stays, visiting my sisters, etc) Tojo usually gets upset and wrecks something.  The other pups are fine, but Tojo gets upset when I'm gone (but not when Noah's gone, probably because I'm the one home all the time).

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-10T11:55:27.000Z
Thanx...I ask Chad all the time when I am gone during the day how my girls are when he is home with them.  By night time they are pacing, standing guard and waiting for me to come home.  Chad leaves for a week and is home a week so they are used to being separated from him.  I am going to try and sneak out at least once to go home and see them, Chad may bring them over also.  It will be interesting and I will have to make sure that Chad is extra patient with them.  So many people think I am silly cause they are "just dogs" so I am so glad to come here and be with people who understand.

Jason had never had dogs before Moto and Piglet. So I think I sometimes underestimate his relationship with them. And while some of the finer details of being a pup pop are still being learned, he is a great pop. There are times where, between volunteering, and my location work, I can work 16+ hour days (balanced out by the fact that I typically only work 3 days a week). I used to obsess that if I wasn't there, they wouldn't receive the adequate attention I felt they deserved. I am learning that they love Jason so much and he loves them. They may miss me, but they aren't missing out.

Niko and Sasha will miss you. No doubt. And Valentines away from your honey is a bummer. BUT Chad will make sure that those pups are well loved and cared for no doubt. And you have another 50 or so years together to celebrate V-Day. And just think, if you celebrate a day later, all the restaurants will be more empty, flower prices will be cheaper, and chocolate will be on sale!

## hondru (moderator) · 2008-02-10T14:03:09.000Z
^ That's a good point about celebrating on a different day.  That's actually Noah and my plan as well.  Also, because it will be easier to find a babysitter on a different day since everyone we would ask will be out for dinner of Valentine's Day.  

I have to really feel sorry for a friend of ours, though.  They made a reservation at this nice restaurant/lounge for Valentine's Day and later one they found out that every Thursday is "Lady's Night" which means there will be male strippers and all of their lady fans there.   Not that that has anything to do with the topic at hand, I just found that funny/sad.

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-10T15:02:18.000Z
LMAO!  Thanks Jess for putting it in a great perspective.

Heidi that is too funny!  You would think they would change it up for v-day.

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-13T00:04:46.000Z
NO INTERNET!  

I have internet on my phone but Brad is too fancy for me to be able to use it on my phone.  I dont think that Chad will let me take the computer with me.

## okiron · 2008-02-13T01:18:52.000Z
Ma'am I'm sending you my laptop :P

Just don't mind the folders of "how to cook human flesh" and other things on my desktop :D

Rachael - You should be able to view this forum on your phone by going to this link: http://www.nihonken.org/forum/?Feed=RSS2

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-13T23:27:52.000Z
LMAO Rina...I knew you were a closet freak.  I got plenty of flesh for you.

Thanks Brad...that info may not be a very good thing...hehe.

Chad actually parted with the laptop.

The kids are asleep, mom is 2 cm and being induced and will probably have a baby boy by tomorrow morning.  I am going to head to bed soon with my little 13 month old Valentine.  

I got 2 dozen roses, a bunch of chocolate, Chad brought me chipotle for lunch and he is brining me pizza tomorrow.  Sasha is at home waiting for me to come home and Niko is being spoiled by sleeping in MY spot on the couch.

## okiron · 2008-02-13T23:41:55.000Z
Woohoo! I gots a fresh supply of flesh :P

Glad you got a laptop :D Wow tomorrow morning? Valentine baby!

2 dozen??? Wowzers. I want chocolate covered strawberries still.

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-13T23:44:24.000Z
hehehe....Chad made a mistake sending the chocolate here.  Im getting 2 more dozen tomorrow cause Chad called and complained because they left the flowers in the garage.  What do you do with 4 dozen roses???????????

They are excited for a v-day baby, their engagement anniversary is v-day.

## okiron · 2008-02-13T23:47:06.000Z
4 dozen!??!?! Um...take a bath in rose petals? You could swim in it :P

Lol cool. My aunt's birthday, her husband's birthday and their wedding anniversary is all on the same day. It's also her license plate number (vanity plate).

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-13T23:53:27.000Z
LOL...that is a bit much

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-14T00:04:20.000Z
Off to bed to sleep with another man.  I told Chad that I am sleeping with another man...who cares he is the cutest little 13 month old with fangs!  honestly, his first teeth are his canine fangs!  It is the funniest thing!

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-14T18:20:17.000Z
Baby Matthew was born around noon today.  We will be going to see him in a few hours after little miss wakes up.  So excited and CANT WAIT for my own!

## okiron · 2008-02-14T18:24:43.000Z
Woo congratulations to momma!

## MommyofNiko · 2008-02-15T19:13:06.000Z
He is so perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im home not, so happy!  I drove in the subdivision and Chad was walking the girls and they went nuts.  Suprisingly Niko was the most excited.  She went crazy.  Even kitty rolled around for me and was talking away (until the dogs got home from their nap).  I get to have Monday off.  The last 3 days I put in 45 hours (not including sleep).

Going from no kids to a few full time is exhausting!
