Wow, I hadn't realized so much time had passed since I last blogged. I thought moving the office would allow me to have more of a chance to keep current on my blog.
I am now 33 weeks pregnant. Everything is going just fine. I have had two baby showers. They were such a blessing to receive some of the fun stuff I was not planning on buying. God has richly blessed us with free stuff from family. This stuff was the BIG stuff - car seat, crib, high chair, etc. I am always amazed at how God provides for us.
We received the full results on Jessica and they were not what I was expecting. I have spent the last couple of months trying to pinpoint what exactly is wrong. The state has labeled her learning disabled with low IQ. I have come to realize that is so general and does not help when trying to plan her education. I narrowed it down to a processing disorder with maybe some dsylexic. I started giving her Omega 3's and putting walnuts and flax seed in all of our baked goods. This seems to help with some of her reading problems. I know it is not a cure all but anything that will help a little is better than nothing in my book. I have been working on writing out goals for her this year. Maybe we will see improvement in her low areas now that I know what is wrong and can change my teaching style to fit her needs.
So often I wonder what happened that caused her to be this way. Was it the overdose of pain killers that the hospital gave me when I was in labor? Or was the stress of moving far away from family during my pregnancy? When these questions start running through my head I remind myself that God is ultimately in control and he has a plan and purpose for her.
