[lilesMom]

Going to doc today to get bloods done
I know I'm not fully out
But I'm just not feeling it anymore
A pleasant surprise and being wrong would obvs be very welcome
But at the mo I don't want to feel hope
Cos it just makes it harder later
Thanks ladies xxx

Squish is ok
In good form but his meds just aren't covering him
Will most likely need to change again.

Love to all
Xxx

Thank you ladies! They are going to have his wake at the ocean, so I've offered my house for service needs or out of town guest. Meanwhile, I've ordered memorial necklaces for my sil & niece. I feel like I should be doing more, but what? Any suggestions are appreciated, like how can I make this an easier transition for my SIL, or can I? Wish I Knew :/

Laura ~ Fingers crossed its just the ebbs & flows of first trimester hormones that have caused your symptoms to subside Please stick sweet baby!

Bethany ~ Sorry about your DH's job, sounds like you guys are in a better place this round.

Jess ~ Ready to truck or treat?

 

[lilesMom]

I think ur doing loads angel
Just being there for them is something they will appreciate
I'm not sure anything other than support could make it easier on them
Huge hugs xxx

 

[mommylov]

I too think you are doing great Angel. Offering to help with the services and accommodations is huge help. I just cant imagine what they are going through right now. I thought there was going to be better outcome for little David.

Laura, I hope you get a great surprise as well and glad that S is feeling better. When will you get your results?

 

[lilesMom]

I didn't get the bloods done Amy
We went to doc but squish was exhausted and epilepsy playing up
We were there 20 mina after our appointment time
With 3 ahead of us.
So at least another 30 mins
We left cos s was hysterical, i couldn't justify putting us both through
Another half hour of crying
I got scan date for 30th
I'm just gonna wait and try forget about it
Some times too much scrutiny can make u worse
I cant change anything anyway
So.....
Il try be Zen ��
Hope alls well with u hon xxx

Angel huge hugs
Hope ye r ok xxx

Love to all xxx

Angel, I think all that u are doing for your brother and sil is wonderful. I guess the most they need at this point is empathy, a shoulder to cry on. Maybe some home cooked meals because a lot of times when people are grieving they forget to take care of themselves or are too emotionally drained to even think about cooking. I can't imagine the emotional pain they are going through. Big to you and the family

 

[aaronswoman79]

Laura, so sorry about Simon having so many seizures. I can't imagine how hard it is for u seeing him going through so much. I hope and pray one day the docs can find a way to cure his seizures or that he outgrows them. Also hoping your little bean keeps growing and growing. You deserve a nice and smooth pregnancy. Remember to take care of yourself hon.

 

[aaronswoman79]

Bethany, hope your dh finds work as soon as possible. I know how hard it can be when money is tight. I bet you are excited for Lorelei's 2nd birthday coming up very soon. Btw, how is the little princess doing? Still acting like a little teenager? How cute, I think her and Sophie would get along just great, probably getting into mischief together!!

 

[aaronswoman79]

Amy, how are u hon? So happy for u and excited at the same time. I feel like your pregnancy is going by so quickly. February is going to come very soon. How sweet if your little prince is born on Valentine's day!!

Amazing news for Natalie. She has just been accepted to one of the best private schools in the area. She is now in 4th grade and tested at 8th grade level. To say they were impressed with her is an understatement. They really wanted her to attend after she tested so advanced. She starts tomorrrow. She was so happy she did so well and was accepted into the school she was crying tears of joy. We spent these last 2 months homeschooling her and just couldn't do it. She needs a teacher with credentials who can take care of her academic needs.I thought about placing her 1 or 2 grades ahead but my dh was totally against the idea, at least for now. I wonder if her emotional issues is possible tied to her high intelligence, or just a coincidence. I will Def look into it. I am so so happy for my little girl!!

Sophia is going to be Wonder woman and Natalie is going to be some Monster high character for Halloween. And Alyssa is going to be Hello Kitty!!

 

[Storked]

Jess, that is wonderful news about Natalie! Congratulations please tell us how she likes her new school!

Angel, I am so sorry for the loss of your nephew. Probably the best thing that you can do is listen and just give love.

Amy, did I read in your journal that you are starting your registry?

Laura, so sorry that you haven't been able to get your blood tested. Ignore those tests that predict how far along you are because they can be total crap at it. Big hugs.

Well DH is still looking for work but it hasn't been long. I can't help but feel stressed anyways. I'm worried that he will still want to try and find work in a dying field and I want him to take advantage of this and just start anew in another industry. And maybe get a second degree. Ugh.
I have an overnight job now though because I want us to have more money coming in.

 

[lilesMom]

Jess congrats to Natalie
That's fab news. Well done x

Bethany hope ur dh gets sorted soon.
How r u finding working hon.

[aaronswoman79]

Angel, my heart goes out to all of you. So sorry that you are all going through such hard times. It's a wonderful gesture having a get together for your brother and Sil. Much love to you and your family hon. Give Pierce a big 'Ole hug from me and Sophie!

 

[aaronswoman79]

Ladies, I took my girls to the park today. I observed Sophie running, playing and only then did I really realize what Angel, her brother, sil, and whole family are feeling. For a second I imagined my life without her and in that second I realized just what heartache Angel and her family are enduring. Tonight I say a prayer in memory of David, that the Lord Almighty bless Angel and her family and give them strength during these hard times.

 

[mommylov]

Thinking of you all xoxo

 

[lilesMom]

[xoxo4angel]

Thank you ladies. My sil's Mom is going to stay with them for a few weeks to make sure she is ok. I'll have them over a bunch to help keep them busy. The services were lovely, sweet little fella touched the lives of so many. Now my brother and SIL have to move forward and LIVE for their 6 yo daughter.

Laura ~ After a certain point I didn't think your levels had to double? The dreaded wait, I hope they get back with you soon I came across an article this morning that I wanted to share with you. You know I'm in to "clean eating" and unrefined coconut oil is a staple in my diet, we'll look at this info on coconut oil:


"A so-called ketogenic (very low carb, very high fat) diet is currently being studied to treat various disorders. The best known therapeutic application of this diet is treating drug-resistant epilepsy in children (14).

This diet involves eating very little carbohydrates and large amounts of fat, leading to greatly increased concentrations of ketone bodies in the blood. For some reason, this diet can dramatically reduce the rate of seizures in epileptic children, even those who haven’t had success with multiple different types of drugs.

Because the MCTs in coconut oil get shipped to the liver and turned into ketone bodies, they are often used in epileptic patients to induce ketosis while allowing for a bit more carbs in the diet (15, 16)," https://eatlocalgrown.com/article/15135-coconut-oil-and-weight-loss.html?c=JER

Amy ~ Yikes for early waking, prepping for that baby boy!

Jess ~ You are so thoughtful Enjoy your girls xoxo
