I'm at 27 weeks now , and Miami told me that I didn't have to see my specialist anymore, but to see my regular OB; however, my OB can not deliever in Miami, and has really had only 2 patients with CDH, which he's sent to specialist, so everytime I see him he really doesn't do much, he'll just ask questions about how everything is going , and he'll listen to the heart beat, and do all like the regular pregnancy tests like glucose testing and such... needless to say The Doc and I both thought that ...

I so wish I could participate April 19th in the parade ... unfortunately, and fortunately Gavin , and I are going to go under tracheal occlusion surgery! so we'll be in the hospital on bed rest sending our love, and pride to all of our other CDH family, and friends!!!! XO

Okay so this is the calm before the storm!! Tomorrow Chris, and I go to miami to visit Gavins surgeon. April 10th I have my glucose testing, April 14th my baby shower, the 16th we're going to Miami again to see if everything is okay , and ready for surgery, April 18th is my inuterual surgery, and then bed rest for 10 weeks until baby Gavin is strong enough to meet the world!!! Kind of getting a little anxious, because it's literally right around the corner... I really pray that the surgery goes ...

What a crazy day...woke up at 430 am to be in miami at 6... had to go on mild anesthesia (twilight) at miami today to do a M.R.I on baby Gavin... ugh first time got sick twice... it was just a horrible experience, but good news is 1 down 1 more surgery to go!!!... Love you baby boy, mommas doing whatever it takes for you!

okay so I was fully aware of what a M.R.I was, but I was not aware that I would have to be put under, so that Gavin would be udner as well... a little nervous, but everytime I think about him, and his well being I am up for anything that could make him feel better and/or be better. Just please keep us in your thoughts this Monday... it's going to be a first for mommy, and a first for baby Gavin... at least we're experiencing this together!
