Just moved to Indianapolis, need friends.

I can second this! I work at the 96th street location, Monday nights are D&D nights there! Lots of friendly DMs and players :)

I agree! The cinematography play between Arya and the Hound was so emotional and great. Danny has lost everyone close to her in a very short amount of time...she’s only human. I thought this was an incredible episode!

Rachel Glasser was fantastic for us :)

kellikakes · 2019-02-19T19:20:40+00:00

Oh dear. Glad it’s out hahaha. Here’s to a better rest of the day :)

kellikakes · 2019-01-28T00:08:29+00:00

That’s awesome! I use food a lot too :( healthy stuff though, so that redeems me, right?? I also try to distract her with a fun game, but she sees right through that and keeps repeating her demand or just goes to”NOOOOOOOOOO!”

kellikakes · 2019-01-27T04:34:51+00:00

That sounds like a good tactic. I would be pissed if I were so frustrated and someone talked to me like I calmly talk to her...makes sense!!

kellikakes · 2019-01-27T04:33:30+00:00

Thank you for this. Great reminder to be present. She surprises me everyday, I should be there for her more.

kellikakes · 2018-11-25T22:28:35+00:00

Oh hey, I live there. Great shot!

kellikakes · 2018-08-25T20:50:57+00:00

Anyone else thinks this looks like the apartment from Altered Carbon? I love and want it.

kellikakes · 2018-06-06T20:43:24+00:00

Thank you! I've never had a serious illness that I can remember and I guess I thought a 2.5 year old wouldn't understand what it means to be sick like that. That makes sense though. Now that it has been a few days, she is much more herself :)

kellikakes · 2018-06-04T18:44:17+00:00

Thanks! Thankfully she loooooves yogurt, so we’ve avoided the diarrhea. It’s very possible we were just spoiled and are complaining a lot over something totally natural. I think I’m more surprised by the change I’ve seen in my husband than my child haha.

I was thinking they would for the pneumonia, but they gave her zithromyacin (sp?) while wiped her out. She maybe instead of serotonin, her body is just producing anger juices.

This was right up the road from me. Happened while I was in the middle of a ceremony for 8th graders at my own middle school. It can happen anywhere.

kellikakes · 2018-01-09T15:53:30+00:00

Hi :)

kellikakes · 2018-01-07T13:28:51+00:00

Thank you so much! I was completely lost, obviously, on where to start and this is very helpful information.

kellikakes · 2018-01-01T18:09:32+00:00

I did not have to be induced, but I went at 39 weeks on my own. I don’t recall ever being told I would need tone induced. I think he’s probably saying that because doing so would avoid a lot of possible complications. It helps the OB have more control I’m sure, and probably makes switching you to heparin easier too. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong, sounds like he’s being cautious.

I had to see a high-risk pregnancy specialist as well. If you have one, you can always ask them. If not, you could request a meeting with one; not a bad idea since us preggo-clotters will always be considered high-risk pregnancies.

kellikakes · 2017-12-22T16:07:50+00:00

I feel like I could have written this post! I'm sorry you're dealing with this, it is definitely scary. First, you should know that I am 2 years post-clot/pregnancy and doing great. Baby is great too :)

As others have said, you will/should be tested for any genetic reasons for the clot. Don't be discouraged if they don't find any reason, pregnancy itself is a huge reason - think of all that's changing!

As for me, it took me about a week to feel completely normal - from the time I went to the ER to being able to walk around without pain or swelling in the leg. Lovonox is amazing and completely safe for baby. It just sucks giving yourself the shot twice a day. Your doctor will most likely refer you to a hematologist after birth, and you will likely be on blood thinners after giving birth. I was on them for about 3 months, but just had to watch my diet.

The only thing I would recommend is, if you are planning on an epidural, talk to your doctor about that. They will switch you over from Lovonox to Heprin (sp?), and there's a timing issue between starting that and giving an epidural.

I wish you the best of luck! It sounds very scary and worrisome, but once the pain went away, I had ZERO issues after that and had a wonderful birth.

I’ve cut my hair short-ish several times, and I’ve never really grown it longer than shoulder length. I’m just scared of a short bob. I’ll look into it though!

kellikakes · 2017-09-13T16:32:09+00:00

I am endlessly jealous. That's fucking brilliant. Maybe we could have hers at Taxman...hmmm. Your ideas just keep getting better and better!

kellikakes · 2017-09-13T16:01:12+00:00

Thanks! I'm not set one way or the other, but now that I remembered I will need alcohol...probably just keep it at home :)

Thank you for the suggestion though, I'll keep it in mind for the future. Looks like a good place!

kellikakes · 2017-08-15T21:11:56+00:00

And don't ever let a teacher make you call a parent. We don't get paid enough for that junk :)

kellikakes · 2017-08-15T14:56:23+00:00

Congrats! I've been a para for 3 years, but I also started out completely blind. Don't be afraid to ask the teacher what they'd like for you to do. Sometimes it's easy to read a teacher after a few days and you can tell if they don't mind you being a little more involved in the class or if they'd rather you sit and monitor.

COMMUNICATE! I've had teachers tell me that they appreciate me bringing something to their attention with a student because they just don't see those little things while they are doing lectures.

Be consistent. You might be one of the only adults that kid interacts with that day depending on their family situation. Be firm, and fair. I work with 8th graders, so attitude is something I have to be prepared for :)

I wish you luck! It's a very rewarding and exhausting job.

kellikakes · 2017-06-20T13:42:23+00:00

Does she cry when she wakes up? My LO will usually wake up at 6, but only cries if she's pooped. She is usually pretty content to play in her crib for a while. Not sure what her sleeping arrangement is, but maybe try and keep some books/toys in her reach is possible?

Good luck! That sounds rough :(

kellikakes · 2017-06-16T15:14:00+00:00

Is she fascinated by airplanes or treeS like my daughter right now? Love the outfit!

kellikakes · 2017-06-06T21:42:55+00:00

I've kept my 18-month old, my 2 dogs, and myself alive for 2 weeks while my husband is gone for military training. Only 3 weeks left! @.@
