OnErth-

How is everyone?

I've been bleeding again, have another ultrasound tomorrow. My grandma has several health problems and is in the hospital. And my dog will be coming off most of his meds and probably dying soon. That about sums it up...

In good news, Nora is starting to walk by herself. 😍

oh hun I'm sorry. when it rains it pours. but how lovely nora is starting to walk

Everything looks good on my ultrasound, no reason found for the bleeding so I must just have a friable cervix. Baby was moving around like crazy. Heart rate 170. If the Ramzi theory holds true, this will be another girl. 😊

Unfortunately, I couldn't agree more. My neighbor is currently not doing well. She has chosen to pass at home and her kids have been over there almost every day to be with her. I heard them talking about possibly selling her house, which means we'll be getting in new neighbors, and I can only hope they are good ones because she was a sweet old lady. I always dread getting new neighbors.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandma and your dog, Drjo

Onerth massive hugs to you! What a huge decision to make

 

[Disneymom1129]

Drjo I'm sorry about the bleeding, but so glad baby is healthy. Still must wrack the nerves though! I am very sorry about your grandma and dog

lilmiss sorry about your neighbor , hope the next ones are just as great.

Sorry about your neighbor, lilmiss.

Afm, my dog died yesterday. It's sad but I'm honestly relieved. It was time. We buried him today.

We did manage to finally tell my step-dad about the new baby, and he's ridiculously excited. His mom just got moved from the hospital to a rehab center/nursing home. She's still weak and can't get out of bed. He agreed not to tell her about the baby, since his brother is best friends with my mom's brother and no one in the family can keep a secret. However, if she starts taking a turn for the worse, I agreed to tell her before Easter, which is when I'm planning to tell the rest of the family.

I'm hoping things calm down a bit now. I'm starting to plan Nora's birthday party. Does anyone have suggestions for a 1-year-old Easter basket? We want to do something small for her.

I'm so sorry girl. but now he isn't suffering and is running free of all ailments in green pastures and will be there to greet you when your time comes.

Does it mean she's doing a bit better since they moved her? FX she continues to improve. I can totally understand not telling certain people because they can't keep their mouth shut. How do you plan to announce on easter?

I have no idea. due to money issues i don't see DH and I doing one for him but I know both our moms are so I'm not too worried.

In my family we always got swimwear in our easter baskets (new swimsuit, flip flops, sunglasses, a hat) and a new movie. I had to tell my mom she cannot do that for Sweets because he has about 50 swimsuits already! I did mention to them doing things like crayons that are bigger that fit in a toddlers hand better (I'll post a link) and books because he loves to read. I also suggested Mickey DVD's and Bear in the big blue house DVD's as they are a way we keep him entertained when trying to do important things.
Maybe some big puzzle type things? they have like a big knob on them for the toddlers to move the pieces into a cutout spot on a board.

Fl- thanks for the suggestions. She already has swimsuits since we vacationed to California a few weeks ago. I've seen the crayons at target, maybe I'll look more into that. She likes bubbles too, so maybe I can find something small.

My grandma isn't doing very well, but she was stable enough to leave the hospital after being there 9 days. She had broken her hip and femur, and was supposed to have a replacement, but the fracture was too far down her leg so she ended up with a rod and screws instead. She's also had uncontrollable bloody diarrhea (sorry for that image) for the past few months and refused to see a dr, and now is too weak to have a colonoscopy for fear of rupturing a bowel. That has made her lose ton of weight, and these 2 issues combined have made her unable to get out of bed. On top of that, she got pneumonia while in the hospital. She's not too excited about being in the rehab center, and chances are she may never be able to go back home. She's almost 87.

Sorry about your doggy I know how it is when it's a relief, but still sad.

I saw a cute idea in the Toys R Us magazine, instead of a basket you put a few things in a little wagon. I think I might do that for Ellie. Might end up regretting it because she thinks she needs to climb in/on EVERYTHING. I'll probably get her a little toy and stuffed animal as well and call it a day.

We dont celebrate Easter but id skip the candy/basket and go for some hard boards/stuffed animals.

Yeah we're definitely not doing candy or other junk. We did get her a little stuffed bunny.

Hi ladies! I'm so sorry to read about the tough times so many of our ladies are facing right now. Just wanted to check in really quickly while Sylvie is napping and I'm pumping. We're both doing well, though it's starting to seem like my stitches will never heal... Sylvie is gaining weight well and it seems like she's finally starting to get past the gas pains (I had to stop taking fenugreek again because it gave her horrible gas pains and that made for a very cranky baby). I think my milk supply may finally be catching up with her demands as it seems like she isn't taking as much formula and is having more feedings where she doesn't get fussy at the breast and refuse to feed like she has been lately. Maybe this is due to having fewer gas pains, though. So many vairianles and possibilies. It's such a guessing game!

For those of you that aren't on FB! Sorry they're all sideways!
