MONKEY MUSINGS DAILY OPEN DISCUSSION #53 11/24/09 - 1/21/10

[Northern Rose]

Good Afternoon Monkeys.

Klaas, Petey is just adorable. That is the sweetest lil face. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Boo so sorry about your accident, but so thankful you were not hurt.

When God opens a door, he opens a window. The tow yard said they would call it even if I signed over my smushed Jeep to them to cannibalize. Saw that one coming, Jeep parts are a great commodity. Next the first Jeep I went to see I like a lot. Took my brother in law to see it and he likes it too. So I'm taking it to a mechanic tomorrow and if he OK's it, I'll have gotten a new ride before noon! I'm praying that God gives me a great feeling or a yucky feeling to show if I should get it or not. So far it's a good feeling.

Klaas your puppy is waaay too cute!! Take as much video as you can, they grow up so fast!!!

Boo so sorry to hear about your Jeep. I agree that there is a reason for things to happen, you just have to hang on to figure out why this is a blessing.

I dropped in to say hi and say I hope everyone had a very blessed Christmas. I also want to share the latest news on daughter, she is getting better, still sleeping a lot, is on bed rest. She is terrified that her baby is not growing as she says her belly is not growing, she even took a picture to prove to everyone her belly is not growing, keep in mind she is a tiny girl, normally wearing a size 1 jeans and weighing maybe a 100 pounds. I can't stop laughing. If she could only see what I do..lolol and this is just a day or so ago, she is now I believe 16 weeks along.

Searching~your daughter and new grandbaby are in my prayers, but I would also tell you to tell her that every woman carries differntly, I a 5'4 and 105 lbs, when I was 7 months pregnant I had only gaind 6 lbs and was only 120 lbs when my child was born, I had many people ell me they thought I was too small and should be checked for IUGR, but my kids (both of them) were born between 36-37 weeks over 7 lbs each. I never even wore maternity clothes, so it's possible she may carry towards her back which I and my daughter both did.........it tends to make you look alot less preggers than you are, but again everyone is different. My doctor made my worries ease by showing me the ultrasounds which showed the size of the baby and told me not to worry about the size of my belly. 

Thank you IM. She is already in maternity clothes but swears her belly is not growing, it is, she is getting huge, so I have to laugh. I gained 7 pounds total when I was pregnant with her and lost 14 pounds when she was born, still have not figured that out, she was 4 pounds 14 ounces at birth and 3 months early. I keep telling her she can not gauge her pregnancy by other women because all are different. I am mom, what do I know

Exactly-I had so many women come up to me when I was preggers with the second, and tell me I should be checked for IUGR, but I remembered the first time and my babies were born early and bigger than their babies go figure.......everyone is different and I hope she doesn' stress over this.

As far as being a mom ...........we know nothing (until they have a child of their own )

She is stressing over everything, though she was still young when we lost her baby brother, she remembers all of what happened and all, so she is really stressing. I told her just because we lost him due to a defect, does not mean she will have problems. He was anencephalic and to the best of my knowledge, that is not hereditary so I don't think she has to worry, but she has health issues and they have her as high risk since she has had so many problems already with her diabetes, blood pressure and stomach pains and issues with her cervix so she is worried. She seems to be getting over the hump, but those memories of her brother still scare her. We all keep telling her that her belly is indeed growing, but she of course says no it isn't.  I told her, she just don't see what we do because it is her carrying. I also think it is a boy, she looks like she swallowed a basketball already, she says girl.

QM - you have never done anything to get banned.  Do you believe Fanny's post a couple pages back to be OK?  I had no intention of banning Fanny after I banned CC until Fanny made that post.  CC absolutely deserved to be banned and was given many chances.  Fanny pushed it too far with that last post of hers.  I wish Fanny the best, I can no longer deal with her pouting.

Klaas, honestly I can't say I thought her post was ok, but I guess it depends on how you look at it too. I thought that she was just venting. I understand others may have felt otherwise, that's just the way it goes I guess. I do really wish she would have taken a little more time to think more before she posted. I almost felt as though I was reading a post written by someone else, it just didn't seem like Fanny was writing it. So I have to say I wish she hadn't wrote it, atleast not in the way she did. I want to be honest here is all, like I said I did like Fanny and I don't want to be an odd man out now. But, I'm not going to pretend I didn't like her now just because she is gone.

I liked Fanny and will always like her, she may have gone off 'half cocked" but she had a big heart and was quite endearing in her own way. I am sorry she has gone and I don't think the site will be better for her leaving.
I also like everyone on here no matter what their drives or idiosyncrasies, I too wish this didn't have to happen but life happens and we have to deal with it. I will still be reading here still it's hands down the best site and always will be.

You are not the odd man out QM.

Sorry this is late but I found out after the holidays.
