Oh Sara, I don’t even know what to say. My grandmother passed in January but she was old and we kind of expected it. I can’t even imagine losing my mother. I’m so sad for your family’s loss. As much as it hurts now, it does get a little easier as time goes by. Hang in there and let us know if there’s anything we can do.

dealing with dcyf let my oldest daughter be interviewed on video at a place while several people watched. got a pamphlet there about my rights didnt get to read it till after the whole process. The police are not charging ex with anything. Dcyf came to house i let them bastards in shouldnt have. Tricks of the trades were definatly used in my situation. They wanted to interview my youngest child i told her i had no problem with that at all but i wanted to be in the room she stated that that was concerning to her that i wouldnt let her do it alone and why would i let my oldest go and be interviewed with one person i told her she was video taped during the process and there were seven other people wathcing it. She stated statistics showed that childern do not speak in front of there parents making me feel like i was going to checks next to my name for not cowoperating. I then stated i have an idea if your telling me that its better to do it alone with me out of the room i have a video camra and i will set it up on the table and she can do it. Wouldnt you know she stated that she could not do that as they need to take a copy with them for evidence wouldnt you know i had two video camras and was willinhg for her to take a copy. then she got on the phone and spoke with her supervisor and they told her to say its because they get rid of all evidence after the case is closed. i also asked for copys of my case file as i read in the brochure and she said i cant have them until so many days after it is closed how the hell is anyone supposed to protect them selves against anything being used against them while a case is going on. Oh then she basicall threatened me with i can do whatever i want i can go to your daughters school and interview her there if i want..

So, they finally started calling you after Xander had already seen Dr. Eyes? Frustrating! Of course the local pediatrician would refer you to Dartmouth, makes sense. Good for you for finally calling someone else, though!

Comment on Captain Squish by Abby

Whoa, we just finished watching, “Captain America.”

When I worked at the local elementary school, towards the end of the first grade, the teacher pulled out these old books that had obviously been used for years. They were about how a sperm fertilizes an egg and that’s how a baby is made. I believe it was some sort of animal that was in the book, instead of humans. That seemed to be when they broached the subject. I’m not sure what I would tell my 4 1/2-year-old if she asked about that right now!

Comment on Week 33 – Braxton Hicks? by Sara

Hi Emily – 33 weeks, congrats! I’m not a doctor, but your description sounds to me like Braxton Hicks. I’d be willing to bet the first thing your doctor’s office will ask you is how far apart are the contractions? If they go away with rest, and don’t continue on a regular schedule then it’s usually just your body preparing for the big day. But, if you’re nervous, give your doctor’s office a call. Peace of mind will certainly cause less stress Good luck on the home stretch!

Comment on Week 38 – All My Bags Are Packed – I’m Ready To Go… by Elizabeth

Well, I’m 38 weeks +1 day pregnant today. I’m surprised I went this long. A month ago I was admitted to the hospital with preterm labor/contractions. They tried to stop contractions but it never worked. It only messed with my heart since it was heart medicine they chose. Only the past 3 days had I had a break from contractions and back pain. Now this morning, that’s all I have is the wonderful back pain and stomach feeling tight. I noticed my belly seems a lot smaller than it was a couple days ago. But baby is moving well so I guess maybe I just lost water weight.
I’m honestly not holding my breath about her coming out any time soon. I know that usually babies are born two weeks before or after the due date. We’ll see. My mom had all her children exactly on their due dates.
I guess for now it’s a waiting game to see when she’ll be here. I hate that she’s going to be here in the Winter where it will be all cold and she’ll have to go for appointments all the time. But what can ya do. I plan to keep her safe and bundled up though.
