Our guinea pig is...

Let's see if everyone can keep up... Last summer we had 4 guinea pigs. Two boys, Patch and Snickers, and two girls, Olive and Chloe. We decided to breed 2 of our little piggies, Patch and Olive. From that we had 3 very cute little boy piggies. Pumpkin and Mouse went to the neighbor boy and we kept Spike. Our 2 males passed away shortly after the babies were born so we decided to keep Spike just to keep a little bit of Patch with us. So now it's fall and we have Chloe, Olive and Spike. Spike was a bit lonely after his brothers left so we got him a little companion and named him Coco. He's the sweetest little piggy! Last week while cleaning the cages P decided that Coco was getting fat. I didn't pay much attention and told her he was just maturing and filling out. Yesterday she brought him downstairs to play with and I noticed that not only is he getting fat but his fat is moving! Then I compared "his" parts with Spike's parts and noticed they look different (guinea pig parts look very much alike until the pigs are about 4-5 months old). I'm sure it wasn't like finding out that your teenage daughter is pregnant but it was pretty shocking. First, to find out that Coco is a girl and then to find out he's...she's pregnant! I have a pretty good idea that the babies will be born in the next 2 weeks and there is probably 3 of them in there. Coco is very young and his...her prenatal care started a bit late but hopefully things will go smoothly for him...her. I'll keep you all posted.

Update

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We've had a busy month or so with the holidays and all that comes with it. We had to make a quick trip up to Ohio for a funeral on the first day of J's block leave. It was FREEZING up there so after 4 days I was more than ready to come home. When we got home we had a house full! Family and neighbors spent Christmas with us and we had a great time with everyone. New Year's brought more friends and family. Shortly after Christmas my parents came down to celebrate late. It's always sad to see them leave but they miss their 5 dogs at home and mom has to work.
As far as the baby thing...I'm off of the meds for this cycle. I would have needed an ultrasound the day after Christmas and the clinic was closed. My body is freaking out trying to produce all of these hormones on its own. I'm pretty sure I'm more psycho off the meds then I am when I'm on them, but you'll have to ask J to be sure!
I am obsessed, yes...obsessed! with the Twilight Series. If any of you haven't read this series you're missing out on a GREAT story. I was happy to get my Texas buddy obsessed too. I could make this whole blog about Twilight but that would bore everyone (as if my life isn't boring enough) so I'll move on...
P is riding 4 times per week getting ready for the spring shows. It's going to be an expensive summer!!
J works and works and works. LONG HOURS!!!
D is still dating, nothing serious.
My Kent State friend just had a beautiful baby boy and I really can't wait to see him up close and personal.
My Texas friend is coming to my house in March and I'm so excited I could do cart-wheels.
My grandfather has lung cancer and just started chemo and radiation. Positive energy, thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated :)
My VA friend is ready to start trying for a baby and I hope she has a healthy pregnancy this time.
Hmm...I think that's all I have for now.
