One more thing


I have decided not to homeschool Kenny next year. I will be starting the search for the appropriate school for him at the beginning of March.

The right time

So we bought the ovulation kit. We hope it aids us in our quest to have another child.

So, Raul's boss is coming back. He left a few months ago. At first he claimed that he was going to quit. Then his regional boss talked Raul's boss into taking family leave instead. He packed up his things and moved to California. So Raul has been here doing the boss' job for 3 months with no compensation. *grumbles*

Well his boss comes back in a couple of weeks. Can't wait for Raul not to have to go in on Saturdays or Mondays anymore!

Referrals

So the other day the doctor said that he would get some referrals sent out on behalf of Kenny. We are still trying to get a firm diagnoses on him. We have yet to receive the referrals ans Raul called the insurance company and they said that a referral is not need. So tomorrow I need to call the doctor.

I was doing research the other day and found that we are 30 times more likely to have another child on the autistic spectrum. This seems kind of odd to me since doctors don't even know what causes autism.

This last month

Okay so this last month was the month we started trying to get pregnany again. After being diagnosed with diabetes we stopped trying because of the mediacation they put me on. Then a couple of months ago I had the doctor change my meds so that we could start trying again.

We told ourselves and each other that we wouldn't get our hopes up. However we still found ourselves in the baby section at the Walmart everytime we went shopping.

I go back in to talk with the doctor next week.

I will be looking up more info on the internet about ovulation prediction kits.

Changing direction

I am changing direction with my blog. It will be dedicated to all things to do with our final try at having more children.

Not many people in our lives know how painful this journey has been for us. We have shut people out just so we didn't have to share this personal struggle.

We have had to endure the, when questions, the why haven't you questions, and the comments about raising and only child.

I have decided that we will share with those that are closest or should be closest to us, the everyday ups and downs of this final attempt at getting pregnant and carrying to term.

If we are unsuccessful in this endeavor then we will be looking into adoption. We have discussed this option for many years and finally feel that all three of us are ready to open up our home and hearts to a child or children that are in need of both.

I will be sharing the impact that all of our struggles have and do effect our choices to expand our family. From Kenny's Autism/Asperger's disorder/PDD-NOS( http://autism.about.com/od/whatisautism/f/whatishfa.htm )to my mental illness and diabetes.

So here we go.
