And so it starts.
The nausea? morning sickness? nope , well yes a little nausea but I am talking about the fears. We went to the doctor last week, had a sonogram and there it was... a beautiful egg sack, yolk and all and even a filckering heart beat. Sigh.....so far so good.
We are trying to not get overjoyed until the next appointment which is when we actually hear the heartbeat. Sigh.
Baby steps right?
My husband is very guarded and fearing another autism child. I can't really blame him except I tell him we know the signs and what to do for extra early intervention if need be. Besides, who can forget my son's metals level from his urine toxic metals test. Won't it be better already if I prevent the metals to enter his/her body this time around as much as I can? After all, we have been at this for quite a while now. I know though that fears or not, it will take one look into the baby's eyes for him to melt again like he did with our first!
Only time will tell. For now, I leave the fear in the hands of my husband and although I too am scared I will try to focus on all the positive stuff that comes with being pregnant.
By belly is starting to pop out. Already 35 1/1 inches! up from 34" last week. 8 weeks tomorrow. 4 more weeks and I will be able to breathe slower and calmer.
On to research organic everything: mattresses, pjs, clothing and then glass bottles, natural toys, etc...this is going to be interesting. What about formula? organic formula? what is the alternate option to milk other than cow's milk and my own?
I think this is going to be great for my son! I am mostly excited to see and experience their interaction. Everytime he sees a baby awake he says "baby sleep" , won't work but it will be cute to see him try!

Positive thoughts, going your way! I think you have the right idea. You know sooo much more now. And your body is so prepared for this, you're eating right, your house is eco-friendly. You've really cut down on toxins. As for genetics there is nothing you can do about that, so just try not to worry too much.
About formulas, can't you breast-feed if you are GFCF yourself? (Not to get too personal!)
Everyone I know seems to be pregnant right now. My MIL told me the other day she really thinks we should consider adopting again, maybe an older child (like age 2-3). She thinks we should do it for the Prince, that he'd be better off with a sibling.
But I guess I am like your DH, I feel like I've got my hands full now and then there is a financial issue. Adoption isn't free and I don't see our ASD costs for junior going away any time soon.
Sorry, didn't mean to take away from your happiness. Stay happy, try to really enjoy this pregnancy. You owe it to yourself!
Positive energy, all the time.
Love,
Katherine
I found you thru the mommy blogs. i have some fears that my 14 month old daughter may be autistic. I'm very interested to speak with other moms who have gone thru this so that I can see if I'm just being paranoid, or my suspicions are correct. Please check out my blog when you have a moment...I just posted about my suspicions, or email me at nikk2425@comcast.net
Thanks so much...and congrats on the pregnancy!!
