So my toddler fell down about half a flight of stairs tonight to our basement. She's okay except her eye hit the banister that holds the hand rail. She will for sure have a black eye now. This is our first major fall/black eye event. Basically breaking my heart. And now I don't think I'll ever let her do stairs solo again. I am sorry to hear. Hope she is doing better. You might want to talk to her doctor to make sure she doesn't need to be examined. I know someone who had something similar happen and their doctor wanted to check to make sure it wasn't more serious. |

birdsofafeather, you didn't ask me but I wanted to provide my two cents. My dad died when I was 15 and I have no idea who was at the service. I was completely overwhelmed by everything (which relates to how young I was too). I'd suggest writing a sincere, heartfelt note or card to her explaining that you cannot attend the funeral and about how much her mother meant to you (if applicable) or how much she (your friend) means to you. Looking back, it's those special notes that left a lasting impression on me. The day is so overwhelming/emotional/chaotic. I'd do handwritten and I'd either mail it or hand it to her if possible. <3

They think he has a UTI and tested the bacteria to determine the correct antibiotic. We have to switch him since the original one wasn't going to work.
He has another fever today so his doctor wants to see him. They will probably do more iv antibiotics in the clinic to save us an er visit. Clinic takes 45 minutes, ER is hours even after we get fast tracked to a room.
They also think the slight cold he has could be causing the fever. He passed it to me and the infection is more in the lungs than producing congestion. I am slightly achy.

Ok I'm not caught up at all. I'm on page 7 (on mobile) but I just want to say that I have been a vegetarian for almost ten years, and not slipped up (other than occasionally seafood) even with my first pregnancy. I'm reading all this CFA convo and I am legitimately considering going to get some nuggets. I've been craving them for months now and reading this is just putting me over the edge. Trying to sort out my feelings about it.....

grumpycat clucky blabbermouth a thank you all. I did talk to my nurse (also a good friend) who spoke with my doctor. Said a few things to watch for and bring her in if she exhibits those. So far, so good. Thank goodness. I go in Tuesday for my 14 week appt and will bring her with too. Just because. annperkins I love HomeGoods. Good luck on your search!

birdsofafeather It is totally understandable that you wouldn't be able to make the funeral with all the days off that you are taking for the wedding, etc. I agree with grumpycat to send her a letter or a card. I wouldn't mention the wedding in the letter/card - just simply say that your obligations at work won't allow you to be there and leave it at that. Then let her know that you are there for her and how great her mom was.

I am so upset right now. My clinic did a promotional live question/answer video with their midwives (the one I see plus 1 other MW) tonight and I learned that their midwives do not attend VBAC births. They said that they're too high risk and there can be a conflicts with decision making if they are there in a supportive role.
I'm pissed because I've being seeing my midwife for over 4 years- throughout my pregnancy with DS, for yearly visits, and now during this pregnancy. She's known since I first met her that I wanted a med-free birth and she's known ever since I had to have a c-section with DS that I wanted to try for a med-free VBAC. Not ONCE has she told me that she wouldn't be able to attend the birth. What's the fucking point of seeing someone throughout my entire pregnancy if she can't even deliver my baby?? Now I'm wondering if I should just switch providers. This may seem silly to some but I'm seriously so upset. I really held this woman in the highest regard- she is so smart, caring, attentive, and I trusted her. But now I almost feel like I've been lied to.

pootsen Though my birth plan isn't the same, I would be highly upset if my OB wasn't able to be there to support the kind of birth I wanted. I've been induced with all 3 and would be heartbroken if she told me she couldn't be there for #4 since I had been induced before. I realize it isn't the same, but I completely understand and would be giving her a call in the morning.

I'm so sorry pootsen. Can she be present for the birth, just not the one who actually delivers? This being #5 I'm at the point now where I don't give a fuck who takes the baby out, just get it out of me. But I have never had a c-section so I can't comment on how you must feel going forward with a VBAC. I hope you can come to a decision you're at peace with. |

Quinn - thank you for your kind words. It sounded like she cannot be present at all- they mentioned that there could be conflicts with decision making and I can see why they wouldn't want to pay 2 providers for 1 birth. And omg! congrats on boy #5! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
