:D Wow, I wonder if anyone I knew is even HERE anymore. Anyway, my original GM username was "Tinkymamma". I don't think I've been here since I was newly pregnant with offspring#2.
He's 3 months old now.
Soo..My name is Sarah, I'm 20 and I have 2 boys Christopher and Jacob (ages 19 months and 3 months). I got pregnant again with J when C was 7 months old. It was a pretty uncomplicated pregnancy and I had J on December 5th after 3 hours of labor. (No Epi. yay!)
In the middle of my pregnancy, hubby and I moved into a 4 bedroom house with my dad so we could have more room for the boys.
Jacob is so much different from his brother. HUGE, for one. The kid is 3 months old and weighs 17lbs...Christopher is almost 20 months and weighs 27. There's only a 5 inch height difference between them. lol.
Things have been pretty smooth sailing until now. Christopher has recently been evaluated by physical, occupational, developmental and speech therapists. Even though he's 19 months old, developmentally he's around 14-15 months. He doesn't talk (at all) and only started walking a week before I had his brother. He's flat footed. I can't put him around other kids his age because he gets so stressed out that he bites himself. Last time I let him around a 14 month old little girl, he broke the skin on his hand.
It hasn't been a pleasant month.
It is possible that Christopher has symptoms of Aspergers Syndrome, just like I do. I just really hope that's not the case.
Jacob's a different story...he's rolling and babbling and doing everything he's supposed to be doing and more.
Sorry for the long update.
Hope everyone's doing well!

i remember you! I'm glad to see you update, and I'm sorry it hasn't been a good month for you guys. there are several mamas here dealing with Asperger's in some way, so hopefully you'll be able to find support here if that's the case.

If you don't remember me, i'm julie, mom to a four year old named Dylan, partnered to Alli, the mom of a six year old named Cade.

i hope to see you around!

I remember you, but I think your ORIGINAL name here was quirky tinkerbell. I remember when you were pregnant with Christopher.

Sorry about all you're dealing with. I hope you will have access to the best possible care for your little one. Not having answers can be really frustrating.

Hey Sarah!

I know I leave you tons of notes anyway, but just wanted to say "hi" it's me Laura aka "Outsider." Don't worry tooo much about Christopher because you've got plenty of people coming to try to help him out. Your boys are soooo adorable. :D
