About Marietta

Marietta is the nickname of my late grandmother. She lived a long life and we were glad to have her.

The picture I used is a painting by Mary Cassatt, an American Impressionist. It is called "Young Mother Sewing." You can see that I like to be relatively private about my personal information when communicating over the internet, but the Cassatt piece about sums it up.

I was here in Autumn 2007 and was sad to leave too soon in December. Back again now, and there's no telling how long I'll stick around. Long or short, I'm not anxious this time around. What will be will be, and it'll be alright.

These are my blogs (links on the right):

10 weeks, 1 day (May 15, 2008) Good sono today. See blog ...

11weeks and something (May 24, 2008) The cat may be getting out of the bag a bit earlier than I was hoping. See blog ...

Here comes the flood (June 8, 2008) OK, we've shared this with our daughter and we're preparing for the rest of the world to get wind of our news. See blog ...

A visit with Petunia (June 11, 2008) I had a nice ultrasound today at the perinatologist's office. DD is developing a loving relationship with her sibling. See blog...

When can I just freaking relax?? (June 16, 2008) More of the ups and downs that torment me.

Away for a Spell (July 7, 2008) Just a little update before stepping out for a couple of weeks.

Petunia's On Her Way (July 25, 2007) An ultrasound that *wasn't* problem-focused. Yay!

If I squish you...I'm sorry... (August 5, 2008) Big sister sings a special song to her fetus baby sister.

Home Again (August 13, 2008) Returning from another family visit.

Right On Target (August 15, 2008) A good sono. This time I didn't even cry!

Hi, well we are now on Tuesday and I have managed to talk with Mum but at the moment her father has been rushed into hospital and has needed a blood transfusion and has sever low blood pressure and no explanation for it, but then he has just had cancer. I have talked and I feel I am a big part of his security and continuity and have said to Mum I will continue until the end of the summer holidays or until she moves home, which again I think will be at the end of the summer holidays. I have asked Mum to talk to him and to explain what is going on as much as I will talk to him to sya what we will be doing in 5 minutes time so he is aware. Mum is struggling to find anyone to have him, she has waited for me for a good 16 years and has had no help before.

I am pleased we had a great meeting and and I have asked mum to be near by just in case it happens again as I am not entitled to any help from anyone, which seems silly, but there is not that many people who will have children with special needs in their homes.

Thanks again for your help and support it is so nice to know how many people care about this kind of subject, thank you x

I was feeling so dizzy this weekend actually, had to lay down a few times and eating didnt help. Im thinking it had soemthing to do with blow flow issues or something along those lines. Other than that, Im not really feeling too pregnant other than the occassional baby movements. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

Hi, Chica:

I hope your week is starting off to a good one.

My husband and I are up...well, he's dosed off and I am alone working for two clients.

I am fine, just so much to do in life.

This will be a great week, despite the craziness of life.

Smiles,

Debora :-)

You are right, I wouldnt give her back for anything, no money or nothing, I love her to death, and honestly I have already forgot the pain, and will have another, trying to start next year... lol I can't wait. Have a good night hun

ourBaby - Sunday, 3 August
I know isn't it amazing. I am pretty big already I go to the doc on Thursday well see how much I have gained again.
I just love feeling her kick. I have had allergies in the early am and can tell I scare here when I sneeze it's cute becuase right after I sneeze she starts moving...

I feel I am carring higher then I did with my son.

Hope you had a good weekend. I went to Carter's this weekend can couldn't resist in buying her some outfits...

Do you have names picked out?

carmendayle - Sunday, 3 August
Well good luck to you, I almost had a natural labour too, but not by choice... lol I would have taken the epidural in a heart beat, but there was no time. I wish it'd had worked out and she'd come out head 1st them I could say I did it all natural. But my doctor said that I can try next time, and she doesnt think there will be any complications at all. She thinks I will have small babies, and it won't effect the scar. I sure hope so, but that's not to say I won't get the epi next time... lol I'm a woos when it comes to pain. Anyway, good luck to you hun, and I sure hope it all works out for you too. Take care..

wilsonwilson - Sunday, 3 August
I sure as heck will and I am not to give up that easily, I assure you. I am looking forward to giving it another shot and work through it with mum. Thank you so much for you kind words and wisdom xo

*3rdtimesacharm* - Sunday, 3 August
Good for you for giving it a shot and hopefully it works out this time! either way, whatever brings a healthy baby to you is great =) keep me posted...How have you been feeling?

thunders79 - Saturday, 2 August
I mean daughter!

thunders79 - Saturday, 2 August
I'm sure your experenice will be a whole lot different this time around! I'm trying not to think of it too much as it makes me a little nervous. I really don't like hospitals.
How old is your son now?

lol brilliant plan when we were expecting kanaan and unsure of his gender ethan informed me that his sister was not allowed to help name the baby as she was seriously considering Chrysanthemum or dragonfly or firefly she was convinced it was a girl and when he wasnt she thought i had done this to her on purpose and was very personally offended.. then i explained how women dont pick the gender men are the ones with both the X and the Y and kaleb did this to her, not me. she informed him this meant war

Hey, there:

Sorry for the delay. I am working more outside of the house, so I don't have a lot of time to devote to sitting at the computer.

Yes, I am just so busy that I can't catch up with everything. I think that's why I am so tired. Any you are right, I haven't been taking my vitamins, due to being always on the go.

Then I have a difficult client from the past, that is beginning to surface with their ugly head, so I am working on the best situation to close their case once and for all.

Still on the Emory University construction contract that is dragging on more and had a series of interviews last week for secular work out side of my design work, because business is moving so slow.

Then on top of all that, contending with life just getting settled in with hubby.

Finally, have some very close friends from Texas coming next week Monday thru Friday and the house is not ready, due to my fatigue....and the hot water is not working until Tuesday, etc....

I am just outdone. Now debating where they should sleep, as my room is the only one with a shower...etc...but I need my room for my husband and I are still on our honeymoon so to speak...but I don't want to seem rude....it will be the couple, plus about 3 or four kids...excited to see them, just wish the timing was a bit better for me.

So, I am just out of it.

Smiles,

Debora :-)

Hi, I have been working my through the mail and replies I have had about the incidents I have been having with this young man. I was all ready to say I can't have him anymore until I read your post. You have given some hope and a light at the end of the tunnel and can't thank you enough for that.

I think I can understand why he is behaving the way he is behaving and I don't think a sit down chat with the parents would be good or will help the situation. This poor man has been pulled from pillar to post. Mum has moved in wither her dad then moved back to the marital home and then got divorced and is now remarrying in Dec and he is torn between 2 places and 2 people and mum does not talk with him or to him to explain what is happening. her ex-husband who she at the moment lives with knows nothing of this other man and she is trying to get her son into college for 3 years (in her words) I have done enough I want a break now! It is hard to talk with people who do not listen but I will give it my best shot and one more episode I think I will have to call it quits. i love my job and I love the young man I care for very much but what more can I do.

Thank you again for hope and uplifting message and I am doing well and baby is just great, thank you x

Hi
Yes I totally agree with you. Like you say, different pregnancy, different hospital etc etc. I am always open to a natural delivery ( I was last time round but had to have an epidural due to severe sciatica). I have the attitute that if i can do it without anything then great, but if i find it too hard am in too much pain then who cares if I have pain relief? - so long as my baby is born safely that is the main thing. I have no shame in using pain relief at all. Like you say, it all depends on how your labour goes. A friend of mine had an epidural with her first and was insistant that she was having it again with her second. When she got to hospital, her labour had progressed so quickly that she didn't have the option and her baby boy was born within half hour! so you just never can tell. good luck with it all. x
