				Mazel tov, Annie! I wish you years of happiness with your new bundle.
			
			
			
				Hi Annie, so happy for you. 
I just had a grand niece back in December, it was a girl. I was likely as excited as you are. 
I spent probably $1500 on her 6 months before she was born even. 
It's so great to have a new baby around, they are so special girl, or boy. 
I hope all goes well, and the mom is well soon after. 
Good luck with having a boy :)
			
			
			
				:roll: GrAnnie
			
			
			
				Thanks guys, ya I hope it all goes well too. They're both healthy so that's a plus. She goes for her prenatal checkup this Friday.  She got on the prenatal vitamins as soon as she knew. She's about 2 months along now but they waited to announce it just in case. When she's further along they'll have the ultrasound and be able to see if it's a boy or girl.
			
			
			
				I went ahead, and bought a lot of unisex stuff to start with. I had to get a crib, and all that stuff so cute animal prints was the theme :)
Are you suggesting a names yet, Annie is cute  ac_dance
			
			
			
				I asked my son and he said if it's a girl something different and not too common, I think he said Arya. If it's a boy they're thinking Alexander. Alexander was what I was going to call my daughter if she was a boy. I like that name.
			
			
			
				Ok, I changed my name to GrAnnie! Thank you RW for the name suggestion!  ac_dance  ac_drinks  acc_hugz
			
			
			
				I like Alexander for a name, it's a great old name, and strong sounding.
			
			
			
				You join an elite club.
Only me and Keibers as far as I know.
The only problem with grandchildren is that you have to have children to get them.
Any other grandies in da house?
			
			
			
				Quote from: "Frost"
It is! I told him he could be called either Alexander, Alex or Xander. He didn't care for the Xander one lol
			 
			
			
				I hope to be grandmother some day too GrAnnie..
Your family has been blessed.

When the time comes what are you going to want to be called. I insisted on Grandpa and made it clear that she only had one Grandpa. LOL   So she decided on Grand dad and PaPa for her other 2 grand fathers. I do envy you, the little ones are so much fun.

I'd like to be called just Grandma. She is having an ultrasound next Thursday! Oooohhh!!! Although at only 2 months or so there won't be a lot of detail but still woohoo! Right now we're online shopping for a floor model air conditioner for them, they're apartment is too hot. She's staying at her parents cooler house while my son is out of town for work.
			 
			
			
				And the air conditioner has been ordered, delivery is next Tuesday. It will be delivered to my house for security and they just come pick it up and that way I can make them stay for dinner or a bbq muahahaha!

A domino game similar to the card game spades. Tricky part is using the 5 and 10 count dominoes when bidding and choosing trumps. A fun game played with 4 people. Just another excuse to get the grand daughter over to the house.
			 
			
			
				Hows your daughter doing Annie? Hope the prognosis is still good.
			
			
			
				Hi, Kiebers, she's still in hospital. Might be 3 or so more days. But she's improving! She's lacked so much sleep, now that's she's feeling better she can finally get some.  Her appetite is slowly coming back. She ate the 6 inch turkey sub I brought her today  ac_smile
			
			
			
				They found out the sex of the bay today....and ...it's.... going to be... a girl!!!! Woohoo! I'm going to have a Grand Daughter!!!  :yahoo:  She felt it was a girl and my daughter and I thought so too. Son was hoping for a boy first but he's super happy they're having a little girl.

				Update.....She still hasn't had the baby. A few weeks ago the doc told her she was actually a couple weeks further along than they thought. She just told me that if she doesn't have her by this weekend, they will induce her next week. Omygawd ohmygawd!!! We all think our son is going to pass out lolol

				Thanks guys, I'm really looking forward to having a new baby in the family. Daughter in law told me they have decided on cloth diapers and have invested 200 bucks for them (rubber covers included) They want to be as chemical free and save as much money as they can.  I did the same with our kids and I let them crawl/run around naked half the time, best thing for baby's skin to prevent diaper rash. And noo not one time did they pee or poop on the floor  :thumbup:  She and I are taking bets as to when he will pass out. She's betting when he's asked to cut the cord and I think it's when she starts hard labor. She's planning all natural, no meds etc.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
I would pass out. But, I am a little wuss anyway.

I can't explain it. I have put guys in the hospital, but I can't stand in a room if someone gets a frickin needle.

				When I had the epidural, of course I couldn't see it going into my spine but hubby did. I heard the nurse behind me say something like "this guy is about to pass out!" He had to be escorted out of the room until it was done.  I guess I should rephrase how many have and have not passed out to how many also were too chicken to be in the room lol

I don't mean to wreck a happy thread Annie, but how is your daughter doing?
			 
			
			
				My daughter is doing fine right now. Today is her birthday, she's 21! We just finished having dinner. I made fettuccine alfredo, mashed potatoes, salad with kale and cucumber. Last night I baked the cake, iced it and wrote Happy Birthday 21 and her name in multi colors. I put 4 sparklers and a candle in the middle. It wasn't a prank candle but some some reason it wouldn't blow out lol. Now she's in the tub with her bubbles.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
That's fucking fantastic Annie. Happy birthday to her. Is she planning on getting :JC_burp: ?
			 
