Just another rainy day....

I suppose I will back track a bit, and start with yesterday. I had my second appointment with Dr. Balaskas, the Maternal-Fetal Specialist. My blood pressure was 91/52 (I think that was what she said), baby girls heartbeat was 151 bpm, and she still looks great! The better news, is that there is no change to my cervix. I am still not dilating yet, and that is exactly what we want to hear. While things are going great, he wants to see me again in 2 weeks which of course has me wondering, what is he not telling me.... I have to assume though that really it boils down to the fact that it was during this time frame (I am 24 1/2 weeks) that things started to drastically change with all of my kids. Jonathan I was 2 cm dilated from 25 weeks to his birth, and same went for Evan. Mandie was the only one that I was not dilated at that point, so we are hoping that this pregnancy goes like Mandie's.

As for today, it is indeed another rainy Saturday. We were hoping to go to the Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Day, but with it raining off and on, and me being sick, we aren't all that excited to run out and go play outside in the rain. So, instead we have decided to go do a little shopping for a new desk for Jon, and a new bookshelf for my PTA/School things. We are hoping that this will add some organization to our life. I guess we shall see.

Currently we are on the hunt for a vehicle that will hold our soon to be newest member of the family. Our blazer is just not big enough for our family of 6. So, if you know of a good deal on a van, please let me know!! LOL

For now, I shall say nap time, I need to rest.

Praise the Heavens!!

The end is near!  So she has been infection/bacteria clear now for 7 full days, today is day 8 (and I was told the labs came back already for today and she is clear!! LOL)  So joyous dance for that, but then Laurie, Dr. Foody's PA came in and asked how things were going, and I said fine, and of course asked when surgery will be.... She said she will try for Friday or Monday. I began to get excited!  Then a few minutes later Dr. Foody himself came in and looked at her and saw that she was not leaking, and super smiley... He then says, he is going to talk to the infectious diseases doctor and see if we can do the surgery TOMORROW!  Oh my word can this get any better?! So, the doctors round at the room and we are talking about her weight loss, her Hudini magic tricks, her smiles etc.  Her proteins are well, iron still a little low, but not worrisome.  Then they tell me she is going to be NPO at midnight, I ask why and they say surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am! Yes we are finally goi

I never thought today would have come....

Today was supposed to be a normal Tuesday.  I would work until 11 am, then come home for a quick pump & feed (what I call it when I have to pump one side while feeding Willow at the same time!!) and then off to her 4 month check up.  Well all of that went off without too much of a hitch.  Willow is now 25" long, and 13lbs 3 oz.! Her head circumference though was 46 cm.  At her 2 month check up it was only 40.4 cm. and according to my ped. the way she read the MRI report there was no actual blockage to cause any more head growth.... So what happened?? Well we are not sure, but her head grew.   So, while visiting a friend after the appointment I get a call from my pediatrician telling me to go to the ER where we will be able to get an MRI done immediately and get the attention of the neurosurgeon quicker..... So off I go in a panic (I do remember looking at the pedometers and seeing it read at 80+ mph) not smart I know but I was freaking out!! We got here around 2 pm, and then

What a day

Well, it started off okay, got up in plenty of time to get myself to work. Even grabbed a coffee with Jon before leaving the hospital!  (it's the little things right?!)  Did my job quite well today, I really felt like I was back to work and things were going okay.  For those 3 hours I knew where Willow was at, but really there was nothing for me to worry about because for starters daddy was with her, and I also knew that nothing was going on today. It is another waiting day to see what happens. So I work until 11 am, and call Jon only to find out his morning with Willow was not so precious... She pulled out her IV (that they had just put in this morning seeing as the one in her foot exploded), and that no matter how Jon tried to feed her she was not a happy camper.  So I ran home really quick to find Jon had forgotten to give Jonathan his medicine, so I run to the school give him meds, grab lunch, and rush back to the hospital.  Sure enough she was one grumpy girl!  She was able
