[QUOTE="Terryforvols, post: 145350, member: 2127"] I have just now had a chance to come on line. Have been very busy with Izzy, who was born at 9:24 pm 3/26/08, 6 lbs 5 oz., 19 1/2 inches She had to spend a few days in NICU due to small holes in her lungs that spontaneously healed. She came home 3/31/08 and has really thrived!! At her two week check this week, she weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 20 3/4 inches! She doesn't miss a meal!! Her mom (difficult child) is a great mother, and we watched Oprah yeserday about the author and his son and the addiction to crystal meth. We both cried because she now knows the pain we felt watching her slowly kill herself. She can't imagine watching her baby go through what she did. difficult child has had to take some pain pills due to a very painful birth and episiotomy (difficult child is very petite and tiny and will never deliver a baby any bigger than this one without a C-section). I keep the pills and dole them out and she has done well. I probably will always worry about that, but as long as she has no control of the pills, she is able to control herself. Her MD will also not give her anymore, so everyone is aware. I can tell you, at age 50, I am VERY out of shape for 5:00 a.m. feedings, which I do during the week. I love it, but oh my gosh, God really knows what he is doing by giving you babies at a young age. I have one more full weekend and another work week before going back to TN. It is going to break my heart to leave this precious one. difficult children husband is very lacking in support (another thread and another LONG story), and I hate leaving difficult child. She is coming to TN in late April/early May to meet our side of the family, and will look totally different, then difficult child restarts school the end of May. IF the marriage survives and she doesn't come back to TN, we will probably move to TX in a year or so. husband is SOOOO in love with Izzy, more than he thought. He was only able to stay a week and calls us several times a day for updates and pics. I could have spent hours watching him hold her and feed her, it was so awesome. Better go, someone is crying. It may be another while before I log on, but for her "board aunties", thank you for caring and much love from TX!! [/QUOTE]
