So at this point, she is doing what I had to do last year... wait. She is tired, scared, stressed and worried. She looks at Ellie and I see the love and fear in her eyes. I'm holding on to all hope that this will turn out o.k. We were fortunate that they are moving so fast. The doctor said by the way it looks, there no time to wait.

I'm keeping Ellie here tonight so Jason and Ema can get some rest...so I'm up again tonight Smilie
My heart and Pray go out to you....

Quote from ank220 :

I have always said I'd take as many as God gives me. I suspect we'll cut it off at 5 though. I'm kind of sad, but also realize that each pregnancy is getting harder on me physically. I'm just getting stinking old body-wise. Frown But - if given *my* deires, I'd be on TLC too. The Amish version of 19 Kids & Counting *laugh* (dh's family on his dad's side is Amish - just realized that most folks probably don't know that...)
Interesting, My dad had some very dear Amish friends. He met them when he was a "field man" for a dairy association - helping and advising younger farmers. He loved to spend time with his Amish buddies. And it brought back many memories of when he used to farm with horses, no electric, etc, when he was younger.

They were such wonderful friends to him. When a wind storm blew down a lot of trees on my dad's farm - a whole van load of guys came down and cut up trees for him. They worked all day long.

When my father stopped dialysis this past fall (at 89 years old) we knew he would only live about a week or so. His Amish friends came down and spent the whole day with him. When they were getting ready to leave, they all, in turn, walked up to my dad one by one, and told him what they had learned from him and shared a memory or two that meant something to him.

It was such a beautiful thing to see. So touching to see my dad being honored that way by some people he really thought the world of.

They both turned out to be on the autism spectrum. I became educated in autism. I became educated in medical issues associated with autism. I became educated in special education law. I became educated in navigating the secret mazes of getting services for them.
That is about 47 full time jobs! Wink
Quote from setsail :
I'm ok with that but I do wonder what I will do when I no longer have kids at home.
Hmmm - I had someone tell me I should get remarried because my son would grow up (ahem.. he is 31..) and leave home - and I would be all alone...

I said "OMG! Do you know how GOOD that sounds!!!! Yahoo!

Quote from setsail :
eta I've been trying to get dh to have the big V for several years. Monkey toddler was planned, and as others wrote, good thing he wasn't the first child or he might be an only. laugh out loud Dh conveniently forgets to ask for a referral to a urologist. Frown
We are a pretty resourceful group... I imagine we could handle that for you..... a couple of us could hold him down... then someone could Pirate.... we have some nurses in case we can't get the bleeding to stop.... Yeah. I think we could help...Wink

Quote from DealHog :
God will reveal something for you. Sometimes I think maybe I took the long way around to what God really had in mind for me.
I know I did. I dropped out, flunked out, or somehow quit going to school many years ago. At the time, I was going to be a teacher. Everbody kept telling me "No.You don't want to be a teacher...."

I worked several jobs. My favorite - and one I worked for years - was an Activity Director at a Nursing Home. I LOVED that job. Then I got my son one of those meditation tapes to help with learning... I didn't seem to affect him...but after a couple weeks of hearing "Now see all the blocks to learning disappear.." I signed up to go back to college.(13 years after I had left..)

At the time, I was planning on becoming a CTRS (Certified Therapeutic Recreational Specialist) and start working in consulting for long-term care recreation / activities.

Somehow - I ended up with a Bachelor's in Speech Communication and Psychology - and headed for my Master's in Speech Communication. I got a Grad Assistant position teaching undergrad courses while I went to grad school. And then, just kind of stayed teaching....

So I teach Speech Comm classes (Interpersonal Communication, Public Speaking, Oral Communication...) at a Community College and a University in the area.

I think it taught for about 6 years before I realized - OMG! I am doing what I SAID I wanted to do in the first place!!! I am teaching!

It just took me a long time and a round about way to get there...

Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts. I'm up for Ellie's 4 o'clock feeding. I think she is finally settling down and ready to go back to sleep. She's at the stage of total relaxation and contentment..eyelids heavy and on the verge of slumber. She makes it look so inviting laugh out loud

Today will be another long day. I'm hopeful.

hi all. what a long exhausting day. we were out from 11:30 this morning until 8 tonight. Much of that time was spent in the oncology office. Then it was across town for an MRI. Tomorrow morning at 8:30 she will have a biopsy.

You are not an oddball on this one. I feel the same way as you do. After I lost my daughter they told me I should never have more children. It would most likely cost me and the baby our lives. There are times I hurt inside thinking about this. hug

I was sleeping my 9:00 PM last night. Mentally I was exhausted. I do feel a little bit better this morning, but overall, just feel crappy. I really have no idea what is going on. I just hope it passes soon!

*snip*

It's OK. I am still a miserable fark. I think it's from not sleeping, worrying about bills, holiday let down, etc, etc. Plus I have a very upset feeling for the last 4 days. You know the feeling you get in your stomach, butterflies, nervous, so sure something is wrong, but you just don't know what it is yet.
Still feeling down? That ambiguous Horse feeling is the worst.

