Mixed Feelings

So Bo had CQ again today. It seems like he just had it. I really hate it that the MPs are so immature that they basically have to have a babysitter every night. What happened to demoting for poor behavior? Or even, now that they have "too many people in the military" just fire them! If they think going out and getting drunk and then sneaking women in their trunks onto post is a good idea, then they need a good reality check! Not making my husband stay 24 hours to babysit some morons who are old enough to know better!

Though...I suppose it is better than deployment.

Anyway, tomorrow is the day we find out if we are going to have a baby this week. I have total mixed feelings about the situation. I think it is a good idea for them to deliver her because the longer she stays in the more likely she is to develop cerebral palsy, but then on the other hand, the longer she stays in the more likely she is to develop her insides.

And just in case you didn't know (I didn't until I did research recently) what cerebral palsy is, here is the run down:

"Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder that affects muscle tone, movement, and motor skills (the ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way). Cerebral palsy can also lead to other health issues, including vision, hearing, and speech problems, and learning disabilities. CP is usually caused by brain damage that occurs before or during a child's birth, or during the first 3 to 5 years of a child's life. There is no cure for CP, but treatment, therapy, special equipment, and, in some cases, surgery can help a child who is living with the condition." - www.kidshealth.org

Cerebral palsy is a life long condition, and the developments can occur outside the womb in the NICU, but who knows how long that will be and if that is even the healthier choice. Unfortunately, we won't know either way until it happens. It is so stressful.

Ugh.
