Getting quirkier.

My blogging has slowed down majorly the past few days. I'm sorry. I'm mostly in withdrawal mode from friends and family. Some of who can't seem to handle it and I've lost connection with them. Oh well, I guess it really just boils down to if I have Kenny and the kids. The rest are veng fodder. (Gamers may get the reference.)

Right now, with Dylan, we're doing minor monthly visits with the ECI. We're playing a "look and see" type of thing, I suppose. While he has SOME traits of Autism, he lacks the rest. We're most likely looking at PPD-NOS.

His habits are getting quirkier. If there's TWO of exactly the same thing, he MUST have a certain one, even when we (as adults) can't tell the difference, apparently he can. His food must be arranged a certain way, and on a certain plate. Like right now, he had to have cereal in a BIG bowl. His food habits are getting rougher. He whines about everything we eat.

When riding in a vehicle he MUST be on the passenger side. He flips out if we attempt to put him on the driver's side. He has suddenly developed a fear of water. He now hates bath time, something he used to love.

Sometimes I feel so lost with him. Like I'm a little speck in his big old world of a nearly 3 year old. I'm his mom, I'm supposed to show him which way to go but all I feel like I can do is allow him to lead.

It's really unsettling.

I haven't taken any pictures lately, but I will soon. I've been tired and stressed, and not in the mood for much creativity.

If you can please say a prayer for Nate, his wife Tricia, and little Gwyneth. I have their blog linked in my list.

The Countdown begins!

M good friend Karla is 37 weeks today. She was there for the birth of Dylan, and I'm going to be there for the birth of her daughter, Reagan. I'm so excited I can't stand it.

I threw a breastfeeding basket together for her for her baby-shower, and have a little hospital bag ready for her, too. I think I'm going to get a board game for her, as well. Karla was so brave standing at the foot of the bed when Dylan was born.

She also took pictures. And while Dylan was in the NICU, Jason and Karla spent so much time with us at the hospital. They made pot roast stew, picked up things for us... everything. They're such amazing friends, and I'm absolutely thrilled for them. Kenny will be tagging along to prove jason with some company.

Believe it or not, Jason was pretty much there for both the birth of Dylan and Marissa. I scared the crap out of him with Dylan, but his resolve must have strengthened because he wasn't the least bit scared while I was in labor with Marissa.

Karla is due July 4th, her doctors seem to think she'll make it to the very day. The anticipation will be killing us all!

City of Heroes fun

Yeah, he got Pwned.

Then I got pwned. And teabagged.

HILARIOUS. Need I say more?

Still having internet issues

For about a week now. It'll be fine up until 11am(c) and then it will start cutting out every few minutes. It's ridiculous, and beyond frustrating.

Suddenlink has someone finally coming out here tomorrow. It took me a year of fucking phone calls to get them someone out here. Suddenlink is horrible, and I would not recommend their services. If I could go with someone else, I would.
