Today, 9.30 am to be precise, we will find out.
OMG so excited. It's been an interesting journey so far... not sure she was pregnant at all to NOW... where we can see puppies moving inside her.
I'm hoping the Vet can email me a copy of her X-ray so I can put it on here.
We will be able to see the puppies ourselves then.
Stew is working in Greenlane (here in Auckland) today, so Keera and I will be joining him for lunch at the re-vamped McDonalds across the road from his office.
So, I will come back on here after we have been to the Vet's and let you all know how many puppies we are having! Are you as excited to know as me???
ONWARD...
I would like to address some issues raised in yesterday's comments.
1. Yes, Lacy has gotten herself into a bad situation, and not for the first time. But she is TRYING to work it out so her and Keera get a new home and can be together again.
2. When Lacy does get Keera back, we will be making sure she has a firm support system in place so she can cope with being a full time MUM again.
I hope that has resolved some people's issues.
Not that it's anyone's business but ours really!
COUNTDOWN to puppy number....
But the heads don't lie, there's 6 in there. Sheesh.
ANON and anyone else who thinks its their business...WINZ HAS been informed ALREADY and I have an appointment with them very soon.... and Lacy is doing the same... SO PULL YOUR F@#ing HEAD IN.
I have had a lovely morning! After the x-ray Keera and I went and picked up Dante and we all had lunch with Granddad at the 'new' McDonalds.
We didn't order a 'create your own' burger ... it was SOOOO busy there! We just got regular McD's and the two littlies had a whale of a time in the playground.
Then we took Dante home and now... Keera is having a sleep and I've got me legs up. It's so hot and humid again today. It's trying to rain, so hopefully it does and cools things down a bit.
It hasn't rained. So it's stinkin hot.
My tummy has been churning for two days now, many, many trips to the loo later and I'm so over it! Stress me thinks. Nah, I knows it's that.
All the negative comments on here do not help.
We know it's a crap situation but as I've said a million times... we will always put our kids/grandkids first. If that means ENABLING Lacy to leave Keera here, then for the sake of Keera, that is what we will do.
We hope that eventually Lacy does pull herself together and get settled again.
End of Day: off to bed, got a fairly busy day tomorrow.
nite nite
I can't believe You had to explain that to everyone... like it's anybody's business what is happening as long as Keera is safe while L is sorting out housing ....
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Kelly, no one else's business! NZ tax payers or not, it is between Lacy, WINZ and your Mum and Dad. Penny xo
DeleteIncredible that people pass judgement so easily. Must be awesome living a perfect life anonymously.
DeleteOh every time I see your name It makes me smile Bee :)
DeleteWish I had something nice to write but yea just feeling a little down and empty atm.....poos, we could spam mums message box with jokes and random stuff lol.
Love Keera's Mummy xx
Oh Bee, thats funny but it does seem that so many people are living the dream these days and have an opinion on everything. Chris is always there for her kids and does whatever she can to help why do people always insist on sharing there sometimes not very nice opinions.
DeleteChris I for one commend you for all you do for your kids and more so your grandchildren, Keera is very lucky to have a grandmother who finds it important to ensure her daughter and granddaughter are in the right place and is prepared to do whatever she can to help make it happen. And then of course Brylee and Griffin .. Chris you and Stew are legends, keep it up.
Hi Chris,just a heads up,Keera must be in Lacy's care for Lacy to receive the benefit otherwise it is classed as fraud.-Kate
ReplyDeleteOmg Chris. I just wanted to say this isn't me but another Kate
Deletea. Lacy is going off the DPB as soon as she can get an appointment with WINZ... so we have it covered. I have also been in touch with WINZ... got it DOUBLY covered.
Deleteb. Kittie44 I knew it wasn't you chick, relax *smiles*
Hi
ReplyDeleteIf a grandchild stays with his or her parents for a holiday it isn't a big deal I am sure that is a legal senario and it is probably very hard being a full time single parent, everyone in the world needs support and a break at some point. Even parents who are together get a break from their children if needed.
Cheers
Peta
Isn't Lacy engaged?But collecting a benefit? The law clearly states the rules around this even if they are not living together. Lacy and the choices she has made may find herself in a whole heap of trouble.
ReplyDeleteHow can the law penalise someone for being engaged if they are living separately? I've never heard of this before.
DeleteHi Lynda how are you, I am not engaged lol that would just be silly pulling someone else onto this crazy roller coaster ride
DeleteFrom Keera's Mummy :)
Well said - I hope you get sorted soon. I am well by the way, thanks for asking :)
DeleteHowever well meaning some people are just too nosy and too busy NOT minding their own business.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you have things worked out legally. After all this is not an entirely new scenario to you. I'm sure you are more concerned about giving the right kind of family support and safety to your daughter and grand-daughter.
Meantime why don't you delete the related content and comments? I would.
