I'm having another baby
Yes I'm expecting 28th July 2011 so 8 weeks today yay very excited but a little apprehensive, as some of you know there's likely to be 50/50 chance that this baby will have the same problems as me and Paul and they can't rule out a more severe form either but hey, I knew the risks wouldn't stop me from having another and maybe I'm mad but I'd have 10 of Paul so lets just wait and see.
Got my scan date 5th January and I think I'll have more scans due to the risks but I'm hoping things go smoothly
Not quite sure how I'll cope with a newborn and Paul but, but I'm used to millions of appointments so doubling them won't phase me (hahaha I really must be mad)

Congratulations!! What wonderful news!! I know what you both mean, but with Lil being number 3 and the middle one also being diagnosed with long term illness this year I think my baby days are over...so will have to enjoy your online updates
I don't post on this board much, but congratulations on your pregnancy... Hope all is ok, how was your scan?
Sorry for being intrusive but what does Paul have?
My eldest has Aspergers and I went on to have 2 more children (twins)... I wouldn't be without Saul, he is amazing, albeit a little strange!!!

Paul's not got a diagnosis yet but it is very likely to be one of the very rare congenital myasthenia syndromes of which there are about 50 gene mutations although we are currently being tested for about 8 as they are so rare, each one is a risk of about one in a million how mad is that. It seems I have had the condition too since i was born but that was 30 odd years ago and mum and dad were never told it could have been a genetic condition so I had no idea i was affected, just thought i was dead lazy
anyway our Paul has severe hypotonia, muscle weakness, swallowing probs, some breathing probs etc etc loads loads loads but he is such a lovely little boy and I'd be cool if my next baby was just like him but hey who knows we'll have to wait and see
