Halloween Costumes

I've been meaning to post these for a bit. Aly was Jesse and Emily was Bullseye from Toy Story. Trying to get a picture of them holding still is a hard task.

Temple Grandin

Troy and I got Grandma Brenda to watch the girls so we could go see and hear Temple Grandin. She is such an amazing woman. An inspiration to all. If you have no idea who she is...You should google her and learn about her. Nextflix has a movie about her growing up, Temple Grandin. It was such an amazing experience to have this chance to go see her, hear her talk and even get to meet her and hearing her tip on Aly and speech therapy. She is a hero in our household.

After Yesterday....

After seeing our little boy yesterday, we have settled on a name. Christian Alexander Campos. I am really loving how it just flows. He is measuring in at 7 1/2 inches and 3/4 lb. We are able to start feeling him move a little more. It is hard to believe that we are already at the half way point. This is when I start thinking of everything that we need to decide on and get done. So let's get to it.

I know.....

I can just hear you know. "Gosh Becky! You have gotten terrible at updating your blog." No worries. I keep our "private" blog updated. But here is a quick post. On Friday we found out baby #3 is a.... BOY!!! I looked online at BabiesRUs last night. They are having their trade-in and today is the last day! 25% off! Usually it is only 10-15% off. So we decided what to trade in and Aly and I will go pick out a new car seat for Emily while she is napping and Troy works on the Explorer. He is thinking it is the fuel pump. So there is a small update. Need to get Aly dressed so we can go get the car seat when Daddy gets home.

And She Is....

Just as Troy and I already thought, Aly was diagnosed mildly-moderately autistic. The number one question we have been getting is, "what happens now?" or "what is the next step?" There isn't a next step. We continue doing what we have been doing. Speech and occupational therapy and our little family group class. This is just a label. It doesn't define who she is and what she will do or become in life. She has alot of potential and can do anything she wants to do. Want an example? Read about Temple Grandin. Amazing woman that has done so much and has autism.

Today Is The Day

Today Aly goes in for her formal testing to see where she is on the Autism Spectrum. From the "take-home-tests" the psychologist gave us, we are thinking Aly is around mildly-moderately autistic. We will see what the professionals have to say. Troy took the day off to stay home with Emily since she can't be there. So, we will see what this day has to offer us.

I know. I am more busy writing on my personal blog than I am here. I will try to be better. I am 9 weeks and 2 days along. Yesterday was the first time I actually had to hurry to the toilet. I am hoping it was a one time fling, but you know how these things work. You never know when you have to run and hunch over it. So I am remembering that I need to make sure I know where the nearest restroom or trash can is where ever I go. I still feel nausous most of the day, but it isn't that bad if I am sipping water all day. I have been having bad tummy cramps, but thats to be expected. We might find out what we are having at our next appointment. YAY! But I am thinking of doing a gender party. That would be an exciting way to find out, right? Right! So we will see. I still have a few weeks to decide Troy says he doesn't care. I told him if he finds out, he can't tell me or I will be mad at him forever. Nah. I can't be mad at his handsome mug! Aly has therapy today and her evaluation is tomorrow. So much fun! I need to go lay down. I'm starting to feel really sick and light headed.
