THIS MAY BE A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR SOME READERS... 

In June, I went to Sendas Urgent Care to have my tummy checked out...I was having some abdominal pain.  I knew I was pregnant and was scheduled to see my doctor the next day.  Something told me that I needed to get to a doctor before my appointment, and quick!  I was sent away in an ambulance to be told at the hospital that I had an ectopic pregnancy.  I researched ectopic pregnancies when I first felt pain, so I knew that there was a possibility there, but was praying that I was just being a whimp.  My right tube was taken due to the ruptured pregnancy.  I was torn to pieces.  My husband and I were so excited before this happened and we had even told my 5 year old.  She would rub my belly and say things like, "I can't wait to see the new baby."  My heart shattered.  Finally I told her that the stork that brings babies to people has to find us another baby because he got lost.  She was ok with that, thankfully, although she had several questions before she accepted that answer, being that she's very intelligent.  I went to great lengths to get her to believe me.  My question is, have any of you ever experienced an ectopic pregnancy and if so, what was life like after that devastating event for you and your family?         

Well you guys...  I just wanted to let you know that I took your advice on "ways to organize my daughter's room", and it worked.  I put some tubs in her room for toys and books and she has a blast cleaning. I have also been putting stars on a chart for her for every time she cleans her room and she is so excited!  Wow!  Was my mind blank or what?  I had been trying to discipline her with a nutshell for a brain.  :)  Thx u guys!   

Does anyone have any tips for my kid cleaning her room? She's 5, so, let's see what ya got...  I have taken away t.v. time, put her on time out, taken away toys... She will sit there and look at it until she gets tired of doing that, and then come ask me if I'll help her. I wanna freak! I'm a neat-freak, so I always end up doing it myself. What can I do?
