clementine I forgot our diaper bag for our outing today. Thankfully DS slept all through the outing, but it had the potential to be chaos. katietopaz I am sorry about the potential ASD diagnosis. I am a school psych myself so I have had to break that kind of news a lot. Just remember people who have an ASD diagnosis are still able to do lots of things and make gains. I think last year for ASD awareness the slogan at my job was see the able not the label. With the appropriate intervention and supports it sounds like he will make gains.

The first night home with DS2 was rough. I only got 1.5 hours of sleep. I hope tonight goes better.
Also, I got the staples from my csection removed today. I may actually try to local at the incision now. I have been too nervous to look at it b

clementine the first time we took DD to the pedi, we pulled her out of the car seat to find the most disgusting blowout from knees to neck. I feel like the pedi visit are great “trial runs” for handling craziness katietopaz I’m sorry there wasn’t better news. I’m sure it must feel overwhelming and scary but the way you talk about his improvements and hard work says so much you as a mom. You’re a great advocate and cheerleader for him. You’ve got a lot going on - I’m sure in a few months, when things settle down, it’ll be better.

Hugs katietopaz. Three of my cousins have different ASD diagnoses’ and they are very bright very happy boys. You sound like an incredible advocate for your child and that’s really the biggest thing. It’s ok to feel however you feel. ❤️

katietopaz That's a lot to process and I'm sure very overwhelming. I hope after the 2nd part of the evaluation that you'll get more clear answers and a good plan for your DS going forward. ❤

mattsgirl2004 that’s horrible! Are you having a csection? Any chance your on would move your induction instead? That seems like a lot of work when your baby is just about term. Yes, I have a RCS scheduled for April 4th. My OB has Monday off, but I have an appointment with her on Tuesday. I'm going to talk to her about everything next week. I'm feeling pretty miserable and so exhausted. I hope she can offer a solution for some short term relief.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the outpouring of encouragement and kind words. I don't know that I can really express how much it means to me. I did have a good cry and process a bit with DH, which helped too. We'll keep taking it one step at a time and doing the very best we can to help DS thrive.
You ladies are the most wonderful bunch ❤️ I'm very thankful to get to do pregnancy/life with our BMB!

It feels a lot worse than it looks so ...hopefully that’s your experience too. And I hope you get some sleep

TW Loss - about my friend Today is baby’s funeral. My BFF and her SO are both going to try to speak. I feel like we are all going to barely survive this day. I know it’s so fucked but I could not feel more guilty for showing up to this 8 months pregnant. I still can’t believe this is real life. Sorry to be a downer. I had to get that out somewhere.

@mattsgirl2014 I hope they can figure something out for you. I can’t imagine doing all you do in that much pain. ArielMermaid I’m so sorry for your friend and her so and for you. We’ll be sending extra good thoughts to you all today. Please don’t feel guilty - this is *not something you chose, you’re not being pregnant AT her or to spite her. You’re going to support your friend at one of her lowest points. I know you are prepared for your pregnancy to be hard for her - you’re doing the best thing by being there, but having no expectations for her

ArielMermaid, That is a terrible position and very awkward and I know you feel awful. Hang in there today. DH took the kids to the zoo so I can study this morning and I told my mom this when she called this morning. Her response "He's taking all of them??" Uh, yeah. They're his kids too and it's the only way I can get any studying done. Then she calls an hour later "Can you bring me up to pick up my car in an hour? Just take a little break?" Yeah, that's why dh took the kids out for the morning, so I can take an hour and drive you around. WTH? I am get so frustrated by this stuff. She thinks she lives 5 minutes away, but I timed the last 'quick errand' I ran over there for and it took 30 minutes round trip. Today it will end up being an hour round trip. That is not a break. She honestly has no idea what my life is like. This car repair is her only 'thing' this weekend. I have a few other things going on. I'm probably being overly sensitive, but honestly. I am pissed.

katietopaz, Sorry that you were a little down yesterday about the potential dx for your son. It's awesome that he's coming a long way and your doing a great job advocating for him. ArielMermaid, I'm sorry that today is going to be such a hard day for you and your friends family. I'll keep you all in my thoughts.

I'm sorry that she's doesn't understand that. 😐 She was a single parent my whole life and I know she thinks having dh here is a huge help (and obviously he is and I wouldn’t change it), but she had e/o weekend alone my whole life and 1-2 nights a week alone. I have none of that. This time is PRECIOUS.

I took unisom last night because I was having trouble sleeping but I don't think I slept enough to have it wear off because I've felt super out of it all day.
The H and I are supposed to celebrate our dating anniversary tonight but between the unisom haze and my sinus infection I really don't feel like it. But I'm really hoping we don't make it until next weekend without having this baby so I'm going to suck it up and try to enjoy it.

Does anybody talk to Rama outside of HIH? Just want to make sure she’s ok.
