although it does get lonely here somehow it's easier.
May be it's the fact that I don't expect someone to help me so I summon up all my energy, may be I take it easier knowing that there's no help coming. It's probably also the fact that he's not around for me to get angry at him so I am better dealing with Madison. And it is easier to plan meals when it's just the two of us.
I was freaking out for a while that he won't be here when the baby is born but I am over that- it's too early and if it happens it happens. I'll deal with it as it comes. Worrying about it won't do me any good.
Now everybody else is freaking out including my mother in law who is ready to jump on a plane and be here in 3 hours if I need her. she makes me laugh sometimes, although it is nice to know that someone worries about you.
Madison has been talking up a storm. We are about 2 weeks into her Speech Therapy from EI and starting more therapy at Columbia in 2 weeks as well. so we should see improvements fast. She already is doing better with her sounds- I have also been working on stuff with her and I really like it. It's much more productive to play with her when I have a goal in mind- otherwise i get bored quite easily. And then I complain about her attention span- most likely it's genetic.
Looks like we might be able to start some occupational therapy as well. Evaluation showed that she does have some difficulties with her motor planning, which I believe is the problem with the speech as well.
Luckily it's all easy to fix according to the therapists.
She's growing so much . I took her to my doctor's appointment today, something I haven't done since she was 6 months old and she did great. We didn't have to wait long but she was good and it was the first time I didn't take the stroller with me. She enjoyed the taxi ride and the bus ride and I complained when I had to carry her but we made it and I am very proud of her.
My little girl is growing up....
