Please do not consider this a failure. A failure wouldn't have even tried. Just because it isn't a fit for your family doesn't mean you failed. If it was your own newborn...you would have had time to anticipate, educate and help your other children accept it. You are doing the best you can. My thoughts are with you as you work through this difficult time.

I am so glad you had such a nice conversation. Even though the party didn't work out, something postive still happened. Just knowing that Dad took the time to talk to his child, I hope more will do the same. I hope Russell has a wonderful year!!

A.
I second that thought from Emilysmom, see if you can just let him join for cake and presents. Even if you are only there for 5 minutes, he will have taken part in something with his peers.
Just an idea but maybe the mom of the boy (or another parent) could give you a quick call on your cell phone as they are approaching cake and present time. This way, you could join the party while things are on the quieter side so he won't be too overwhelmed.
I hope you can work it out. Keep us posted.

Unfortunately, I can't offer any words of wisdom..but I can offer my support. I read the post about the camera and think that is a great idea (I wish I would have thought of it myself).
Take care and enjoy feeling that baby moving in your belly. Lisa

Hi,
I was wondering if all you more experienced moms could share your early intervention experience with me.
To date, EI has been to my house 2x to meet Daniel and get background info. This Fri, EI coordinator is coming again to see how we are doing. However, the coordinator doesn't actually do therapy. She says we are on a waiting list for a PT.
Daniel is 3 months.....by this time, had PT started for your children? I think at this age, I could be doing alot to help him but I don't know how.
I don't want to get started off on the wrong foot with EI. I don't want to be a complainer. My coordinator is fantastic, but I feel things should be moving along quicker.
Should I just continue to wait on the waiting list..or should I start being more vocal about my concerns?
**I am editing this message to note Daniel had heart surgery 4 weeks ago. When you respond, please indicate if your child had surgery and if/when PT started after surgery. Maybe there is some sort of waiting period after surgery. He seems to be doing fine, doesn't seem to be in any pain and is eating like a champ. Thanks everyone!!
Thanks for your help.

Just wanted to share a proud moment. After many tries...my Daniel reaches his toy and starts spinning it. He was also sweet enough to let Daddy capture it on camera as well as camcorder. I am so proud of him. He is only 12 weeks old and had av canal repair surgery only 4 weeks ago. He is doing great and he wanted to show his Mommy he is feeling better. Thanks for letting me share my moment. I hope you like the pic.

I was watching tv this morning and one of many statistics that I heard was alarming. They said 80% of New Orleans is underwater (to some degree, may not be completely submerged). Can you believe that? My heart goes out to everyone affected. Even if your home is spared...your workplace may not be (and vice versa).

Yes, my daughter will be 3 in Oct. She is VERY tall. My husband is 6ft 6inches so needless to say...she will be on the tall side!! I hope my Danny will thrive like she is. He is off to a good start..already 23 inches.

Just wanted to share my beautiful kids. Today is a dark dreary day in RI...I decided to make it brighter by sharing some pics of my kids. Hope you like them. My Elayna will be 3 on Oct 1st and Daniel is almost 3 months (I don't want to jinx myself..but he is sleeping through the night...)

That is wonderful that you can take care of him. My son just about 3 months now. What a nice age for you to be there and give him all the hugs and kisses babies need.

Jessie,
I remember so well those sleepless nights (my son is almost 3 months). I found that if I could catch a quick nap during the day (I don't know if that is possible for you) I slept better at night. I have read that people can be so tired...you can't relax enough to get to sleep. Maybe that is what is happening to you.
Enjoy what is left of your pregnancy...it is such an amazing time. Have you picked a name yet?
