I went to my second appointment with my OBGYN and had a second ultra sound…I saw the heart beat again. I still haven’t heard it. The doc said things look fine.
Being this early how much can she tell about my pregnancy? I will be 8 weeks tomorrow.
She did refer me to see a perinatologist ( I think that’s how you spell it) …my appt is June 8th. What should I expect at this appt?
We were in Vegas for the long weekend…we drove there. It was a long ride. Leonardo did really well. Once we were there we spent a lot of time at the Circus Circus..he loved the shows and playing the games. He even won a stuffed animal. My baby boy is growing up so fast. I can’t believe it.

Montessori,Private, or Public school?
How do you choose? I’ve read many posts and many of the kids on here go to a Montessori school. I looked into a Montessori school close to where we live and I liked it. I also looked into a private pre-school and liked it too. He was in a public school for 1 day a week and he loved it. I plan to hold off pre-school for now until he’s 4. His language should definitely be better then. His language is what is holding e from sending him to school now. I am afraid that he will not be able to tell me when something is wrong or if someone does something to him. I know eventually I will have to choose…how do I do that? What are the things that I should be looking for?
Leonardo is doing so well. He had his last appointment with the High Risk Infant Clinic. Overall he’s doing good. The developmental testing showed age appropriate skills in all domains except gross motor skills, which were emerging. Per the doctor Leonardo has some calf muscle tightness; and so he has been referred to see a Physical Therapist to address this problem. They agree that he should continue to receive speech therapy. He will receive this service through the school system twice a week for 30 minutes.
As for me I’m 6 weeks now. I feel fine just a little tired. I continue to be scared everyday. I am so afraid that I will miscarry anytime soon…that the baby will be born too early…or that the baby won’t make it after he’s born. I hate having these feelings…
My first pre-natal appt went well. My due date has now been changed from 12/31/09 to 1/8/10. I know that I will definitely have a c-section.
Just like when I was pregnant with Leonardo I have no symptoms at all.

A couple of months ago I was having a conversation with Leonardo’s Occupational therapist and I was telling her how I was not sure when I would/if I would send Leonardo to pre-school.
He is cared for at home so there is no other children. I mentioned to her that id like to find a place to take him where he would interact with other children and learn things. She told me that she knew of a school. It just happens to be that the school has an Early Intervention Program called LIFT (Learning for Infants and Families Together) for infants to 3 year olds.
The LIFT team consists of a special education teacher, a hearing impaired specialist, a visually impaired specialist, an occupational therapist, and a speech language specialist. They serve infants 0-3 years of age who have delays in cognitive, speech and language, motor, self-help, and social skills.
The LIFT Team members provide support, resources, modeling, and teaching techniques that enable the family to help their infant or toddler develop to their full potential.
The program philosophy is based on early identification and intervention. PERFECT!!!
I though looking into this program would be a good idea. This idea got stronger when I got the letter from the doctors where they explain that Leonardo is behind in some areas. I decided that I would call and get detailed info on the program.
On Monday I went to the school and filled out an application. I was so anxious to find out the status of the application that I called today. To make the conversation story short.
He starts school tomorrow……..I am so excited!!!!!
It’s a 90 minute once a week class he will be attending.
I hope he likes it. I hope this helps him.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HARDER

I took the morning off from work today to take Leonardo into the hospital laboratory. He needed to get some blood drawn. This test will determine if he has SLOS (Smith-Lemli-Opits syndrome). On our ride there I was telling him where we were going and what they'd be doing to him. His response no! no!. When we got there we waited..not very long thaks to the receptionist. She mentioned to me that there was a 45 minute wait  and that if that was ok. I said yeah its ok but if I would have known that it gets busy at this time I would have came earlier. I explained to her that I was told to go in at 11 since the blood work needs to be shipped out to Maryland and that way it doesn't sit at the lab for a long time before it is shipped out at 2PM. Once I told her that she said she'd move us up to the front. I thought that was nice of her. When we walked in to the room I sat down with Leonardo on my lap. He had his pacifier in his mouth. I am trying to not give it to him other than when he's going to sleep or is upset over something. I figured this is a good time. I was so sure that he'd cry and get upset once he felt the needle. When the technicians began to prepare his little arm I began to prepare him. I began to tell him that this was it. Than he was going to feel a pinch and that I knew it was going to hurt but that it would only be for a couple of seconds. Im telling him all this and I see the needle go in and the blood start to come. I began to cry and Leonardo.....he was a trooper.  He just watched as the technician did her job. No crying not even a little whining. The technician praised him on what a good strong boy he is. He got a sticker.
