The Open Book of an ASD Mom

I cannot believe it...my itty bitty baby girl is 5 months old already and not so itty bitty!!! She is changing so much every day and doing so many great things!!! She is the happiest baby and is such a joy in our lives. She just adores her big brother and her Daddy is the light in her eyes. Daddy and big brother are just so in love with our precious girl!!! And well I'm Mom...everyone knows how much I love and adore my kids...they are my entire world...I get out of bed each day just for them; even when I'm so exhausted it seems like my eyes won't open!!!

Dakota Lynn Dimmick is HERE!!!!! Steph called me about 11pm Sat nite telling me she was in labor and headed to the hospital. I got to the hospital sometime around midnight and under 5 hours later she was here!!!! I felt so honored and so grateful that I got the opportunity to watch yet another beautiful little girl come into this world. Watching my God-Daughter Phoebe born almost 3 years ago was amazing and being able to watch Dakota was just as amazing!!! Watching a perfect little life come into this world...there are no words and I could watch it over and over again!!! I love being a labor coach and being apart of such a huge life changing moment!!!

She was born at 4:47am on July 27, 2008. 6 lbs 7 oz and 19 inches Pictures below!!! :-) and More pictures to follow as soon as I get a chance to upload the ones from ...

Tonight we took our first official trip to the ER with Matty. He has been in the ER twice before with fevers that didn't break but other than that we have been very lucky. In five years the kid has been pretty healthy and has avoided major injury. (PICS BELOW ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE, A COUPLE ARE GRAPHIC SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TUMMY FOR THE PICS I SUGGEST TO READ THE STORY BUT NOT LOOK AT PHOTOS) lol Tonight changed that lucky streak!!! After multiple warnings from me Matty was told to NOT play with his soccer ball in the house. And like your typical five year old boy he failed to listen to all the warnings he was given!! So as I'm about to get up and start making him dinner I hear a loud crash of glass shattering coming from his bedroom. I take off for his room only to think that he put something through his bedroom window or something from outside came thru the window. Matty starts crying and holding his head and when I get to his room I see his light fixture in a mi...
