Congrats on #2!
May I ask what happened with the first pregnancy?
The twinges down low are normal - I'm having them as well. Apparently it's the uterus stretching and enlarging
My DD was born with C-ACC. Complete Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum. Basically, my DD is missing the middle part of her brain that connects both hemispheres. Its kind of like a highway for the neurons to go back and forth and since she doesn't have that, they need to make their own paths. She is 6 now and is learning to sit up and stand with help. She was also born deaf but got the cochlear implant a year ago. Still not talking but I know she is listening and that means a lot to me. I found out something was wrong when I was about 5 months along. I found out it was a girl and then they rushed me to see a Maternal Fetal Specialist who then told me to abort right away and that the 'fetus' would never make it. Everyone has their own opinion but I couldn't at that time, end her life. I felt that if I wasn't supposed to have her, that God would take her away. She was kicking so much so I knew she was a fighter. It's a decision that I am happy we made because she is always so happy and smiling! She really is a blessing and she does so much when she is around other kids so I'm very happy to (hopefully) give her a sibling.
