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.

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.

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!

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.
