Losing It

Nothing is worse than losing something that is not only sentimental but not even yours.

I lost a photo card. It holds photos from the last year, photos from the last few months, photos of the last days and moments of my grandmother.

I borrowed it cause I wanted to upload a few photos my mom took of Blaine. A very festive and fun picture of our family and a very special one of Blaine in a new homemade shirt, his Big brother shirt.

I put it in my pocket and by the time I got home it was gone. I have checked everywhere and so had Bobby.

The worst part is I have to tell my mom and I just know it will break her heart to know the photos are no longer here. It breaks my heart and we are kinda kindred spirits. My mom means the world to me and to disappoint her is the worst part about it all. I love my parents,my mom is life my best friend she knows everything about me and I love that.

Mommy groups...oh no!

Yesterday Blaine and I ventured to the library to our first ever toddler group. It was supposed to be a reading/story time and I just knew he would love it. We arrive fashionably late as we do to just about everything because I am just kind of rockstar mom. The lady who lead the reading was very good, other than she never made eye contact with anyone but the ceiling (I have a very hard time with no eye contact). She had some very creative songs and handmotions to keep kids and parents alike entertained but it was quickly apparent that we were the new ones. The other mothers were helping with each others children and they all knew what was going on and what was next. I have never felt comfortable in these situations but I do what I do best...fake it! After story time was gym play time. I thought perfect...they will have a little PE class with toddlers and parents. This is my area of experience so I was excited till I got to the gym with my little monster full of energy and there were ...

My Amnio-reduction and this week's news

Image
I want to document pretty much everything about this crazy pregnancy now so I don't forget this crazy ride. I posted I had an amnio reduction on Sunday afternoon. My doctor did it since the high risk doctor was not available. He had done many before so I was okay with it. They brought the ultrasound machine into my hospital room, a bucket that said amnio reduction and said let's do this. The nurse laid out the vacuum bottles, needle, gloves, tubing and cleaning material while my doctor measured and checked baby and best place to do the reduction. There are four pockets areas and they want to do the largest and furthest away from baby. Bobby was in the room the whole time and experienced it with me, which was nice. I was asked if I needed numbing meds but told most don't use it. I opted out of the extra shot and went for no meds. The doctor talked the nurse through her steps and they began. I later asked the nurse how common this procedure was and she replied she had only ...

Meeting Dr. Ian Dunn

Image
Mom and I went to the city, OKC, on Halloween day to meet with the neurosurgeon Ian Dunn.  He walks into the room, and you can feel his confidence.  It was not a prideful or boastful confidence but the confidence of a man who has worked hard to get to where he is in his profession. He was kind, had great patient-provider connections, and was honest with everything.  During the first part of the visit, he reviewed my updated MRIs and showed us a better picture of the tumor. He shared how it is potentially touching a nerve and maybe a vessel and how he will preserve the nerve and vessel and leave tissue of the tumor if needed. Dunn shared the tumor will rarely, or never, come back.  He has never seen one return in his experience.  Mom asked about cancer and his previous cases.  Dunn does fewer than five cases yearly, and I will be number four in 2023.  It is rare to need this surgery. In the twenty-four cases he has ever performed, he has only seen patho...
