Labor?

To day is the 25 of June, 2009. I am 39 weeks pregnant with my third child. Sometime past noon to day, as I relaxed with a friend under a shady tree, watching our kids play in the lake, my water broke. Now as the rain comes down on my roof,I wait for contractions to over come my body. There was a bit of a storm, and now there is calm. Much like the rain here in the summer, it comes and goes in spurts. I hope my body listens to the rain, and decides to take to the sea of contractions. We will see. Soon a new baby will be born in the world, with all the hopes and fears a new life brings to it parents.

You would think that beaning a person with a disability, that is fully functioning in the everyday world, that this would not phase me. I know that all the clangles that life brings us helps us build strong carter, and make us more resultant. But my heart bleeds as a mother fearing for my child. I know oh to well what it is like being different. And you can not look at me, and know i am different. My disability is hidden from the average interaction. (reading my writing is another story.)I fear not only for the changes that a disability brings, but also for how pears treat you differently.

37 weeks prego. with a sick kid.

To day i am officially full term in my 3rd pregnancy. Yesterday Elijah tested positive with strep, and was placed on drugs for it. Not what i would normaly do, but what do you do.
To day I took Alissa in for her vision and hearing test for Kindergarten, and was surprised. She has hearing loss in her left ear and needs to be retested by the audiologist. She was tested 2 year ago, and it seemed normal, but the test was inconclusive. Well I was siting on the floor of the small room when she was being tested, and heard tones throw the ear phones, that she did not here.
