According to regulation (I forget the AR offhand) you have 6 months from your child's DOB before you have to take a record APFT. Aside from getting a record APFT on file, and without knowing any other details of your situation, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be allowed to reenlist.

AR 601-280
e. Medical and Physical Fitness.
(1) Soldiers must meet the medical retention standards of chapter 3, AR 40-501, or have been found physically qualified to perform in his or her PMOS per AR 635-40. Soldiers who have been found qualified for retention by a Physical Evaluation Board will not be denied reenlistment under this provision. Soldiers pending MMRB action per AR 600-60 will not be reenlisted until the MMRB action has been finalized; however, they may be extended for the minimum time necessary to complete the MMRB action.
(2) Soldiers must have passed their most recent Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), within the nine-month period prior to date of reenlistment.
(a) Soldiers with permanent physical profiles which prevent taking the APFT are exempt from the requirements of (2) above.
(b) Soldiers with temporary physical profiles (profile can not exceed 12 months per AR 40-501) which preclude administration of an APFT, but who have passed an APFT within the preceding 9 months to the date of awarding of the profile, are eligible for reenlistment.
(c) Soldiers with temporary physical profiles who are not qualified for reenlistment under (b) above may be extended for not more than 7 months to allow removal of the profile and administration of an APFT. Extensions beyond 7 months must be approved by the GCMCA or first general officer in the soldier’s normal chain of command, whichever is in the most direct line to the soldier.
(d) Soldiers who do not meet the qualifications of (2) (a), (b), or (c) above, and are unable to be administered an APFT through no fault of their own, may be granted waivers by the GCMCA or the first general officer in their chain of command.

Your question should be directed to your unit Re-enlistment NCO, a lot depends on favorable work reports, because with the force reductions it comes down to work performance (NCOER).
