#3 baby!

Hello ladies! I am 26 years old and 11 weeks 1 day pregnant with my third child. I have an 8 year old daughter and two year old son who is autistic. This pregnancy was an “oops” and all I’ve been doing is stressing. I have my ultrasound and genetic testing next week and then will find out the sex a week later. I really want another girl and pretty terrified if I’m told I’m having a boy. Studies have shown that after having a child who is autistic if you have another child and it is a boy chances are higher that the child will have autism as well. I’ve been married for 3 years and let’s face it, it hasn’t been a fairytale. My husband is in denial about our son and makes life harder for me. Anyone else have a child who’s autistic or more than one? Hope to meet some amazing moms!
