Cinderella Died.

Now before you are confused, let me start my saying, my DD loves Disney Princesses... We got her two hermit crabs at the beach in June and she named them herself. Cindrella (purple shell) and Belle (cream shell) anyways this afternoon DH poked at Cinderella and she was limp. He told me in secret and I went to check, YES she died. Well I had to explain this to DD, but before the broke the news I called Pet Co to see if they had Small Hermit crabs, 1: hermit crabs should not be alone and 2: this was my back up plan if she cried about it I would offer to buy her a new one. So the convo went like this...

Me: Avery I need to tell you something, look at Mommy
Avery: (LOOKS AT MOMMY)
Me: cinderella got very sick and she is no longer eating and moving so we have to throw her away
Avery: Throw her away, WHY?
Me: well sweetie she died and that means we have to throw her away.
Avery: (CONFUSED)
Me: woudl you liek to say goodbye to Cinderella so we can throw her away?
Avery: Yes, (runs over to Cinderella who by this time is in a cup)
Me: say Goodbye to cinderella
Avery: Bye Bye Cinderella (waving and then turns and opens the trash can - my 1st thought is OH she was listening to me)
Me: OK bye cinderella
Avery: Can I get a NEW Cinderella, Belle needs a best friend
Me: Sure (my master plan was to do this but lets pretend it was her idea)

Happily we go to Pet Co, on the way there, Avery tells me that Cinderella is SAD that she was in the trash can, but she is sick. Belle needs a Friend, We are buying her Friends..

So in Pet Co we end up buying two extra small hermit crabs... She named them... Cinderella and Belle, when I reminded her Belle was still at home healthy and happy, she said she will name them Cindrella and Ariel.

So now we have 3 hermit crabs, Belle, Cinderella (#2) and Ariel... Now we need a bigger cage. They seem happy and I am happy we did not have major crying over this!

On the TTC front... Nothing new, cramping off and on, taking a warm shower if they get bad, trying to keep my uterus calm... I also spoke with a lady today that went through IF and IVF and you ill not believe her story... I will post that tomorrow.
