Still Don't know Where i'm delivering

So I had my appt. with my regular OB this morning. I now have to do non-stress tests weekly to make sure the baby's heart is functioning properly. So we did that this morning. She got the hiccups so it messed up the test a little I guess but as far as everything went it looked okay. I had also gained a lot of weight this month. I was a little shocked. 6 lbs. I guess I was making up for weight I hadn't gained yet.
The doc had just gotten the memo this morning about Alberts wanting us to go to Medical City. He was trying to talk to his office this morning to see if we could perhaps go to Plano Presbyterian, which is where Alberts is, because Cruetzmann (the OB) can deliver there. While PP does not have as high of level nursery as MC, PP does have a very high level nursury, much higher than Trinity. So we will see if that can happen. That would be much better because we would not have to find a new doctor. So please pray this will work out if it is the best thing.
We will meet with our doula again sometime this week as well to talk about our birth plan and what has been going on. Lots of meetings and appointments the next few weeks.
***Well, maybe I shouldn't hope for Pres. Plano. Apparently they don't allow doulas there. They also have the 2nd highest c-section rate in the DFW metroplex. Great!

It would be nice to know where to tell Aaron to drive as you are having contractions. :) Glad you have started work on the nursery, I loved fixing up Cooper's room before he was born. I think the racoons are cool and very unique, any other colors/theme's? Still praying that all goes well.

Holly-
I hope that everything works out that you can have your doctor to deliver Maddy. Have you thought about Medical Center of Plano? They have an excellent NICU and if your doctor can deliver there that would awesome. I say they have an excellent NICU because my sister's friend delivered her baby there at 25 weeks... she's now a happy and healthy 2 year old. She was in the NICU for 4 months before they brought her home but the hospital was wonderful to them. Just a thought. Prayin that it all works out. Love ya! Alyson

Wow, here I thought things were settling down but you still have a lot of stuff up in the air to worry about. I hope everything works out and you can know what to expect (as far as hospitals, doctors, etc.)soon.

I don't know if it is much encouragement but I have always heard very good things about Medical City. I know it's not close to home but as far as being a good hospital, it has a good reputation with a few folks I know. So at least if you have to switch doctors and be inconvenienced, you are getting swtiched to a decent hospital. I know its not much comfort but just thought I'd throw that in there!

P.S. Medical City is where they did the surgery on the siamese twins joined at the head from Egypt a few years ago...so surely they can take good care of you during your delivery if you end up having to go there!

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Geneticist

We went to see the genetic counselor this morning at 10. What we found out was hopeful for now, although we'll have to continue watching to see how thing develop. She said from what the doctors had communicated to her and from the initial results of the fish test (test for the chromosomal defects) and because I have been feeling the baby move every day, right now she thinks the baby may have a condition called Amyoplasia Congenita. This is a condition where the baby develops normally except for the hands and feet which can be corrected through orthopedic treatment, at least to some extent. People with this condition can live normal lives. This is obviously the best news we've had all week and much better than where we were a week ago. However, this isn't a diagnosis. We still need to watch the baby's development and also get the complete results from the chromosomal testing. BUT we are so thankful that today we have good news and something to hope for. For those (like m...

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...
