Coffee anyone ?

Congratulations!

I had a friend who did a home birth, with midwife, but started hemorrhaging and had to go to the hospital. I seem to recall that the hospital staff was not the nicest...since she was a "home birther"

Yeah - DS said the first attending was an a%%hole. With people like that it's no wonder others want home births. They're part of the problem.

@SageHill congratulations. I hope things settle down with mom and baby.

I have officially joined the Grandma group! I have a grandson!!
DDIL was planning a home birth, did all the work, found the midwife team etc. She went into labor yesterday (though I think it's been a few days actually), team was set and at their house. The baby's heart rate would drop too much every time she pushed. The birthing team said - time to transfer to the hospital. Ended up with a C-Section. Baby is in NICU because his blood sugar goes low, but rises when he is fed. Hmm just typing that seems like "of course that would happen". So he's being monitored. From what DS has said they can only look at him. Doesn't sound right to me. Mama Bear inside me is growling. They're at a hospital that no one likes. All fancy and new, but it's not one to go to. Not that they had a choice.
Now we're in a sit and wait - ~should be at the hospital for two nights (translates to home on Friday). They are local so that's good.

Congratulations on your new grandson. I will be praying for him and your family.

Awake about 4:30 again. Fed outdoor cats, and Debbie, brewed coffee, made toast with my homemade bread, and took my supplements as I should.

Calling Social Security today to schedule activation, and also Medicare to sign up for Part A.

Tentative retirement date is December 1.

Turned off alarms last night, thinking I'd sleep in. Didn't work. Body clock woke me at 6:15
There's a goat auction tomorrow. Hoping to get a few separated to go. It's not always successful. They often refuse.

Hitting coffee now for that caffeine kick. Hot tea at get up was soothing but not energizing. need to go milk a goat.

Enjoy your day everyone.