			
			
				Thanks! No she doesn't drink, she did have a glass of Orange Crush though, mmmmm
			
			
			
				Happy Birthday to GrAnnie's daughter.

				I used to have shorter hair, a bob cut for many years but then I decided to grow it out and now that I'm doing Cosplay Merida, I need it to be long.  I cut my hair when my kids were babies because that's the first thing they grab onto when you hold them lol
			
			
			
				In Vancouver, they have Cosplay events, a couple times a year. My brother and nephew go to a ton of them and all over the place. They travel to the states for events. I don't have the energy to do that much so I'm just gonna stick with parades and cosplay events in Vancouver.

				Not yet! She's in the hospital while being induced. This baby is really stubborn! But she's healthy.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
That's all that matters GrAnnie.
			 
			
			
				Still not yet! They tried inducing her yesterday but that didn't work.  She's at 1 cm and about 43 weeks now. The baby is head down and there's no sign of distress. Her heart beat is good, brain activity is good. She's home now but going back to hospital on Monday or Tuesday to try inducing again. Poor girl, she's a bit stressed.  I'm worried for her  ac_crying  If inducing again doesn't work then they'll do a caesarean section.
			
			
			
				Family trait.
Always running late and keeping people waiting.
			
			
			
				Haha, ya that's what I told her! She's taking her time to get here, probably doing her hair.....lol
			
			
			
				Everything will be OK Annie. Don't worry.
			
			
			
				She's having a really hard time. Not dilating. She had the epidural, son missed that. She's having a C section right now, son said he was very queezy when they told him that's the plan.  I told him to stay hydrated, he said he wished he could have a beer lolol
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
He won't need a beer.
			 
			
			
				I'm thinking once she's home, there won't be a lot of time for a beer lol.

				She's here!!! 10 pounds 4 ounces!!! I knew she was going to be a big baby but I thought around 8 pound or 9. He held her right away.

That's a big baby :)

				I just had a thought, can a mod please delete the baby pictures for me? I don't want just anyone other than you guys to see my grand daughter and then maybe use them for something else on the internet. Sorry, I should have pm'd it.

				Reminds me of that song by Live, Lightning Crashes. The part that says the confusion belongs now to the baby down the hall.
			
			
			
				Have you been to see the baby yet Grannie?
			
			
			
				Nope! Not yet! Looks like Tuesday evening. Son is working 2 full time jobs for a while, same as her Dad. She and her Mom are exhausted.  I can't wait, I'm bitin at the bit here!

				Aww Herman, I think every person develops into the person they were meant to be in their own time.  With encouragement and patience it usually works out.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
But he does not want to work. He wants to go through life couch surfing and travelling. When he's broke he runs to my ex wife or my place. He is 25 soon ffs.
Hey, that's a good avatar. :smiley_thumbs_up_yellow_ani:
			 
			
			
				Well then maybe he just wants to be a professional couch surfer! He can write a book! An autobiography: My life As A Couch Surfer! lol I'm kidding. That has to be tough. When our son was 15 he dropped out of high school, spent his days sleeping and playing video games in his room. We said everything and encouraged him but the only thing that actually worked was that I stopped buying the food he liked (like bacon) I stopped doing his laundry (I even didn't have a clean towel for him to use) each day I took away something he liked like not allowing friends over. It took about 12 days I think when he got off his ass and went out and got a job. He started working at KFC. I told him unless he wants to be forever frying chicken he better get his grade 12 and he did. Now he's 23, working 2 jobs, going to Community College and raising a baby with a wonderful girl.  We did a bunch of other stuff to him and made his life kind of a living hell but we told him we were doing it because we loved him :)
Haha, thanks, I'm a baaad goat  :laugh:
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
Haha, thanks, I'm a baaad goat  :laugh:
No, you did the right thing Grannie. The situation with my son is different. The wife and I both grew up on farms in Saskatchewan and we had to work physically hard from a young age. We wanted our boy to have an easier life than we had.
I worked all over the world on drilling rigs as a driller, toolpush and finally wellsite consultant. I would be in Africa, the middle East, South East Asia or South America and only coming home every second month to my wife and son. Well we got divorced when he was seven. I put money my monthly maintenance payments in her account from where ever I happened to be in the world. 
We made sure he went to university and he graduated with a BA, but it is not an occupation related degree. We never made him get part time jobs and some where he decided work was beneath him. He had a job with the federal government, but he kept taking leaves to travel, party, anything but work. He would run out of money, move in with me or my ex, get a job, pay no bills, use our vehicles and then repeat the finding himself thing again. 
I talked with my ex and we have decided he has two months from the time he gets to either of our places to get his own place. He has travelled, had his fun, but it is time to spread his wings and learn to fly without a parental parachute.
I forgot to mention, he has an attitude too. He says, I only care about money. Do you believe that? He lives off of me for free when he is here and surfs the net for couches to sleep on when he travels. Ah frick, what do I do with my boy.
Do you see why I don't want to be a grandpop anytime soon Grannie?
			 
