Everything is pretty much resolved now as far as my son's appointment is concerned. We're all going to San Antonio, even the baby. If for some reason his doctor says he's not fit to travel then DH will take my son alone and I'll stay home with the baby. I spoke to my son's Peditrician yesterday and he said that has long as the baby and I are in good health it's okay to make the trip, even at 12 days old. I feel alot better now. I'm getting really anxious, 6 weeks seems so far away. Anyways, I have something I want to get off my chest. I'm getting really annoyed with one of the members, I dont know if it's just raging hormones but it's really getting on my nerves. I am constantly getting emails from someone to read thier journal....like everyday. Okay yes, DS is to get and give support to others and that's all great, I love being able to support others, but sometimes You just cant respond to each and every person on your friends list. I do have a life you know. Between taking care of my Autistic son and myself, and getting to all our appointments and running errands, I barely get a nap in during the day. It really annoys me when I get the same emails everyday...read my journal, comment on my new journal, hey I put up new pictures, hey I put up a new video journal come watch me......hello can you say presonality disorder!!!!!I write in my jounal when I can but I dont go bothering people to come read it, if I get comments that great but really my journal is more for me to put my thoughts and feelings out there and that's it. DS already sends out notices every time someone posts something. Sorry I just needed to vent. I probabally seem like a horrible person for saying all this, but really can you blame me?

That really annoys me too. If I were you I would send a message to all of your friends saying something along the lines of of what you said in your journal. That you read all of your friends journals when you are able to get around to it but you do not appreciate getting messages say \"read my journal, look at my video, I posted pictures, etc.\" I think everybody will understand.
I totally understand your feelings. I don\'t know if you notice or not, but I rarely respond to others journals, but I do read them when I get the notice. I care about everyone and want to do what I can, but I also am unable to be as attentive as some others are. If this person is really bothering you, I would remove them from your friend list. I hope you have a good day and that everything is going well with your son and pregnancy.
Love and Laugh,

I am glad to hear that you got the trip straightened out.
I am glad things got straightened out, the less stress for you, the better! I feel your frustration about the other DS member and I get the same e-mails.
