my doc told me they will still induce a week early
again. That puts it on christmas, but then she said after christmas before new year.

I dont have a problem with a christmas baby though and well they have to be there
that day anyway. Id really like a christmas eve baby though but they wont induce ahead any more than a week early unless its a emergency.

---

That's funny cuz I told my dr. that unless I have issues like with Lucas I do not want pitocin anywhere near my body. I have never gone into labor on my own and would rather be late then induced. (remind me I said this around mid january ok LOL)

 

---

they induce me because of my BP. Ive only done a pit induction once and it didnt work. They broke my water with K and when the pit didnt work. Scott was stripped membranes. Maybe Im bigger on it since i want to get this baby in for the tax year LOL

 

---

 Yeah we are really hoping that my BP stays ok. So far it's been ridiculously perfect. It's amazing how much healthier I am now then when I had Lucas. (by healthier I mean much smaller LOL) 

I was so hoping we would get into this tax year but that would be way too early.

OK I get the hint Ill go do the dishwasher.

I really love Rayms Early Intervention lady.

Shes been great. Im going to be sad when Rayms three and he doesnt get to see her anymore. I know we get switched to the school district, but Im 95 percent sure we are turning that down to keep him in a normal preschool.

---

 I cried on Lucas's last day of Birth to 3.

Why are you going to keep him in a normal preschool?? The progress Lucas made in the school system is unreal and he was exposed part time to "normal" kids.  He never would have gotten the therapies and things he needed at a regular preschool.

---

I and his new therapist think it will hinder him. His old tutor said she had been there with one of her aba kids and she would NEVER stick her kid there.
 the They said there are only 3 or so normal peers in there and that they are usually still a little behind so that they dont have a huge range of things in the room.

Raym is soooo high functioning. The only thing he really seams to have a huge issue in is communication on his end (he understands everything I tell him for the most part)  and sitting and waiting which we are working on. He imitates great and knows all of letters, numbers, colors, shapes. He also can still get about 10 hours of therapy at our house a week ( right now he only does 6) so he wouldnt be losing therapy completely.

I guess it really depends on how I feel when I talk to them take a tour whatever, but from what I hear so far it doesnt seem the right fit for him.

Ahh gotcha.

Lucas had just been diagnosed when he aged out of birth to 3 and they do not offer any therapy beyond age 3 they have to go to the school system for therapy. Lucas's first exposure to ABA and OT (he had ST through Bto3) was in the school system and he never could have gotten that in mainstream preschool.

The way his school worked is the morning was all therapy and special needs kids and in the afternoon they were integrated with mainstream kids.

 

---

His ABA is through our insurance. We have basically an add on I guess that covers his therapy till hes 18 or 22 if hes in college.

If we only had the school system for therapy Im sure Id have a different POV as I know how much his therapy has helped him progress.

 

We decided to do the pictures. Now let's just hope I can learn to say no better. I am sure they are going to be great. E did have to use the bathroom while we were there, though. She seems fine otherwise.

I need to get started on my tini challenge.

April, your best idea is the best post.

LL, that is totally a beautiful baby belly. I hope you can keep from being induced this time too. I was determined not to do it with E, but stupid bp made that not a possibility.

Tracy, how's your belly these days? Do we get to see yours?

i'm on the phone with the hospital scheduling a kidney ultrasound for caroline.

the dr yesterday was super cool and she always spends a good amount of time talking to us.

i love our peds.

---

It sounds like it was a good appointment.  Is this just to make sure?  What did she say?

---

she said at this point she probably should have an ultrasound & follow up with a pediatric urologist. she said it's probably not anything medical but it's best to be sure. 

so - her u/s is on aug 5th and the follow up with the ped urologist is aug 19th.

they also did urine tests yesterday (culture & dip?)

It sounds like she really is a great pedi.  Let us know how it goes.  It does sound like there isn't any big cause for alarm, which is good.  I am glad you will get some solid answers so you know better what to do.  I think it would be hard to balance which direction to take without knowing for sure and then having mommy guilt if you do the wrong one.  You are a smart mom.

 

To switch rooms with Raven. She now has the master. Now all her stuff fits in her room and I don't have to have it in the living room.

Do indoor/outdoor cats usually go outside instead of the litter box? I'm feeding my brothers cats while they are in Chicago and when I went there the door to where the litter box is at is closed. I guess they go outside.

I would say as long as they can go outside they are likely doing it there.  When I had an inside/outside cat, I hardly had to clean the litter box.
