Driving, Im sorry to hear about the cyst. I feel confident that your baby is ok, based on your previous blood work, but I know you must be out of your mind worried!
Moni, Yay for rising numbers!
Smiles, wow! Super scary experience with the iron transfusion! I am glad you dont have to go thru that again! And dont worry about a big baby
.they are the cutest. The pic below is my 3 DAY OLD! You cant beat those cheeks! They estimated my baby at 7 1/2 lbs, and she was 10, so I am just assuming this baby will be up there also. So yes Terri, girls can be that big!
Wish, I hope you enjoyed that ice cream! It sounds delicious and I am extremely jealous. I also hope you see some results with your new kit! I am also impressed that your DH is taking his supplements! Its about time that man wised up.
Im so happy you got your appointment!
Terri, you are the best foster mama! I hope DH doesnt make you wait too long
. There is nothing like cleaning up after a puppy to take your mind off of things.
Kfs1, sometimes we all need a day like that! I am glad you had a door you were able to close. It is never easy to get negative results, even when you know the answer.
I vote yes to ice cream, junk food, burger, etc...
Sis, WOW! What are kids thinking these days? I am proud of your son also!
Thank you so much for the support ladies! I really appreciate it! Testifying is court is probably the scariest thing I have ever done....i'd take child birth over it any day!!
Anyway, DB had sued me for full custody of our 14 year old. On Friday, we tried to negotiate and give him an extra weekend. He already has 1st, 3rd, 5th. I was willing to give up 4th, which would give him 4 extra days, and result in me having my son for 15 days a month and his dad 13, on average... He declined that offer.
The week before he had me served I offered to give him Wednesdays, but he declined to respond to that email. The approach his lawyer took was that he was trying to compromise with me and I was being a "brick wall". Well, that didnt work because I have numerous text messages and emails showing that my son was over there a LOT more than the visitation outlined in the decree.
So DB got on the stand with all his excel spread sheets and calculations (to show how much time he had my son), but my lawyer was awesome! His calcualtions backfired. He stated that he had already had my son 49.6% of the year, so my laywer argued that given those numbers, wouldnt he agree that I had been more than willing to support my sons desire to see his father outside of the visitation schedule. It was awesome! Then she asked him "What does it mean to you to have custody of Zac?". His answer was: "Primary custodian".
So then when I got on the stand my lawyer asked me some of the same questions, when she asked me the one about having custody of Zac I told her that it was my job to make sure that he has a stable and structured environment, and that I get tired of being the "bad parent" all the time, but sometimes that what it takes to make sure my son grows up to be a responsible adult that is accountable for his actions. We then talked about how my child got in trouble (broke into the school concession stand on a Saturday when he was with his dad, got suspended from school, and suspended from HS soccer team for 5 weeks)....when DB was on the stand he played that incident off like it was no big deal. You could see the judge was not pleased. Then I told them about my boys (14 and 17) getting in to a fist fight at their dads house and he was no where around nor reachable by phone. My 14 year old called me crying. The judge was very unhappy about that. Again, it was no big deal to dad. Boys will be boys... I also had to talk about the 2 offers that we had presented - the extra weekend and the wednesday night. I had offered every Wednesday, so that would have given him 4 or 5 extra nights a month.
So then the judge talked to my son in chambers...no idea what he was asked. And came out and gave his ruling. DB ended up getting Zac for 2 (TWO!!!!!) extra days a month!!! He gets him on Wednesday on the 1st and 3rd weekend. Man, he should have took either of the two deals that I offered him!! I was so relieved. I couldnt believe it! The judge told him that he wasn't going to give him another weekend. He needed to know what it was like to step up and be a dad...do homework, get to and from school, etc.
So this hearing was for temp orders, which means we have to try this Wednesday addition for a few months, then appear before the court to have the final ruling. So I know I am not out of the woods yet, but typically, in order for a judge to rule differently from the temp orders he would need a pretty compelling argument. It's been 2 days and the ridiculous emails from DB have already started rolling in. I provide him very formal, non-emotional answers and file the emails away. I just don't know why he wants to keep dragging my son thru this for no reason. So of course last night was the first wednesday that Zac had to go to his dads. My DD (19) had just got a new job, so we were taking her out to celebrate and after dinner Zac called me crying. He felt left out because he couldn't go to the dinner with us. Poor kid....he just doesn't understand that it was out of my hands. His dad was NOT going to let me keep him last night. My other DS (17) is supposed to go to his dads tomorrow, but he called and asked if he could stay at my place... of course his dad said no. I made sure I documented that as well. Apparently we have double standards on the issue....
Again, thank you guys for your support!! At least I can put this on hold until I get this baby here.
I'm sure that's the reason for my temp I've never had a temp that high unless I was sick!! 
I wish today was your baby's birth day. hee hee.
