Baby is healthy. We finally heard the heartbeat this morning, very strong, perfect, 160. I am being sent to a cardiologist to have another echo done & to be put back on the heart meds. It's not good for baby or me to be having these episodes while pregnant. I go back for a follow-up ultrasound on Friday, should be able to confirm if it's really a girl or not. :) I am 19 weeks, and past my 1/2 way mark. I will deliver via c-section early, so we're looking July 9 or July 12, haven't picked my date yet.
We finally have answers with Morgan. Asperger's, ASD, has been confirmed. An IEP is in place already & I found a support group to attend. I'm looking for blogs, books, websites. She can overcome this, with a lot of help & work. Hopefully we can get custody soon & have more time to work with her. The school is ready to do anything & everything they can to help her. I've said since she was 4 years old there was some mild autism, but what do I know? I'm just step mom, her PRIMARY caregiver, the one that does all the school work, all the extra-curricular activities, the one that deals with the health issues. What could I possibly know? It's never a great thing to hear your child is autistic, but having an answer now, as well as help, has me elated. I no longer feel like I'm banging my head on a wall trying to figure it all out on my own.
