We had Ryan's CSE meeting on January 19th and as expected they qualified Ryan for speech services. We are still annoyed that we wasted all of this time. He could have been receiving speech services since September. We are still not pleased with the progress that we are seeing with the program at Wappingers. He made such great progress by this time last year we are now wondering if we made a mistake in not sending him to a full day program. But we did meet with his new speech teacher and she seems really nice and we are hopeful that with the twice a six day cycle sessions we will start seeing some progress with Ryan. We will keep you updated.

Ryan and Julia are both very excited about having a baby brother or sister. Ryan now says he wants a baby brother and might want to name him "Batman Beyond"; too funny! Now that the baby bump is evident we are getting tons of questions about the sex of the baby. We are not planning to find out and want to be surprised. So usually the next question to follow is which we would prefer. I know it is somewhat of a cliche, but we truly just want a healthy baby. Once you actually have your own child this statement really hits home. I look at my children and am so grateful for who they are and what joy they have brought us. I know we are very lucky! As difficult as things may sometimes get, and the sacrifices we need to make, it is nothing compared to what others have to face with a truly sick child. I would feel an enormous amount of guilt and sadness bringing a child into this world who would suffer from pain; sadly there is way too much suffering in this world already!
