Sorry guys, I have been MIA. Son trip was awesome until we had to take him to the plane. I had to hug him and run as the tears were flowing.
So we drop him off on that Friday, after having so much fun with both of them for two days. We drop FDIL at home on our way back and then Son calls me late that evening, after he landed. Yeah, apparently she was due to start her period while we were down there and didn't. They didn't say anything because she had been on that awful brain de-swelling drug while she was in the hospital last month and was thinking it might be that. Well it wasn't.
As soon as we dropped her off, she went to the store, then went back to the store and got 4 more after the first one came up positive. Bless her heart. She was supposed to have another surgery this past Thursday, so she wanted to know quickly. So she is texting Son frantically while he is still in the air, even though she knew he couldn't get them until he landed...Lol. She called her doctor, who immediately got her an appointment for Wednesday with a specialized baby doc. She saw her, and between all of them, decided to postpone her surgery until she is into her second trimester and now they will do it while she is awake.
So, they got out of order....Lol. Got engaged a week prior and now expecting. They still want to wait until he gets back next May to get married. I am excited, they are excited although we are all hating that he will be gone during her entire pregnancy. We are all concerned about her surgery, but they are assuring us that the way they will do it now is very low risk for the baby. So I now have a GC due Dec. 21st, and the other, which OS/DIL still has not told us about, will be due end of October. I am grateful that FDIL wants us involved. That girl is one tough cookie.
Secondly, the weekend we got back, had major issues with SD. Will not bore you with the details, but she was breaking house rules and when we sat her down to talk about it, she turned into a screaming banshee. Name calling, disrespect, you name it.....we tried. It ended with my DH finally having enough of her mouth and he grounded her for two weeks, she went in her room and slammed the door. Next day, after school, her Mother sends my DH a text saying SD has moved out. She had packed all her stuff and left, with us finding out later that she moved in with her GM (Mother's Mother). So DH and Ex went back and forth for a little bit, with him telling her that it was not teaching SD anything to let her do this because she didn't like that he grounded her. Mother was taking up for her, making excuses...same ole' same ole' and it pretty much ended with DH telling her that there was no reason for Ex to contact us anymore then. DH was upset about how it ended, but also said he wouldn't do anything different. During the screaming, she said that she was planning on leaving after grad in two weeks anyway but told us that is was none of our business where she was going. So SD is gone. She left her laptop and when she tried every way in the world for us to meet her Mother and give it to her, which we refused and told her she could come get it, she finally showed up this weekend. DH told her he would always love her and hated that she felt she had to just pack and leave without talking to him. She was civil and when he said, "I guess this is it. I'll never see you again?", she did smile and say, "No, I'll be back on occasion." I think he felt better after that.
I'm not going to lie. It has been so nice at the house the last week. I hate it for DH but even he realizes it was coming anyway. Then during this week, I started dropping things. I couldn't hold an object in my left hand long before I would lose my grip. So I called my Doctor and they moved up my nerve tests to today. Just got back and I will have the results tomorrow. We will see what they say.
So a couple of chaotic weeks and my left hand is giving me fits, so I have been trying to stay off the computer too much. Got SD's room all cleaned up and things have settled down at the house.
Sorry about not being around....I keep telling everyone to please come up with a big pin to pop this drama bubble I seem to be surrounded with. I am grateful for a YS/FDIL that really want us to be involved. FDIL has been calling or texting daily...she's truly a joy and I appreciate her efforts to make sure we know she wants us to be involved. I even went as far as to ask her, "Ok, I have heard that many women don't want people at the hospital, even in the waiting room during birth. I want you to know now that I want to do what you are comfortable with and however you want it." She laughed and said, "I fully expect you to be there, bouncing up in down in the waiting room, sending in notes saying...will you hurry up already!" Have I mentioned she is just wonderful?
