TULSA, OK -- A Tulsa mom will have to wait until May to find out what punishment she faces for her baby's drowning death.

Krysta Dawson pleaded no contest Monday to second degree manslaughter and child neglect. 

Dawson told police she left nine-month-old James alone in the bathtub with his two-year-old brother while she did the dishes. It happened in November 2009.
