Now Danielle is much different. When I found out I was pregnant with her I cried. After Nicole was born Rick and had decided that we were not going to have another child until she was five. I did not know how we were going to be able to afford it. And then I cried because I felt guilty. Once I got used to the idea of having another child things were okay. At around 5 months I started to have back pain and nothing worked so I was put on pain meds for it. The following morning my husband woke up to me having a seizure. To make a long story short the med I was taking lowers the threshold for having seizures if you have a history of it. Which we found out later I do. Anyways after Danielle was born she was the total opposite of Nicole. She was a very calm baby. She started sleeping through the night when she was 2 weeks old, she never wanted to be held, she was scared of deep voices, and stiffened to touch a lot. As she got older we found out that Danielle had Asperger's which is a form of Autism. Danielle has been a challenge but a pleasure for us. She struggles in daily living skills and social skills but is very intelligent and surprises us every day. She is in 2nd grade this year and right now she is reading between the 7 and 8th grade reading level. She does struggle with articulation skills as well and that is something that the school is working on as well for next year. Danielle has taught me patience and she herself has learned to cope. When she asks if there is something wrong with her we tell her that everyone struggles with something in their life and whatever area they struggle in they just have to work harder at. But there is nothing wrong with her.
