Oh wow!! Congrats!! I wonder how she is doing.
I thought the link to her Forum was in her profile, but now I don’t see it. She must have posted it somewhere, sometime…that’s how I’ve been keeping up to date. :shrug: Here it is, if you want to check it out:
http://www.watergazersden.com/forum>Thanks Lam. I seem to recall her being very skeptical about motherhood. I hope she is doing better. I will check out her site. 🙂
I remember when she posted that she was pregnant but never remember hearing anything else. I always wondered how she was doing. I didn’t know about her forum, I’ll have to go check it out. Congrats on the little one!
Hey all, indeed I am back now and have had my baby. It’s been something of a hard journey since as well since we’ve had a series of unfortunate events. First, I will say that the labor and dilvery was far easier than the entire pregnancy. I had a pretty easy go of it. The pain was bareable for me, though I did later get an epidural, just in case…and THAT needle was even nothing compared to the Lovenox stomach injections. It was a breeze. They had started Pitocin at about 10 am and I had Nicholas by 6.05 PM after about 20 or less pushes. They said I was an excellent pusher.
Anyway, the hospital kept me for 8 whole days due to my blood levels not being right to release me but I did make a bargin on day 8 to go get tested in my hometown daily to monitor it, which they agreed to so just about every day for 3-4 days I had to travel out and get tested. I am still getting tested but now it’s down to every other day or two days since the Coumadin pills I am replacing the Lovenox shots with are finiky and need strict monitoring but well worthwhile never to take those damn shots again.
And then the trouble started. Of course Nick was born with Clubfoot which was casted right away in the hospital, and he goes every week to get recasted. He is getting better and is fine although miserable the day of casting…but on top of all that travel, my husband got a flat tire. He had JUST gotten a flat about a week prior to my labor so he was using his spare aready. His tire cost somewhere around $160 which is insane. Then, my brakes started to go out. And then I got a big bulge in my tire which risked a blowout and that tire needed replacing for about $120. And, only a couple days home our plumbing sorta failed and the sewer system backed up a bit into the basement and we couldn’t use our one and only bathroom so we had to call the plumbers and you don’t want to know that price tag. And then something happened to my pug, Mugsy, and I had to take her to the vet because she was not bending down to eat and was crying. And during this trip out to the vet I went to buy gas for my car and when stepping out I threw out my back somehow. I’ve never done that before but I was instantly incapasitated and could not drive my car or make it home and had to get help. I have been on bedrest since and luckily my husband’s mother watched Nick because I couldn’t lift him at all. Mugsy did get to the vet though and they suspected an inflamed neck disk and gave me pills and told me to buy a cage (I didn’t already have one) and keep her locked in it strictly every day and night for a month. That lasted all of 3 days and nights before I quit because she cried throughout and was all worked up and depressed. She appears fine now and bends to eat and everything like normal so I assume it was more a sprain or pinched nerve. Lets hope.
So here I am now. I am finally able to sit at the computer. All drawing had been haulted up until this point as well so my werewolf book is behind yet again but it is still underway and close to being finished. I just keep adding things which is totally my own problem but I have reached over 1500 illustrations now. I will be sure to keep everyone posted about when it’s finally FINALLY completed and ready for sale! All profits of the book will go towards the medical bills and of course baby diapers and formula…wow this stuff is expensive and drains you fast.
Dag girl, you have had no luck at all!! Besides the baby and easy delivery. Congrats again and I wish you better luck!
