{blessed}

Thank you for all your kind words and wisdom about "the 'A' word." We've not yet come to a decision, but hearing your stories and experiences has helped a lot.

Last night I snapped some pics of the boys after dinner that ended up being super cute. I cannot imagine what it is like to be a twin but I am constantly amazed by how much my boys love each other. I am so blessed!

The Lesters said...: Just wanted to give you hope. The fact that your boys love on each other so much means that they probably don't have autism. One of the hallmarks of autism is lack of social interaction. Unfortunately I've never seen my twins love on each other like that. Love those pictures. You are so blessed.; April 27, 2010 at 10:19 PM

As for the "A" question. With my paraprofessional's hat on: There is nothing now that would be different if "A" was written on a document somewhere. I wouldn't start until they were 9 months before going to kindergarten. School age is when it could make a difference in services. If "A" does show up in the future, it would be more likely to be PDD. And, there are a lot of adults that are just a little off socially who would fit the PDD model.

Now for my 'mom' hat: I can't believe how sweet they are in pictures. I could just eat them up and play with them all day. You are so lucky to have TWO great boys.; April 29, 2010 at 4:25 PM

The story of how the tader tots came to be

When I started this blog, I originally thought it was going to be a taderbaby...we chose the nickname after the delicious spuds served at Young's Jersey Dairy...but quickly found out it was tader tots! At 28 weeks gestation my placenta started abrupting and I was briefly hospitalized, then put on strict bedrest. At 31w 4d I was let up for an hour a day. At 32w on the dot, I was re-admitted for bleeding and began a four day fight to stop labor which I lost on 2.15.07 when Jack's placenta abrupted fully. If I hadn't been at the hospital, we wouldn't have made it. Upon birth, Jack's apgar was 3. The boys spent 4 weeks in NICU and this is their story, and mine.
