Aviary Life

[Laurasea]

Oh my goodness! Be safe and well cared for, and let everyone take care of you. Wishing you wellness, a stress free 31 weeks , and a safe happy joyful delivery!

Good grief Dani, hope you are able to keep her full-term.

Prayers headed your way for the safety and health of everyone.:smile015:

Today marks a week in the hospital.

Thank God for a friend who picked up my hand feeding babies.


But Kit died. I don’t know why; body was sent in for necropsy but no results yet. Flick, upset by this, slaughtered her babies.

Oh my goodness, I'm sorry you are still in the hospital, but glad you are cared for.
Sad news about Kit, though I don't know who he is...I'm sure the mate killing the young is programed into them, as surviving with out mate support would be difficult. Nature is efficient.....
I know you can't help worrying about your avairy. But now is the time to focus on you and your baby. Let those wonderful people in your life pick up the burden and trust them .
Much love a d well wishes to you!

Oh Dani I’m so sorry about all of this. Are they going to keep you there until little girl is born, or do you know yet? I wish I could do more than send you all my best thoughts and prayers.

Again, I find myself wishing I were your neighbor! Usually I wish we were neighbors because I want to admire and enjoy all your stuff, but this time I would actually try to make myself useful.
Dani, hang in there. You know we're all with you!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo

 

[Scott]

So sorry to hear of the passing of Kilt and loss of the babies. Wishing you a quick release from the hospital unless absolute bed rest in controlled environment is best for you and baby.

Dani, you and your little one are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry that you have to be in the hospital right now, and my condolences for Kit and the babies. Please know that your extended family here at PF is behind you, ready to celebrate with you once you deliver that beautiful, healthy baby.

I'm so sorry to hear this, all of it. As you're focusing on your baby girl staying put, there is chaos at home. Just Awful!
I wasn't aware you were having seizures, it is a new onset? Oh my goodness, so much on your plate right now.

 

[SilverSage]

I’m home, at least for now. I was in for 8 days, now I’m able to be home on “princess duty” as in I’m allowed out of bed but not much else.


Sorry for the confusion, I have not had seizures YET, but I have preeclampsia again. It came on extremely quickly; thank God we were keeping such a close eye after my last pregnancy!

My sister Ellene is here, the one that lived with us in Hawaii. Not only is she doing all my work (seriously all of it) but she’s a bird person through and through and is spoiling my flock AND my child and fur babies.

In fact, given Flick’s recent tragedy, I’m even more glad Ellene is here. Flick seems to be taking great comfort in having her bestie here.

Here is my sister chilling with Tsali and Alpha and Omega, our foster tiels.

[Inger]

I’m glad you’re home. Follow all of your doctor’s orders, please. And yay for sisters!

I haven’t put this on my “regular” social media yet, so those of you on my Facebook please don’t say yet, buuuuut...

Introducing Claralena Valor C. Born yesterday at 33 weeks via emergency c-section.

She has BLACK hair like my side of the family! And so far the blue eyes lol.

I’m not allowed to hold her yet and I’m crying a lot over that but tears dry.

Congratulations! Pretty girl was in a hurry to get here. Pray you are both safe, and well cared for.

 

[TiredOldMan]

Congratulations on another beautiful addition to your flock.

I hope all is well and stays that way!

 

[Scott]

Welcome to the world, Claralena Valor!

She looks healthy and content, time for her mommy to unwind and take a well earned rest and victory lap! You have been through so much, Dani!

 

[SilverSage]

I wish it were time for that!

So c-sections are a fresh Hell. Fun fact; you can feel the whole thing. They say “you will feel pressure” but they MEAN you will feel everything they do, it just won’t hurt while they do it. It does after though.


Clara still can’t eat on her own, or even with a feeding tube until her blood sugar issues straighten out. She also cannot breath well on her own and requires a cpap machine for breathing.

Because of the sugar issues she basically has a giant IV in her navel which is what’s preventing safe snuggles. I was allowed to hold her once today and my husband hopes to be allowed to hold her once tomorrow. Being a mother unable to hold her baby is horrible and I just don’t have the energy to pretend otherwise. I also can’t hold my other child because he is a 2 year old boy who flails and I have a giant incision.

My sister has been a Godsend as you know but has to leave earlier than intended.

I’m a mess of happy, sad, scared, relieved, excited, terrified, exhausted, bitter, loving; and everything hurts. But my daughter is here and safe, even though she has a long road ahead.
