more hugs to RFF

also wishes: that this is benign, easy to remove, and very early in its development

but Heather, for the sake of the baby, you need to SETTLE DOWN .. take deep calming breaths, and trust ...

why?

because when you worry, fret, and let fears overtake you, your system is flooded with adrenaline

the baby will be affected by this too ... which you don't want

seriously, right now, you need to take care of the two of you ... only for these very few weeks ...

I'm saying this because my second son was definitely affected by my worries and fright, the last few weeks of gestation

I was developing eclampsia, my husband was up in Alaska fishing, out of touch, I had no close friends nor relatives (my hub at the time had antagonized all of them and driven them away), and my mother was ill with pneumonia (living two states away, and my dad did not want her to travel away from him)

was so bad, I had to drive myself to the hospital (in Seattle, from Edmonds) when I went into labor .. I stuck it out at home as long as I could, hoping I could find someone to take me

had to answer a great many questions about possible drug usage, after the baby was born ... and I hadn't taken anything ... it was all simply the hormones circulating in my body ... luckily he settled down a couple of weeks later

I do NOT want this to happen to you !

You were right! Those were Grace's birds.

Yay for you! CGG has some nice birds. I have 2 of hers, my gf has a couple, and I know Ogress has a bunch. I particularly like the look of my Barnevelder, love the color and lacing. And she lays some pretty terra cotta colored eggs! Then a couple of my 11 week old chicks are offspring X's of the light sussex I got from her. They are both lovebugs. Unfortunately, my handsome boy (exhibition black orp X light sussex) is going to have to find a new home. He is GORGEOUS, huge and very, very sweet. I so wish he could stay here, and I don't want him to go to freezer camp!
He's free to anyone who'd like to let him come live at their house, just in case you know, anyone has room? Where's my pleading icon?

Yeah yeah, I know - like no one else had any nice cockerels that needed a home, but of course I hatched him, I think he's special! He was only 8 weeks old in this pic. He's 11 weeks now and bigger, more filled out and his colors are beautifully iridescent.

Oh no... I'm so sorry about your chicks! Fingers crossed that they pull through.

When my kids where little I was a SAHM....but I still worked...I did medical transcription. I could never home school. I don't have the patience....by the end of the day one of us (me or the kids) would have been in the corner, in the fetal position, sucking my/their thumb, rocking back and forth.

Did you actually work from home with the medical transcriptionist stuff?

Yes, I did. I worked for a company called MedQuist. Their headquarters is in New Jersey...I typed radiology for 3 hospitals in Colorado. Did this for 5 years. I finally could not take it any more as I had to be able to talk to someone over 4' tall...and someone who was not just talking to me because they needed something - lunch, bottle, diaper changed, etc.

That is when I quit and got my real estate license. Did real estate for almost 5 years and now I am back at the hospital doing Medical Transcription. Funny now the world goes around.

Oh, btw, yes, all the information I needed came across the phone lines and the computer. I typed it up and sent it back via the computer. I am sure in today's day and age it is all done via internet - not the phone lines like I was doing.

I have been down this road. I know it is not easy but you need to take it easy. No matter how much you worry or how upset you get it will not do anything of any good. At this point it is all in the hands of others. It is at times like this that one needs to trust in the doctors and modern medicine and have faith in what ever you believe. I will keep you, your mom and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
