Cuteness Overload

So, I was going to write a boring post about how much I got done this weekend, how I spent a ton of money at Pea in the Pod (cute baby shower dress, comfy pj's, nursing bras!), and how cool is it that my belly has started to do that pregnant-lady wiggle where you can see the baby moving under the skin...BUT. Then, something happened.

PREPARE YOURSELF....

Are you prepared??

Can you believe how cute this is?
He is a master at sleeping wherever he is at....

Don't mind the double chin (it's a bad selfie-angle, ok?), but instead focus on belly, boobs and kitten all in one shot. Wow.
iPhone size comparison here...

So yeah. That happened. Those of you who have been reading awhile may remember the story of how we lost Indy, our most amazing cat in the world. I had been pushing to get a kitten to help us move on, but B just wasn't ready. Yesterday, at Monte's chemo treatment appt, the vet tech (who knew we were considering a kitten), brought in this guy to "meet us." We were goners as soon as we saw him. Apparently he is 4 weeks old and was separated from his Mommy when he was found in the axle of some lady's car. She had driven all the way to the store before she noticed him crying. He was okay, just covered in axel grease.

He's stolen our hearts completely. We are having a harder time naming him than we did naming our baby, but so far we think we've settled on Huckleberry (an homage to our Montana roots), with "Bear" as a nickname, because he looks just like a baby black bear cub.

Feel free to ooooohhh and ahhhh in excitement.

  1. Oh wow :) I am definitely excited he is so so cute. How about you name it Berry ? Bear is also great, and it suits him.
    He will have a great life at your home, and I love how Monte is also taking care of him!

  2. So freaking cute! There is about to be a whole bunch of cuteness overload in your house. I love that you got a black cat, too. Poor black kitties rarely get adopted :(
    I am jealous of two things 1)your dog and cat are already making friends. Mine are not and probably never will be 2)you have a baby name. I cannot seem to commit to anything. Ugh.

  3. BABY KITTY! I look back at Birdy's kitten photos and get so wistful for those days when she could sit in my palm. Less wistful about the insanity that all baby cats seem to possess! How fun that the kitten and the baby will be (roughly) the same age!

  7. Omg SOOO CUTE! But hello, why aren't you naming him Axle?? Or Axel, however you spell it :)

    I would totally have scooped him up, too -- man, that is one sneaky vet tech; she probably knew you'd never be able to say no. Congrats on the new addition!

  9. Soooo adorable!!!!

    My not so little black cat is snuggled next to me right now - well, snuggled being a very loose term. She's still (after 3 years) a little shy.

    Congrats on your new addition!
