7 Months Later . . .

A lot has happened in 7 months. First of all we have 4 children now instead of the original 3. BJ's mom had another baby - a girl!!! We will call her BG for baby girl! BJ adores her to death, but is still adapting to having a baby in the house who took over his place as baby! BG was born very healthy and we picked her up from the hospital when she was just 3 days old with no withdrawal. She is the happiest baby I've ever seen and smiles and coos and sleeps soo good. We had her sleeping in our room until last week when we bumped the older boys into the downstairs bedroom and put her in her own room finally! It was well over do. We thought about putting BJ and BG together, but BJ has a tendency to cry out at night hence why he is seeing a neurologist so we couldn't do that.

BJ had an MRI and an EEG last week because they want to find out the root of all the crying out at night. It's only for a short period of time, but he does it often and then goes right back to sleep. BJ also has many delays and has 3 different therapist to help him. He has a Speech/Language therapist a Developmental Therapist and just recently an Occupational Therapist was added. The 1st twe he has had since November '09, but we were wait listed for O/T. He is just coming off of a cold/fever and he has been sooo whiney and attached lately. He is especially attached to my mom, because when he's sick and can't go to daycare he stays with her and OMG she babies him sooo soo much. I can't complain because she is taking care of him for me, but at the same time she makes life rough for us when we have to attend to all 4 and can't spoil him the way she does so we end up with a whiney whiney boy who wants to be held and catered to all day long!!! Anyone else have this problem and how do you deal with it? Other than a few delays he is absolutely amazing. He is super smart as far as memory and recognizing objects and loves loves animals. He is a genious at puzzles and is eating well on his own, needs some help with a spoon sometimes, but he gets the idea.

N5 and X7 are still with us. They are now getting 3 visits a week with their BP's. They had home visits, but those were recently taken away because BD is not reaching all of his goals. They should have never been getting home visits especially since the home was never approved, but some how each agency is different and the case had to change agencies for a little while because our original agency didn't have a Spanish speaking case worker, but now it does. Anyway more on that later. TBC. . .
