October Chit Chat!

[DoulaMama]

Hi Girls, I'm so gutted right now My puppy has come down with Parvovirus and is on an iv in the vets office for 3 days most likely. So that means we had to cancel our trip this weekend, hence no ultrasound It's been such a crappy week. My grandma passed away 2 days ago(she was my last living grandparent)and even though we weren't that close, it was shocking and unexpected.
I cried so much yesterday that my eyes are almost swollen shut. When it rains it pours.

[ELP]

Oh DM, thats truly awful Losing your last grandparent is so sad. Not to be a downer but is the parvo the same that humans can carry?

[Mochagirl]

I'm sooo sorry about your puppy, DM. I know how hard it is to have your pet at the vet. I'm also sorry about your Grandma - sad news often travels in pairs. Hopefully you'll be able to re-schedule your u/s for sometime soon.

[DoulaMama]

ELP - thank you And no, it's a different Parvo....thank goodness.

Mocha- thank you

I'm thinking I'll just wait for a 17w u/s now. Makes me sad but we don't have an u/s place that's close to us and I'll have to travel to one

Oh DM, I'm sorry {hugs} x

Just popping on for a minute to say SOOOO Sorry I've been MIA...Been on vay-cay visiting family this month and Internet access is limited. Got TONS to tell you all but I'll probably wait until my OB visit when I get back in 2 wks. Hopefully it's good news...I'm trying to stay positive. I'll try to log on again next week. Hope you're all doing well!!!

I haven't gotten a chance to read any posts for about 2 wks but I did see yours, DM...I am so very sorry!!!

DM - I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma, hun. I hope your puppy gets better asap!

[tweedledeedum]

Dm - So sorry about your grandma, hope you are doing ok. And hoping your puppy is better too. :-(

[DoulaMama]

Thank you so much girls You're all so sweet. xoxo Today has been a better day. I'm just hoping and praying that when the vet calls to tell me how she's doing, it'll be good news.

I just can't believe the cleaning we have to do now We have to disinfect our entire house and our entire backyard with bleach water. It's going to take us weeks to make sure this virus is gone. Apparently it can live in the soil for 7 years, on soft surfaces for 1 month and hard surfaces for 6 months. Ugh. What a complete mess this is.

[zanacal]

Really? That sounds awful DM! More {hugs}

OotB - Your post is intriguing! I hope everything is ok x

I heard some very sad news yesterday. A lady I used to work with had a little girl - well she's all grown up now and we're friends on FB. She's in her early twenties and had a baby by emergency c-section a couple of weeks ago and while they were in there they found an unusual growth and she's now been told she has cervical cancer. Can you imagine? Just awful.

I'm actually feeling fine (and happy!) about a boy or a girl baby now and I don't feel as though I would ever want to try again for a girl if this is a boy. I already know we did what we could for a girl and if we have a boy then it's meant to be and I'm meant to be a boy mum and I'll move forward and make sure I do it well!
