Growing boy!

Yesterday Benjamin went to the Dr and he weighed a whopping 10lbs 5oz and 22.25 inches long! It's always hard to chose what pics to post :) Today I have Benjamin just chilling on the couch with me probably doing laundry or waiting for a bus. There is also a pic of him enjoying the papasan seat that my friend Stacy let me borrow (Thanks Stacy). Of course if you wrap him up in his swaddle me blanket he will be quite content, great gift for that new mom if you have one to shop for!! Finally there is a pic of Todd enjoying incorporating Ben into his life, for a great jog! Of course Benjamin is a tad small for it but he just did an easy jog so no harm to our precious boy! Not much else to say as I am pretty tired :(
Non kid news is I went to court again Monday and of course no resolution. As you can imagine it's getting pretty tough on me to have this unresolved. Yeah I get my current settlement still followed, but I feel like I can't plan for my future. I am getting wierd dreams which are making it even tougher to get sleep. A hearing has been set for May 9th at 11AM, I am told that this is the last time it will be postponed. I have a month to dread testifying and to practice positive thinking LOL If you could keep me in your thoughts and pray that whatever happens is the best for the kids that would comfort me :) One thing that came from this court appearance was my lawyer telling me that I will be asked to describe life with an autistic child. She wanted me to tell the judge what is different from parenting him verses a typical child as to show the real need for me to stay with Matthew. I actually stopped in my mind and tried to think what IS my life like to parent Matthew. Well, hard of course but parenting any child gets tough at times. Matthew is just Matthew and I couldn't actually think of things off the top of my head. I had to really think ok, typical verses atypical. I'm glad I got the time to think of what I would say. And with having Benjamin seems like some autistic traits have surfaced but yet I stil think of Matthew as Matthew my mysterious boy not my autistic son, kinda a relief at teh same time even though if I was asked that on the stand I would have been unclear to the judge.
Enjoy the pics! Next time I have some real sweet pics of Maria and Benjamin to share :) Matthew has yet to hold Benjamin :( But he is closing in and I think he will so it soon...this scrapbooking momma hopes so anyway.
