My mother's oldest sister passed away this week in Abitibi (a 9 hour ride from here) and the funerals are today so we didn't make it but my parents went with my brother (6 hour ride for them). She lived in a home the last few years and suffered from Alzheimers, she had 9 children.
My daughter in law has Pupps pregnancy rash and it seems to be really uncomfortable. She went back to hospital on Saturday (I took care of the dog) and she is open 3cm and they did a stripping of the membrane. Since she is so miserable with the rash they will schedule by the end of next week to provoke the delivery (she will be 39 weeks in). So we should have our baby by next weekend! :) She just called and will come spend the day here - things are starting to move along.
My son and daughter in law came for supper after they got back from the hospital on Saturday night.

Quote of the week
I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt. My mother has Alzheimer's and it's a horrible disease. Good luck to your daughter in law on the birth of her baby.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn
DeleteI am sorry to hear of the loss of your aunt. We are currently going through the whole Alzheimer's thing with Pat and have had to admit her to a long-term care facility. It's been a hard week and I feel your loss. Blessings for a good week ahead.
ReplyDeleteSomeone very close is starting to show symptoms, just Don't want to talk about it yet - it is not easy.
DeleteThanks for stopping by
I am so sorry for the loss of your aunt. Sorry you weren't able to attend the funerals, that's hard when the distance makes it too much. How exciting though that your grand-baby is soon to make an entrance. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteDistance is often a problem here… I live 3 hours away from my close family and 9 hours away from our extended family.
DeleteHave a good week
Brrr those temps! Sincere condolences for the loss of your aunt. It is hard during holidays. Those cozy socks and Afghan sound like first the ticket for cold winter days and nights. Best of wishes with the arrival of the wee one. Hope that rash dissipates very soon! Will this be your first “grand”?
ReplyDeleteYes it'll be our first grand! Can't wait… they should induce her by the end of the Week
DeleteI never heard of that rash, so I looked it up. It sounds miserable. Glad the baby is coming soon!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the loss of your aunt.
The wool socks sound so nice and warm!
Oh that rash is making her miserable, but should clear as soon as she delivers.
DeleteHave a good week
I'm so sorry about your aunt's passing and hope your DIL has some relief soon with the delivery of the baby - prayers for everyone that it goes quickly and smoothly. I hope you have a GREAT week.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Have a great Week too
DeleteSorry to hear of your sisters passing. The baby afghan sounds like its going to be cute!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIn fact it's my mother's sister - thanks you.
DeleteI will try to finish the afghan this Week and will post a picture.
Have a great Week too
