What you really really want

Hey hey ladies! I feel fabulously rested. It is amazing what happens when you don't wake up coughing your brains out in the middle of the night.


On the other hand H has caught what I had and we have a man cold in the house. It is tragic.

I can't believe that fashion was ever acceptable.

Taking the baby to the store to get the things we forgot but need for tomorrow. Oy.

[danitaec]

Also, it's been over 36 hours since my last pump. Cautiously optimistic over here!

I just spent far too long looking at Spice Girl gifs. FFWC I may have dressed up as Sporty Spice for group costume day during my senior year's spirit week at my high school lol.

I'm seeing a little improvement in S' diapers today. He's already had 2 since 6:30, though. I'm stuffing him full of banana hoping it will do the trick. The NP is supposed to be calling me at some point this afternoon to check in and discuss what we need to do next. I plan on being a lot more firm with my questions and not let her just gloss right over them this time.

Could really use some T&Ps. My childhood best friend is in the hospital to deliver her baby girl at 27 weeks due to continuing blood pressure problems.
*loss warning*

SPOILER: Click to show

She lost her last pregnancy at 20 weeks due to undiagnosed pre-eclampsia leading to fetal demise. She delivered him stillborn in December of last year, so this was already a difficult time emotionally for her and her husband.

Her C section will likely be this morning.

[hollydfromtn]

lilyelayne definitely praying. That is absolutely heart breaking.

[aggiebug]

Oh lilyelayne praying so hard for your friend and her baby.

hollydfromtn I hope S continues to improve and get the answers you need. Do not be afraid to ask for a second opinion if you need it.

[aggiebug]

dreemkin thank you for asking. He is stable. Yesterday they ran a lot of tests. Apparently he had a seizure so they gave him meds that knocked him out and hr slept a lot. I think there is a lot they don't know at this point and it will be a few days before they get an accurate prognosis. Last we heard he was still in the er they hadn't even gotten him to a room yet almost 24hrs later. I can't imagine being another patient who is more stable than granddad sounds hectic.

[kartish]

lilyelayne lots of T&Ps for your friend!

Going through some hand me downs this morning. One of my coworkers brought them in for me, she is so sweet. Her little boy is a year older than V, and he had some really nice duds!

I have to go in search of a pie pumpkin today after V wakes up from his first nap. I hope I can find one.

lilyelayne, I can't even imagine what they have been through. T&Ps for her.

My grandma is having surgery today. (they think she has a bowel obstruction of some kind and have to go in and see what it is). It was supposed to start at 9.. still hasn't. But since she has to have the surgery.. my mom isn't doing thanksgiving tomorrow. We are heading to SIL's instead.

Planning on heading out shopping on Friday. DH wants to get the christmas stuff down tonihgt. I am sure he will be getting a tree and putting the outside lights up on Friday. The last LSU game for the year is saturday, so he is headed to that. Girls weekend for me and DD. Plan to do some small business saturday shopping, and then some down time just she and I.

Sunday, depending on how my grammy does, we may do delayed thanksgiving at my moms.

[dreemkin]

T&Ps and hugs to everyone going through tough stuff!

[lilyelayne]

Thanks, y'all. Baby is here! She is stable! Mom is doing fine. Dad should be allowed in the NICU to see her soon. She weighs 1lb 9oz.

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug continued prayers for your grandfather in law.
cloe111479 praying for your grandmother. Hope her surgery goes smoothly.

[mishka29]

Thanks
For checking.

She did ok. She had a few kinks in her intestines so they fixed that. She's in icu for the next few days mostly because of her age but otherwise she is ok.

An old friend of mine recently posted photos of his daughter when she was born at 32 weeks due to severe pre-e. She was 2lb 10oz. She's now a healthy active 3 year old! It's amazing how much these little ones can fight (and how much we can now do to help them). Sending strength for you and your friend and her LO.

Thank you. It's always reassuring to hear about preemies thriving.

I was born at 30 weeks, 3lb even, so I'm pretty familiar with preemie success stories - even before all the wonderful leaps in NICU technology in the decades since. But they are nonetheless super reassuring.
