@Wildfire: so he's a 32 weeker baby. Only 4 lbs born.
So he gets the full nicu setup, oxygen, feeding tube, heating pads, etc.
As of yesterday, i can now hold him for a bit at a time. :3
My other kids are on extended vacation. Lol. My mom came and got them and my sister decided she also wanted to take them. So my kids are gone for 3 weeks, which works for me needing to be by the nicu for a few weeks, at least.
Thank you. :3

@Koah: Oh... so he's still pretty tiny - he needed a few extra weeks :( Did you go in to labor, then, or did they induce you due to complications? Is he likely to be ok after all this nicu stuff? I'm glad you can at least hold him for a bit <3 At least you don't have to worry about the older kids for a couple weeks :3 How are you holding up??

@Wildfire: i had one breakdown day which broke my husband. Lol so he's been home recovering. XD
I don't think he's really seen me cry-cry.
My water broke last monday. I drove myself to the hospital all while calling my husband and making sure roommate could manage kids and dogs.
I got flown to a Nicu. They tried to keep him in for at least a week, but i lasted 4 days. Went into labor Thursday. Quick birth. Nicu took him and set him up.
He should be fine given a few weeks here. They're goals are to develope the things that needed more development.
Im staying in a non profit housing next to the hospital. That facility is amazing. Im chipper with all things considered. Im recovering quickly.

@Wildfire: nope she hasnt.
she had people come measure the windows but nothing past that. and that was at least a couple months ago. and no mention of new windows coming. i doubt she's gonna even pull through fixing the windows tbh because apparently windows and or insulation too expensive but renovating a whole bathroom isnt lol

i think she's just gonna cancel the windows deal tbh.

we're just gonna move tbh and hope my dad is able to find a job where he wont be around a lot of people.

lots of recipes but everyone has different diets so we all have 3 different meals so its a bit tough to figure out something everyone can have.

@Koah: That sounds really chaotic and stressful, Koah. I'm sorry you (all of you) had that experience *hugs tightly* At least it seems like you and baby are pretty well set up for the next few weeks, though, and that you're getting all the care you could want <3 I sincerely hope everything goes well for the both of you and that he continues to develop the way he needs to <3 Do you need anything?




@Purpsy: Right... BBQ that got rained out. It sounds like you had a good day anyway. I'm happy for you for that :3




@MoodyB: Your landlady sounds like a nightmare, tbh. I hope that you can move... and soon.
Three different diets in your house? Oh, that's got to be a nightmare - on a number of levels! Ugh!

Today is a day for cookies, and leftover pizza, and cake... and coffee (of course!!) ...or cocoa...

Good morning. :3

I have no idea what today is going to have in store for me - it could include almost anything from running errands, to cleaning up around the house, to putzing around the garden, to bringing my elder son to the clinic (he's been feeling a little off and had several nosebleeds the last few days), to taking a nap with the dog because I didn't sleep great last night, to washing the literal heaps of pollen off my car...
... but right now, coffee :3

@Wildfire: as far as needs go, i thought i had a few weeks left before arrival so I've been trying to mental inventory all I've gotten for baby at the house. XD
Dust has settled and now my husband needs to decide what kind of schedule he wants to approach with this situation. (With his work n going home to our dogs)
I don't have my laptop, so my replies wont be quick anymore. :d

@Koah: Yeah, I can imagine that you just grabbed the most essential things on your way out the door to the hospital after your water broke, so don't worry about quick replies. Besides, I tend to get distracted with one thing or another, so my replies aren't always quick either ;) <3
Is the hospital far from home? I hope it's not too much of a commute for your poor hubby! How is he holding up - is he doing ok?
Are you fairly well prepared for baby at the house, I hope?

★彡 I feel anxious for unknown reasons. Maybe because I chose to be a lazybum today and avoid some stuff that needs to be done, I don't know. But I was completely fine earlier hmm... 彡★

@Purpsy: That's something at least. I'm glad it's not too bad.
Maybe if you got up and did something it would help?

★彡 @Wildfire: Yeah maybe that would help actually.
I'll walk around a bit and listen to some music for a bit. 彡★

@Purpsy: I'm glad you got to feeling better yesterday :3


@MoodyB: That does not sound like a fun situation to be in, especially with a landlady.

Good morning. (It's unusual for me, but I could actually go for a cappuccino right now! XD )

It's raining.
The dog is hiding.
I have an appointment later.
And I ran across a very large black "racer" snake yesterday in my garden... he was probably 5' long, and looking quite healthy (and he'll remain that way as long as he doesn't get too close to me - lol)
