Comment from Ulla
Wow, Beth, this is quite a dramatic continuation to your narrative. You had a bit of a hard time with Connie and I think the hospital treated you very badly. How could they even call themselves doctors and nurses. And putting you on drugs so you couldn't breastfeed. What's that about? But now, after another scare things seem to be looking up.
I was more easily offended than i would have been if hadn't been suffering hormonal depression. = I was more . . . than I would have . . .

Thank you for the review. I always like your comments. :Yes, I think some of the things done in the hospital was unacceptable.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
This chapter covered a lot of ground. Your family was growing up as you and your husband were doing very well on the job. `I was one of those babies who was resented because my sisters were eleven and six years older than me.
My older sister was my idol. I loved her very much, and she loved me, but the one that was six years old never did forgive me for being born and carries that resentment to this day. Well done, Beth. Nancy:)

Thank you so much for the review. I'm afraid that Christi, at ten, never forgave Connie either and she still holds it against me because I gave birth to her. I know she loves us, but the resentment is still there.

Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
I am glad that the babysitter-adventure with Carol ended well for Connie. A hanging-down head for quite a while is not very good for a baby! And you had a job so soon after the baby was born! Good you found a satisfying solution for Connie right away.
Some comments:
1. We didn't know you had (no) epidural
2. I t(r)ied to give Christi...
2. (C)onnie was just a little over a month...

Thank you for the review and the comments and edits. The first one about "had no epidural" was deliberate because that was the way she talked.

Haha, stupid girl. Ok, I didn't know that of course. Welcome to the review!
Comment from Veenbee
Great continuous story. Been following it now for a few chapters.
Correction: get my feet off the bed and attempted to to as she asked.- you have to to
My mom took a bus to Metairie and stayed and to help out
Wow, the hospital treatment was pitiful.- and stayed to help.
The fact that they gave you something to dry up your milk, how horrible. It's like they had no care. And the tales of a baby.. Just recently my older brother said he felt bad for the way they treated my sister when they were younger. My two older brothers didn't want a girl and they made it very clear to her. Great job.

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This is a scribbling to fulfill your mission to help your present members know your state of early family living; taletelling is authentic from living with your deceased husband; plot is fast and forward, though neither the beginning nor the ending is catchy, still I like and have enjoyed the read; well said, well done; thanks for sharing this.