Tallulah Wow x 6!
Find some space to sew and enjoy.
Blessings:)
Crikey some people can't wait to put the knife in! I love reading your blog, I think you're a terrific mum and grandma and I enjoy reading about your family, I think what you do is your business - one of the reasons I enjoy the blog is that your life is so totally different to mine, I've never had to make some of the choices you have to, and wouldn't dream of criticising them. It's great to see that Keera is a happy and confident little girl, she clearly feels loved and supported. I'm more interested in the puppies arriving!
ReplyDeleteWTF PEOPLE.... SERIOUSLY this is about my little girl and making sure she is safe and well, I feel sad to say it but I now really don't give a rats as what some of you think of me, I could be sorted and have everything right and you would still find something to hate or disapprove of, so stuff it.
ReplyDeleteAt the end if he day all I care about is my daughters well being and getting shit right again for her.
As for my financial situation and relationship status and so on......none of your dam business, and who would want to marry me anyways lol.
From Keera's Mother :)
Have a nice day
Forget about everyone else & just focus on getting yourself sorted so you & Keera can be happily back together again. You have the opportunity to be a good role model for her :-). Good Luck & stay strong.
DeleteThank you Tracy :)
DeleteFrom Keera's Mummy :)
Six puppies! You will be busy :-) I had to laugh when you referred to them as wrigglers the other day, because we have nicknamed our baby Wriggles after the first scan. Good luck! Penny xo
ReplyDeleteOMG! Aren't some people just nasty and stick their nose in where it isn't wanted. Good Luck sorting things out Lacey and you are the best Chris. This makes me so angry.
ReplyDeleteAs a daughter i hope that if i ever needed help getting on my feet or my kids needed some stability then my mum would step up to the plate and as a mother i know that i would do anything to help my kids including taking in their kids. Keera is with loving grandparents and her brother and sister and has her Aunty, uncle and cousins nearby. She will be completely fine untl Lacey can get back on her feet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sus :)
DeleteFrom Keera's Mummy
Of course you must have Keera - yes, it's enabling Lacy but there is no other way. As grandparents it's just what we do - God knows I've bent over backwards over the years enabling my daughter for both her sake and my grandson's sakes.
ReplyDeleteOh wow people are so rude and judgemental. I wish you all the best Lacy, you have a beautiful girl. You will get sorted and it's great your mum and dad are there for you while you do. I wish people would keep there negative comments to themselves. Chris you're amazing don't listen to them, you know what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteKym/Australia
Oh my god there are some very negative nellys posting today. Chris delete that crap and keep on doing what your doing which is caring for your family, haters going to hate no matter what you do or say. Good luck Lacy time to get your shit together for yourself and your beautiful girl 😊 and I know you will
ReplyDeleteThis what us Parents and grandma's do love our family unconditional right or wrong we do WHAT WE FEEL IS BEST for our kids or grandie s and help when and where we can. So u haters our there I guess your family don't mean anything too you. Hang 9n in there Lacy there is a light at the end of the tunnel ( and listen to mum lol) LeeAnneL
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful to do this for your grandchildren. All the best.
ReplyDeleteWhat you and Stew are doing Chris is to be admired - and the right thing - putting Keera's welfare and stability first. Keera and Lacy are very fortunate to have such caring family members. (Wow .... 6 puppies - you will be busy! Have you thought of names yet?)
ReplyDeleteYey 6 puppies! Keera looks like a little sweetheart and I'm sure she'll enjoy having this time to spend with you and her grandad and her brother and sister. Best of luck to Lacy, I hope she gets everything figured out and is back with Keera soon :)
ReplyDeleteKeera looks so happy with Griffin and those nails ha gorgeous. 6 puppies gee hope there all ok in there and all BOYS!!! ALL BLACKS are the New Black haha!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the grandpuppies:-) And hugs and love to your wonderful family. I'm sending good vibes that Lacy and Keera are together again soon. You're a wonderful mother Chris. Unconditional love and support is what a parent does xox
ReplyDeleteThinking of you all Chris, good luck and blessings to you all.
ReplyDeleteCan't post on the day before's post, I was just going to say wow Keera is getting so big! She's just adorable!
ReplyDeleteI don't comment very often , but have to add my voice to those supporting you. I know that you will always give love and support to all of your kids and grandkids. Keera deserves stability, and if the only way that this can be the case, then congratulations to both you and Stew and Lacy for being prepared to put her needs before your own. Life is sometimes a struggle, and we all make sh*t decisions at times, it is just that some of us are lucky enough that we have more resources to recover. Good luck Lacy and I hope that you can soon get your life back to stability so that you can have Keera with you full-time.
ReplyDeleteNobodys business and only support should be offered. Yiu have no choice. A Grandma is a grandna abd thats it. Keera is coming first with you. I would do the same.
