Ladies.. things are not good. My little lady is very unwell
She at 2 days old starting having seizures! We're still trying to figure out as her delivery although fast was fine. She pinked up fine and was breathing fine. So no birth trauma. But she's hooked up to every machine going. The only good thing is she is still breathing herself and there's no infection. It's just taking 1 day at a time as she improves and find out why it happened. But I'm distraught at not having my baby with me . I just feel so sad and numb . But I got to hold it together for her sake

@RedRose19 ohhh my goodness. I’m so sorry. I am praying for sweet Willow. I hope you get some answers very soon.

@RedRose19 I’m so sorry! I hope they find out the cause so they can come up with a plan.

This is my poor baby right now the one on the right was her Sunday with the eeg on and the left is today . She's doing abit better but still so hard to see her in wires and not being able to cuddle my baby when I want.

 

[autumnal]

Oh poor thing going through this!! I hope they figure it all out quickly and she is sorted out. Still praying for this little angel. She is so beautiful and adorable.

 

[Jules8]

Sweet baby girl. I’m so sorry you have to go through this. Praying hard!

 

[shaescott]

Poor baby she is still so adorable even under all those wires. Praying for her


On the TTC front, I did some math… we can’t have a baby this year if we ever want a house. Which we do. Daycare just 2 days a week is $12,000 a year, not to mention diapers, so we would have negligible savings for a down payment. We are both very upset about it, but it’s reality. So we decided that we’re going to spend the next year pretending we have way less money than we do in order to save up. I did the math out, and even if we have $1,000 of unexpected or miscellaneous expenses per month, we can save up $25k on two salaries in a year. We just have to be super strict. I have an Amazon addiction, so that needs to be fixed. And of course DH is currently unemployed, but the plan is that that will change within 2 months, whether it be with this coding company or with a construction company he’s worked for before whose owner loves him and would take him on as an employee without question.

She’s a fighter. Hang in there sweet girl and momma.

Shae 12k for two days is outrageous! But yeah A’s infant care (granted I used a kindercare 5 days a week) was like 25k a year. Childcare costs are crazy.
