Katie Elizabeth is here! Tag Sale Results, Sage passes away...
What a busy month! I was induced on the 2nd of July, and our beautiful daughter Katie Elizabeth arrived on July 3rd around noon. She was 5 lbs and 12 ounces, and is just a doll! I had a very easy delivery, pretty pain free, I don't really have any horror stories to share, and wouldn't if I did. Life has changed already in this past week, I just can't explain it. I had lots of swelling through the pregnancy and lots of monitoring for pre-eclampsia - I figured after the delivery I would be fine, but still have major swelling of the legs/ankles/hands, so I got sent to the emergency room for 5 hours last night by my doctor who wanted emergency blood work done, and my blood pressure was 169/89 when it's usually around 120/80. They gave me blood pressure meds and I'm ok today, but back at the doctor again tomorrow. I was scared, and really upset to be away from Katie, but all is well, we just have to watch things very closely for a while and pray for the best. Look up pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. It's scary business! Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful cards, books, clothing and diapers that they have picked up for Katie. Everyone has been so nice, and so helpful, I really don't know what else to say but "Thank-You!"
Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies... There are bunnies everywhere. We have all ages, sexes, colors... WE NEED ADOPTIONS! It has been such an incredibly slow month for us, and I'm out of commission for a while on doing bondings, which we have 2 that are pending. We need more help at the Hollow as far as volunteers go, so please make fliers, pass the word around, do what you can to help! TAG SALE was great! Thanks to everyone for their more than generous donations to the Hollow Tag Sale which raised $648 this year! Thanks to everyone who hung at Ali's for the day to help, it's so appreciated! We have another tag sale coming up in August, so we will be looking for more donations to help. Please contact me to arrange drop-off in Stratford of any items you'd be looking to donate. Sage, a large, black, beautiful bunny we adopted out last year passed away today. She was unfortunately taken to a non-rabbit vet. We will forever wonder if she could have been saved had she been taken to a rabbit savvy vet. 
We have so many people to thank all the time for help they give to us, just showing up when they say they will and not leaving us hanging is one of the things we can never show enough gratitude for. I just wanted to send out an extra little thank you to Susie, Bryne, Christine and Jim for being here to help us out the past couple of weeks. Our family here has been through quite a bit with our little addition, and with me needing to take it easy, it's so nice to have people that are reliable and so kind to come and help. Thanks guys, I appreciate it greatly as do the 20 foster animals here at the moment. I also appreciate all the offers from so many others like Ali, Karen, Suzanne, both Chelsea's and others. I feel funny asking people to help, as I'm so use to doing things here myself, but I appreciate knowing my family has people we can ask for help if we need it!

There is so much going on that I don't even know where to start on writing it all down, so tonight I won't. I'm going to put my feet back up and hug my daughter! Anyone who can please call Linda and set up time to clean 10 cages a day once a week, please do so. We are trying to see if we can get 3 volunteers a day to each do 10 cages each. It will not only ensure that we have volunteers coming in, but also that everyone can split up some of the cage duties. It's hard for Linda if we have a day where someone cancels as it's a day she can't be on EBAY making money for the Hollow. We need the Hollow in Norwalk to be covered, spread the word - HELP IS NEEDED! Have a great weekend!