			
			
				Ahh I see where you're coming from, Herman. Ya, it's time he learns to be independant and take responsibility for himself.  We too put money away (in an RESP) for the kids and he's using some of it again for more courses. Not enough for University but enough to get him into something where he can advance and then take more courses and climb the ladder from there.  There comes a time for all kids when party time is basically over, although if they work hard, there's always a Saturday once in awhile to unwind.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
You did the right thing getting on his case at a young age. The ex and I waited too long. My son feels entitled. I just hope it's not too late. I really want to see him be an independent man. When that happens I want to be a grandpop.
			 
			
			
				25 is still relatively young, but once he's say 30, then I'd start to really worry. If you're supporting him financially in any way, I'd start by gradually decreasing those benefits and explain to him that he's not a child anymore and that adults need to take care of themselves. Not too tough love but get on it maybe, that's all I can think of.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
It is young, but he should be working towards something. I was married, had him and paying a mortgage at his age. 
He will be coming home broke with his Australian girlfriend. My ex and have talked and he can live with either of us for two months for free, but then he will pay room and board or he will be out. He won't be allowed to use our vehicles either after two months. That is a reasonable time frame. It's time for him to be a man.
			 
			
			
				That's good you have a plan. Stick with it and I'm sure it will work out. How long has it been since he's been home?  Could be that he's a little home sick and misses your guidance and parenting?
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
He has never had a place of his own. He's never had a vehicle of his own. He lived with my ex when he went to university in Regina. After that he would divide his time between my place and his mother's, live expense free, work briefly and then travel. The free ride is over. And I don't care that he's bringing home his Aussie old lady either.
			 
			
			
				Well... that didn't last long! They were going to do the cloth diaper thing, but they are now doing disposable.  They might try doing the cloth again when they aren't so tired lol.  Who was it that said that won't last long?  ac_umm  You were right!  :laugh3:

				Quote from: "GrAnnie"

				They're trying to get her sleeping pattern down. She'll sleep for a few hours then awake, then sleep for 4 or 5 hours and then up all night. I wanted to give them advice but I think it's much more fun to sit back and see what they do on their own.....muahahah! Payback to my son for making ME stay up all night when he used to sneak out at 15.

Is your grand daughter staying at your house GrAnnie?
			 
			
			
				Nope I just can't sleep at times. Depending on the weather or what my activity is during the day, my hip and back ache. And my ears are bothering me. I have to get them checked again. The meds aren't working too great. At first it was water behind one ear drum but now the other is hurting too. I think it relates to my seasonal allergies. When I was a kid my allergies were bad and I always had ear infections  :sad:
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
Oh, I am sorry to that your ears are still bothering you..
I hope the doctor can cure it.
			 
			
			
				I hope so too, my doc said if nothing works then I'll have to have tubes put in. He said it's kind of painful. I live with chronic pain so I don't care if it hurts as long as they get better.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
Oh my, how long will the tubes stay in GrAnnie?
			 
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
Fuck Annie, you get feeling better and a step back.
			 
			
			
				I don't know, if I'm sent to an ENT I'll find out then.  Hopefully it won't be too long if I do get them in.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
Does it affect your hearing GrAnnie?
			 
			
			
				Yep, Fash, it's starting too but the annoying pain is worse.
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
Oh my GrAnnie, I hope you can see an ENT specialist soon and they can fix your ears.
			 
			
			
				Thanks Fash, me too!
			
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
I sympathize, right after Christmas I started having trouble hearing out of my right ear. I finally broke down and went to the doctors a few weeks ago and they sent me to an E&T. I had to have my right ear drained. The doctor discovered a hemotympanum (blood behind the ear drum). The doctor put a small incision in the drum and sucked some of it out. It wasn't pleasant but not especially painful. 
I've been on antibiotics and ears drops and so far if feels 100% better. What troubles me is that a hempotympanum is more often than not caused by a skull fracture or some other sort of head trauma. To my knowledge I have had no head trauma; at least none that I can remember. :laugh3: 
 So it can only be chalked up to an old infection or..... aliens. ac_umm
			 
			
			
				Quote from: "GrAnnie"
That's too bad Annie. I hope you are 100% again soon. I know you need your strength and hearing for your grand daughter.
			 
			
			
				I've got Polysporin ear drops and that seems to be helping until I can get an appointment.

I get the wax build up in my ears Grannie. I had it even as a kid, but I think thirty years of stuffing ear plugs for work have made it worse.
			 
			
			
				I don't wear ear plugs, but my dr did ask me months ago if I shoved q tips in to clean, which I do not. I do clean them but I don't cram anything in there. They feel hot and plugged. Sounds are a bit muffled as if people are mumbling a bit. My daughter has become used to talking loudly to me now lol.

Anyone that works in very noisy environments has to wear earplugs..
My husband has to wear them if he goes out to a rig location.
