Emma's Here!

It's been a crazy 4 days! On Tuesday, August 14th, we came to the hospital at about 6a and got admitted and all that good stuff. Surgery started at just about 0800 and Emma was here by 0834! She came out crying and the doctor even said "that's a cranky look"! Her platelet counts were low at 39k so she was admitted to NICU and given a platelet transfusion and an IVIG treatment. The next day her numbers were up to 144K, dropped again the next day to 126K (I think) and then up to 170K and today are 185K! It's been a little hard the past few days as I'm on the 2nd floor and she's on the 1st and so late nite feedings have been interesting and a little difficult to say the least. It will be so so nice to get her home and just have her in the next room! Will also be great to finally have her 'wireless'... We have quite a few doctor appointments coming up but she is doing great!

EEEK! E-day is tomorrow!

had our last doc appoitment and NST today... all went well, was good to finally meet the doctor doing the c-section :) All went well, nothing exciting, just talked about what's gonna happen tomorrow and about follow ups and testing and such. They say I should only be in for 3 days and am hoping that she'll only have to be in 3 days too. We'll find out soon enough! Have to be at the hospital at 6a and should get started around 8a!

yikes!

Well 10 days from today Emma will be here! I can't believe it!! Went in Monday for the non-stress test and she didn't quite pass so we had the 'checkup' ultrasound and all looked great. Then had a regular ultrasound yesterday. She's doing great! Between 5.5 and 6.1 lbs, a little bigger than average which is great since she'll be a preemie, a little extra weight will help her! And apparently she has 'a lot' of hair... hopefully it's all over her head and not mullet style :)
