Once autisic always autistic! Well yesterday my son proved that saying wrong! Since day one I have fought tooth and nail to make sure my son was given every oppurtuni...

The baby is sleeping and Jarrett is watching TV so I thought I'd drop in and write a bit, comment on some journals before attempting to clean my house. Everything is goin... Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:52:55 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/957258 I just wanted to let everyone know I finally had my little one.

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:28:13 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/946623 I had another Appt. today. I'm now 4cm and my doctor believes I'm really close, she think I wont make it another week. Yeay! If I'm still pregnant by monday we're gonna induce! The baby is now around 7 pounds, which is a really scary thought. My son Jarrett was only 5 and I had to ha... Wed, 02 Apr 2008 11:40:49 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/940510 38 weeks tomorrow! I'm starting to become very anxious about my baby boy's arrival. I tested positive for GBS, and after doing alot of research on the subject I'm really worried that I'm not going to get to the hospital in time to recieve the two rounds of antibiotics needed before h... Mon, 31 Mar 2008 08:21:40 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/933518 GET OUT!!!!! Argh! I want this little one out already. It's been two weeks and I'm still only dialated 3cm. I'm still having lots of contractions and I'm feeling so much pressure down there it's actually really uncomfortable. I was really hoping he'd be here this weekend but ... Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:56:47 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/926829 We saw our Dr. Today and he says the baby's kidneys are only mildly dialted and that he's not really concerned about it. We have to wait till my son is born to be 100%sure that no further action needs to be taken, but the odds look really good and in our favor. In the meantime I'm beggin... Tue, 25 Mar 2008 20:35:09 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/918069 We had a little scare yesterday. After a series of very uncomfortable contractions I felt the baby move very erraticly and then all movement stopped completely for about 45 minutes. So we went to the hospital where they monitored my baby and I for about 2 hours. Everything looked okay until they did... Sat, 22 Mar 2008 09:43:33 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/910691 I had my 36 week appt today. Everything went well, except that I turned out Group B Strep Positive.So now I have to be treated with Antibiotics while I'm in labor. I haven't progressed any further than 3cm. I'm hoping the baby will be here by next week but I guess that's up to him. I... Wed, 19 Mar 2008 11:03:56 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/904961 OKay, so I'm still stuck at 3cm. At this point I'm going a little crazy. I'm having tons of Braxton Hicks, but nothing really regular. However, the BH contractions are getting a whole lot stronger than what they used to be. One of my friends had her baby friday, she was so small and ador... Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:08:39 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/40421/journal/892907 I had my 35 week appt. yesterday and I have really big news. It turns out I'm already dilated 3cm and I'm 50% effaced! Since this had happend before with my first pregnancy they are pretty sure I wont go into full on labor until the next week or two, but the reality is I can go at any time. ...
