Until we find out what our next grandbaby is! She has her ultrasound on the 16th. Keep your fingers crossed that the baby shows "the area" so we will know one way or the other!!

Good luck!

Our future darlin' grandbaby decided to stretch out face down on mommy's spine, and wouldn't budge.

Both of us grandmoms were poised for shopping sprees, now postponed for a couple more weeks and still knitting in neutral colors.

Boy...is this child going to here about this when he/she gets older :)

Personally I miss the old days when you didn't know the sex of the baby until they were born. Now it's so-and-so is pregnant, they're having a girl/boy. Didn't mean to sour your good news though, I can only imagine anticipating a grandbaby is wonderful no matter which sex it is.

I'd try fertilizing half of them, see what that does. I always just go ahead and soak the roots with my diluted fertilizer mix; my understanding is, as long as you have the right ratio of water to fertilizer, the amount of fertilizer+water that you add doesn't matter. For example, I fertilize with fish emulsion. I measure the tablespoon or whatever of emulsion in the gallon jug of water, mix, and then I pour it in a seedling flat and bottom water as I normally would. Once the cups are good and heavy/full of water, I take them out. I usually rotate several flats of seedlings through that one batch of fertilizer+water until it's all been soaked up (in the course of a couple of hours, I don't let it sit around or anything, stinky!!). Hope that helps, someone else chime in if I'm incorrect in my thinking.

Why are your plants getting fungus? This must be solved. Spryaing should not be a long term answer. Like taking a pain killer instead of finding out what is causing you to need a pain killer and treat the cause instead of covering up. It isn't a good idea nor needed to spray the plant itself, in a enclosed terrarium you may be encouraging fungus growth on the plant. Constantly spraying the plant with heavy mist does it no favors. A water spray of fine mist to enchance the look is great but spraying chemicals organic or not is zapping the vigor of the plant, without finding the cause of the problem. This plant does fine with humidity in the air in producing dew thick leaves, which you spray it you wash them down. D. capensis doesn't like real hot temperatures that could build up in a terrarium and likes moderately strong light. Its not a hard plant. There have been plants here sitting outside all winter with temps down to the low 30's and highs only in the 50's with cold nw winds hitting them and low humdity down to the 30% range which have had dew and good leaves. Though a bit ragged out looking. Now with temperatures in the 70's and nights in the 60's they thrive with humdity still low at about 45 - 60%. However with summer heat soon to arrive the D. capensis will go downhill due to the temperatures climbing into the low 90's and 80 at night with very high humidity and the sun to much for them.

Friend and I talked about going to Little Rock tomorrow, do a little shopping (I need to find something to wear to a baby shower on Sunday), eat lunch with our kids and come home. Then I remembered that my DGDs both have dental appointments tomorrow and Twinkie still isn't doing too well. He got an epidural in his back last week for the pain and so far it hasn't helped. So, gonna stay home and look for something here in town to wear. Found out more than you ever wanted to know, didn't ya!? LOL I understand about the changing of jobs, Kath. After a certain point it doesn't make sense to change jobs and basically have to start all over with seniority, etc. Esp. when you've got kids to feed and educate, etc.

My DS and DDIL decided to be surprised with both of my grandchildren. After having 3 boys, this Nana really wanted a little girl but most everyone in the family was rooting for the first baby to be a boy. Well, I got my wish and finally had my little girl. 13 months later, she became a big sister to an adorable little brother. At the time, I was chomping at the bit to know the sex of those babies but now, looking back, I think being surprised was really neat.
