I am loving this cooler weather...well, actually, it isn't cooler...it is just less humid. I can sit on the porch, listen to the wind chime, and not feel like I am going to sweat to death. When the wind blows, it really makes it feel like fall. I am ready for winter mainly because I want to rock my new mommy jeans my grandmother bought me. No, only kidding...that isn't the only reason I like winter. I just like to be cold in general.

Can't you tell I have a preggo brain? I keep switching topics...but the real reason I am writing this post is to comment on how pets react to their "mommy" being a mommy. I have started to notice my unsocial cat becoming a little more social, as well as, my dog sitting at the door while I take a bath. It seems like they have become more protective and a little more needy. Bella, the cat, is usually very unsocial unless she is hungry. She never wants to sit near you or around you. But for the past few weeks, she wants to always sit beside the keyboard while I am on the computer (even right now), and she follows me around meowing a lot more than usual. She has even started to groom our dogs when they lay beside her. She'll lick their ears and face. The dogs seem to have become more protective of me...except maybe for Haylie. Haylie seems to be more needy. They follow me from room to room and lay right beside me during nap time. I did an experiment the other night to see how much they actually followed me. I went from room to room sitting down each time, and yep, they followed me everywhere I went (no matter what room David was in). Have any of you Mommy's or Mommy's to be notice changes in your pets? I don't know why it has all the sudden kicked in? Maybe they have noticed my growing belly? Or is it the pheromones have increased? It would be interesting to know.
