Pet Priorties

I WILL get comfortable on this oddly protruding mound!!

So does any other expectant parent worry about how the pet will take to a new baby? I suspect if you don't have a pet you will think I am crazy, but it is a big concern. My huge, lumbering baby is soon to be 11 and has lived his entire life being completely catered to by his pathetic parents. He sleeps (no kidding) with his body between us under the covers. His head is on one of our pillows. How can I possibly consider kicking him out of bed for a little peanut of a person? Newborns aren’t even that cute!

Does he suspect the imminent event? I believe he does. As you can see he has already begun asserting his dominance. He tries to climb on me every chance he gets (not what he used to do). He also recently threw up in the baby room. Coincidence? I think not.

We are trying our best to come up with strategies to minimize the stress of a new sibling. We’ve committed ourselves to getting the baby out regularly so that he doesn’t have to hear his screaming and so that he may get some “alone time” with one of us.

We are absolutely insane people and should not even be allowed to have a child let alone a feline.
