I’ve sort of fell off the wagon here, but I figured I’d give you ladies an update. I have been moved up to Nashville for weekly treatments at Vanderbilt. Ethan is not able to swallow anymore for the mass pushing in on his airway and esophagus, but is still able to produce urine, so my amniotic fluid builds up fairly quickly every week and it has gotten up to 50 AFI and they have had to drain up to 1,650 mL of fluid off of me at one time. Because of the strain the quick fluid buildup and the weekly amnioreductions are putting on my body, they are going to take Ethan on December 21st, which is 2 weeks away. They decided to do the EXIT C-section due to the fact that they want him to be able to have oxygen running to him from me while they are trying to ensure he can breathe when he is cut from me. He will be in the NICU for a while and they will do the surgery to remove the mass when they think he is mature enough to do so. We are very anxious, yet excited to meet him so early and we would appreciate continuous prayer for our little Ethan. 💙 I will post updated pictures of him.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

At What Age Should a Child Make Their Own Breakfast?

Make your own breakfast! At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.

update Levels have dropped to 50. I'll do follow up bloodwork to track it down to 0

So Dr has sent me in to do labs because I mentioned to him how itchy I’ve been these last couple of days. Any other moms gone through this before? He mentioned if something came up in my blood we’d have to do my section sooner than what it is scheduled for.

i finally let him do it I finally let DF throw away my foundations. He says I look better without it. He said he hates seeing me cover my face with make up when I can just wear mascara and eyeliner. He says it makes me look fake and he said he's not saying it to be mean, hes saying it because he cares. Im glad he's real with me. He says I have natural beauty. He says he doesn't like it when I dye my hair or wear make up because he loves my natural beauty. I know some girls feel as though that they need make up but they don't. Make up to me is just to do it for fun and sometimes when I feel insecure. Hes the only man that has made me feel beautiful without my hair straightened, without make up on and in my baggy clothes. I can burp in front of him, I can do weird things in front of him, etc. He has taught me so many things in the last (almost) 3 years and im so grateful for him. He taught me how to make pork chops and steaks, how to play some videogames, how to make white rice, how to budget, etc.
