Ok I finally got Tylee to bed and I didn't fall asleep with her so I will try to update a little! Rylee seems to be looking great according to the ultrasounds. The last one we had was Oct 6th.. She was 6lbs 6oz at the time! Very active and the nurse said she was "practice breathing" we saw her little lungs moving, the nurse said this was a great sign of them being developed and strong! I am ready to have her here for sure! But yet I am a little nervous too. Just with having to be in a hospital again and everything. I go see the OB on Tuesday, I was dilated 1 cm this last week, but I have been having contractions the last 2 days, nothing serious or really consistent, but quite a few. Then friday I go see a Pulmonary specialist, the OB wants to have some tests done to make sure there are no residual effects from the ARDS. He wants some assurance that I can handle the labor. I guess I should say we just got a new OB, the one I had seen before going to Utah was who we saw once I got back here also, but he just didn't give Cory or I the confidence we were looking for. He wanted to treat us like a regular pregnancy, and wouldn't even look over the medical information I brought back with me. So we were scared that if something did happen he would not be informed on the whole situation. Cory's work referred us to the Cleveland Clinic and to Dr. Saleh. Who is great! I have had such a peaceful feeling with him (Cory as well) He is experienced and a high risk preg doc. He sat with us and went over what I had gone through and he cared. He kept telling me how lucky I was to be here. He had had similar situations where the outcome was not as well. He feels like things will go great, that I am healthy and this should be a "boring" next few weeks, but at the same time he wants to make sure we are in the right place and have all the tools we may need if there are a few hiccups. So we will be going to a hospital that is a little further away but it will be worth it! Also he is requesting a neo natal specialist to be available when Rylee is born, so that she can have a full exam, and make sure she is ok. I just really like him, it makes the whole scarey situation not so bad! Anyways we have 2.5 weeks left and are so excited to meet our special little girl! She sure is a strong one and we are so grateful for that! I have a few pics from our 3d/4d ultrasound we did last month. Hope you enjoy!
