I know what I'm having...
DH still doesn't want to tell anyone else though (it was just us, his dad and mom in the room) because he was really resistant to finding out and wants it to be "their secret".
But I'm going to burst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does it count if I tell you guys since Jaay is the only one who lives around here?
Health update for anyone interested:
Last night we started to see the first big changes and the nurse started administering morphine. Until last night he wasn't in pain, but now his legs and back hurt, his arms keep falling asleep, etc. so he is very restless. Nurse said it is a normal phase but that it's indicative that things are changing faster now. His breathing is very labored, there is a lot of fluid in his body (nothing draining his lungs, etc) so we had to take off his wedding ring, etc. Anyway, DH seems to think that if he makes it through today then tonight will likely be the last night, but I don't know.
Re: I know what I'm having...
I bet you feel like you're going ot burst!
Lots of continued Ts&Ps heading your way.

I promise I won't say anything if you tell us!!
Still thinking about you guys
Are you both working this week?
At least that's what my DH thinks of you fake, internet friends.
I'm sure you are about to burst, but I understand if you decide not to share with us.
Continued T&P for you all.
I just wanted to say that I think you are an amazing woman! Lots of prayers for continued peace with the family.
I agree, we totally don't count. And, you don't have to actually SAY the sex. I'll guess boy, and you can just say whether I'm right, or if pp is. See where I'm going with that? Easy peasy.
Continued T&Ps heading your way. What a difficult time, but I hope that the moments you had with your DH, FIL and MIL last night are ones that you will always hold special in your heart.
Blog
or do WCIB and post boy or girl

I am going back and forth to work. He worked on Monday and a half day Tuesday (at his father's request actually) but isn't working now that thinks seem worse.
Continued T&P for you, your DH, MIL, SIL, etc. Cassidy. Was FIL glad to know?
And you dont' have to tell us, I understand if you don't, but FWIW I don't "count" you ladies as telling secrets because we live apart and nobody blabs stuff on FB.
I'm guessing boy. Just wink twice if I'm right.
I like this.
Then there is no trace that is was YOU who ever told US
First, continued t&p. I hope you are glad and excited to know, despite the circumstances.
That's crazy because I've thought it's a girl this whole time! Cass, we definitely DO NOT count!! Just like how we spill baby names to one another even though we don't tell anyone IRL. It's sort of the same, right?
I will agree that this is normal. If he continues to have labored breathing but doesn't have pain, I would still be giving him the pain medication to help his breathing. My guess it is Roxanol or sublingual morphine, and this can do awesome things for breathing/anxiety too. If you have any questions about the actively dying process (physically), please feel free to call, text, FB, or page me here. I have been thinking about you a lot lately!
Continuing to send lots of T&Ps to you and your family Casperdy. You guys did a really special thing for your FIL. I'd say we don't count either, but totally respect if you want to keep it in the family!
