New News

Sorry, I haven't had the time to really sit down and blog lately. I started babysitting 2 boys for June and July and don't have much free time during the week.

A lot has changed since my last blog.
First, Hannah's Stereotypy. She has been doing this thing where she tenses up her hands and screws up her face. She has done it since she was about 6 months old. This is a picture of her doing it, if you have ever met her, you will recognize these actions.
Well we recently switched pediatricians because of wrong advise from the old one. SO the new doctor was shocked that she had not been evaluated for these actions that she was doing. So he hooked me up with a program called "Help me grow". This program is awesome! They helped me get Hannah's evaluation through children's hospital for FREE! I was so happy and thank full that they have this program.
Anyway, she has a team of 4 people, a behavior specialist, a psychiatrist, a nurse, and a pediatrician. They played with her and asked her lots of questions. After seeing everything she could do they declared that she was down right genius (well almost) and that she wasn't the least bit autistic, which is what we had feared. They then said that she had something called "Non autistic Stereotypy". We are still researching this, but hopefully she will just grow out of it in her childhood. It doesn't seem to bother her, and the only thing it might hinder is her social skills later in school.
So that is that and we are moving on....

Baby Tadpole.
So after a LONG discussion we decided that Hannah needed a brother or sister. So Michael is having his vasectomy reversed NEXT WEEK!! July 1st he will be going in for the 2 hour procedure and then he is off Thursday, Friday, the weekend and Monday for the holiday. Then we have to wait 1 month to start trying for baby Tadpole. http://tadpolesjourney.blogspot.com
We are VERY excited!


Well I guess that isn't a lot, but it is 2 really BIG things in Hannah's life, so it's a lot to us :)
Thank you for reading!
