Since a lot of you have been wondering how our original baby is doing with the new addition to the family, I thought I'd do a weekly because I'm too scatterbrained to commit to a certain day of the week update of how the pup's doing. Hence the title "Pupdates".
I will have to say, and I'm ashamed to admit it, but when you come home with a tiny little angel that you would wrestle a dinosaur to protect and you have psychotic, nut house like, straight jacket needing postpartum tendancies, your first baby, no matter how much you SWEAR it will never happen, becomes a second priority. And when you're postpartum'ing it up you'll even find yourself becoming downright frustrated with him. For no other reason than the fact that he's curious and wants to get to know (i.e. sniff, lick and be all up in his bidness) his new little brother. All the things you want your pup to do, but at the same time don't since he previously just licked his crotch and butt in the same sitting. I will tell you it's gotten better on my end. I'm back to giving my boy his attention, taking time to let him know his mommy loves him, all the while still keeping him from licking C's face, hands, pacifier (everything except his feet, he can lick his feet). And until C gets to the point where he's pulling Koda's tail, climbing on his back and momma can't do anything about the fact that he just crawled over and ate something off the floor, I'll be keeping him at a bit of a distance. While his big brother gives me this pitiful face ...
{Mum, wut is dat teeny ting dat gets all da gud toyz and you won't's letz me tuch? Mayke SHURE he no's dis is MAH BALL!}
Mommy still loves you Koda bear. I promise.
Aww.... poor Koda! My girlfriend is going through the same thing with her two HUGE Manecoon Cats. She was like I feel bad, but I always have the baby with me.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a lab thing to curl their "wrists" under! Mine is doing it right now!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you are doing "Pupdates!" It will remind you to give Koda some love and it gives your readers more pics of Koda! We love Koda!
ReplyDeleteAnd "Pupdates" is super clever.
Koda is precious!!
ReplyDeleteaw hahah I love Koda!
ReplyDeleteI feel you on this one! And I actually just wrote a post today about having to get rid of one of our dogs due to the baby. A baby really changes everything!
ReplyDeleteKoda is so presh!
ReplyDeleteAww Koda bear it's okay you'll have him to play with soon enough!
ReplyDeleteOH sweet BOY! ;-) Nate and I talk about what will happen (one day a long time from now) when it is time to have kiddos and sweet Gus Gus and Wrigley will feel left out. . . Gus Gus will have to be kept AWAY but Wrigley is so sweet she could just 'babysit!' I guess Daddy will just have to love on Gus Gus. . . I'm sure that Matt makes Koda feel loved too! :-)
ReplyDeleteHe looks sooo pitiful in that picture!! Such a cutie!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the caption under his picture. Poor baby! I'll take him :-)
ReplyDeleteaww koda! he really is attached to that ball huh? so cute! we have one very emotional mommma's boy who's already starting to prefer my husband over me and my big ole belly, so i'm afraid i might be the one needing some lovin' after our baby girl gets here!
ReplyDeleteAw, Koda will always be top dog!
ReplyDeleteAwww poor Koda! HE can come live at my house for a little bit. :) I need a big yellow, house trained, lab dog to keep my mind off the other yellow lab dog I just gave up.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a cute picture and I love the caption! I feel the same way about my dog now that we have the baby. It's sooo hard not to get frustrated when she is just being a dog.
ReplyDeletehey koda, i know how you feel. our mommies really do love us, they're just busy sometimes. want to start a support group? love from your buddy in MO, hurley
ReplyDeleteOh don't worry Koda, momma's other baby is gonna be crawling on you and pulling your tail in no time, then you get a little new buddy :-)
