The day before yesterday I packed up the car with the kids, my body pillow for her belly a couple of good paperbacks and her one true desire that day, my cookies.
I was on the way to her house when I got a call from her best friend telling me that she had been admitted to L&D, a possible ruptured bag, worried that she'd broken her waters. Tests came back that she had not. Baby was fine. No infection. Fine. (Last year she delivered a little boy at 24 weeks who was so sick with the strep B virus that he had no chance.
It turns out that this time there was no trace of the strep B, but she was already dilated to 4 cm. They tried to do a cerclage, where they sitch the cervix to prevent further dilation. Something happened and the membrane ruptured and they had to induce labor. 24 hours later she delivered a little girl, stilborn. I am devasted for her. To have to bury one child is one thing, but two I can not even imagine.
I brought the cookies out of the car... took them out of their container... and had three of them. THREE!!!!
Oh well, there is always tomorrow and I had better make sure that they are hidden from me by day's end.
Not that that is ANY excuse. They were there. I am in such a fog and over tired from taking care of two sick kids and being up all night and cleaning up barf, etc...
Thanks for listening!

ONLY THREE? I would have been good for the whole jar!
Keep your chin up and get back on track. I think that was probably a minor set back!!!!
Good luck!
OH NO!
Wow, Jessica, what a story.
Thanks,
Jessica

By the way, they are huge cookies, 3 is a lot!!!
Now I can kick myself 'cause I can't get that sweet taste out of my mouth!
I'll go have a cup of coffee and I think a Greek salad is in order for tonight!

OK, going to get my coffee now and hope that gets this sweet craving out of my mouth!

I've got tears in my eyes for your friend (TOM contributing to my weepiness, no doubt). I hope your little ones get better soon - they do bounce back quickly, don't they? - and I hope you feel better, too.
Hugggsss,
Donna
