[quote=Anonymous]Seconding Dr. Rosenbaum. He is wonderful. And Easter Seals Daycare in the District. They will know what to do and have therapists on staff. Also seconding the waiver. If you live in the District, great news- there is no waitlist and the coverage is incredible! If you give birth out in VA or MD and your baby has an extended NICU stay they can't cover treatment until the baby arrives in the District.

Also seconding enjoy your baby. It was the best advice I got and I took it to heart. I grieved of course but I'm so glad I enjoyed it too.

Talking to most OBs and geneticists (except Rosenbaum) probably won't give you the most balanced info. They tend to paint the worst case scenario and scare the crap out of new parents. Find a support board on babycenter.com that matches what your child might have. They will be there for you and can give you a more realistic picture.

Also, it hurts now but don't assume this will wreck your life. It didn't wreck mine and I look at people like they have two heads when they think my life is so difficult. Yes it is more work but worth it to me. [/quote]
