O/T ladies but I'm shocked right now. I was reading in the news on Sunday that a couple was out walking in a small town about 45 minutes from where I live. While out walking the wife saw a duffle bag floating in the lake by where they were walking. After attempting to retrieve the bag with a stick she climbed in the water and brought it out. Her husband opened the bag and while he was moving around clothing they found the body of a newborn baby They are performing an autopsy right now to determine if the baby was stillborn, later died or was alive when placed in the duffle bag and thrown in the water. They said the baby has been in the water for about 3 weeks and there was very little decomposition. Here comes the EVEN MORE horrifying part for me. Apparently they found the mother today and arrested her after a friend came forward and said she had given birth to to the baby in her home a few weeks ago and never sought medical attention. My mom calls me on her dinner break from work and apparently she is my cousin. I had no idea. My father was abusive and my mom got awarded custody of us when I was 4. He signed away his rights. I know who he is but never had a relationship with him or his family. I knew my dad's family was messed up but I cannot imagine someone doing this. It just shocked me to find this out. Her mother is not okay herself, she spent her life in and out of prison and mental hospitals. So scary. I am now even happier I have nothing to do with that part of my family. And to think my father tried to kidnap my brother and I one time after my parent's divorced. I was 4, my brother was 3. My great-grandmother was a full blooded Ogallala Sioux and was born, lived and died on the Redbud Indian Reservation in Nebraska. He was planning on taking us there. Thank God the cops found us before he could leave with us. It scares me to think what my life could have been like if it had happened.
My husband can't believe how big I am already either. Nobody can. I guess I'm "going big" with the last one lol.