It is hard to explain, but I know that feeling. Many times I have gotten this weird feeling that something was very wrong but I couldn't put my finger on it. For instance, there have been several occasions where I've gotten this feeling out of nowhere that something was wrong with my brother (usually during the night). Then I would go in to check on him and find that he had a seizure or was having one at that moment.

That feeling can be really scary... I hate not knowing and not being able to do anything about it. Sometimes, I'll have an idea of what/who might be affected, but sometimes I have no clue. I hope you can get some clarity and peace of mind soon. Comfort

i know that dreadful feeling. bunnies, so sorry you have that feeling of foreboding.

i tend to have a very strong intuitive sense. for example, i had a feeling i was going to have an accident for several weeks leading up to the ax. and minutes before it i felt i should pull over at home and not go because something didn't feel right. i ignored it and told myself i was being lazy and looking for excuses to get out of running errands. shake head

i have also always had dreams where i see injuries/death of loved ones months before it happens, in almost exact detail.

but i have finally learned not to feel nervous/upset about these feelings and instead to see them as a gift and try to "tune in" even further: they're really a warning coming to us early to save us anguish. or atleast that's the way i see it now. and i have found every time i get a feeling like that, if I sit and focus and pray and ask for guidance as to what it is and what to do, within a few hours i usually sense what it is and then go from there in terms of solutions.

pulling over was my unasked for solution that day. i didn't listen to my inner voice.

bunnies, sending out big prayers for you that it turns out to be nothing. or something small like a 4 hour power outage. hug hug hug

Holy early delivery batman. Something woke me up this morning (5:45) it was a faint knock. It was FedEx and the Hickory Farms Ham delivery (remember from my post 2 days ago). Who knew they delivered so early? What to do with so many hams at one time, at least they can sit outside today in their cooler (as cold as it is 5 degrees when I got up)

Quote from ank220 :
Went to T. It went fine. DD wanted to start couponing for her stuff, so she did a mini-transaction (I call it mini because it's not a basket full like mine - *laugh*)
Yeah! for teaching her early. My SIL doesn't trust her daughters to learn. Give them the Qs and let them TRY. The oldest niece is 25. She needs to learn or she'll always be dependent on the SIL to do it.

That's a sweet story about your dad.

And aren't your kids supposed to grow up and move out? As much as I love mine, I am totally expecting them to grow up and get out!

Wow - that is amazingly early. I hope the hams are good!

And I agree about teaching the kids how to do it. I think my DD is totally hooked now though. *laugh* It's like something clicked for her yesterday.

Good morning all. You are up early in this thread.

Worked at target last night, was so happy because i found a comforter set marked down to $19.98 that was originally around $100. Another cashier turned me on to it as she had a guest come up earlier and buy one. bounce

Haha.. Guess I am the odd ball then.. I can't have any more kids, but wish I could laugh out loud

We had just the 3 kids for many years.. I tossed around the idea of having another off and on for 5 years or so.. Wanted a baby but didn't want to get pregnant cause I needed to lose serious weight.. Lost weight in 2003, and wasn't sure I wanted to have another one cause I didn't want to regain some of the 150 pounds I lost.. Mentioned to my DH about getting the "V" and no way was he going for it LMAO
I had my last DD in 2008 and her pregnancy was so rough, I didn't think I could do another.. when they had to do an emergency csection, I opted to have my tubes tied.. Have had no problems physically with the tubal.. But, I have had regrets about it so many times since then. At the time, I was all for it.. Didn't think I wanted anymore, thought I was too old, etc.. But, I know Thrift and I are about the same age, and when she mentioned she was pregnant again, I realized I was still young enough, and could have had more Frown I remember last time I went to the OB/GYN I was so sad to see a pregnant lady there cause it reminded me that I would never be that lady again..

So, yeah, I guess you guys think I am the weirdo.. I have 4 kids, and would have more if I could Smilie I have actually thought about adoption but it is so darn expensive.. Something about the thought of my DD growing up and not having a baby at home anymore makes me so sad.. The thing I remember is that by the time my DD gets to be a teen, or even a preteen, I may very well have grandkids, since my kids are spaced out so much.. so, I will go from mommy to momma, to grandma in the span of a few yearsWink
Have you looked into a reversal? It is an option. hug

Secret being pregnant @ 39 is far different than being pregnant @ 23. I just don't have the energy of a 20 something.

Late to the conversation, but here goes!

We have 2 kids, my DD from my first marriage is 16, and my DS will be 4 in about a week. DH and I fought for a long time about having a second child...neither of us wanted more when we got together, and I changed my mind. He didn't. After a couple of heated arguments and me moving out, we agreed on one more. Then my little man took 3 years to create. :thud:

Had complications during pregnancy and my Dr. asked if it was ok to do a tubal during my C-section because my uterus ruptured. Figured since I had promised DH I only wanted one more, it was smart to have the tubal done then so I didn't go back on my word later.

L2BAM, I know what you mean - I was just thinking yesterday that in a year and a half from where DD is now, I was pregnant with her! laugh out loud She'd better not follow in my footsteps, though - I want her to finish college, see the world, yada yada before she has kids!
