[NOTE: I apologize for any typos in this post. I am attempting to use the Blogger app on my iPad for the first time, and I am not all that proficient at typing on this thing. Which means, of course, that any typos in all prior posts - which were typed on my laptop - are completely unacceptable.]
I had planned for the point of this post to be to share the date for the C-section, but we unfortunately did not schedule it at today's ob-gyn appointment like I had hoped. According to Erin, the physician's assistant, the doctors' schedule for mid-May is still not out. While they could go ahead and set the appointment, Dr. H (my ob-gyn) wants to try to make sure he is the one performing the C-section (which is what I want, too!), which means we have to wait for the schedule. C'est la vie ... good thing we are getting used to waiting! ;)
Other tidbits from today's appointment:
(It was a struggle, but I finally got the video to upload! Please pardon the appearance of my finger on the right side of the screen. Steven Spielberg, I am not.)
The mini ultrasound showed that Claire is getting really good at practicing her breathing, which is definitely good news as the ability to breath unassisted will be one of the key components to getting her home.
This next bit is completely unrelated to medical issues, but I wanted to say a huge thank you to my friends, Lexi and Kris, for the shower they threw me last Saturday. Everything was perfect, from the company, to the adorable decorations, to the food (especially the bacon strip skewers!). I am very lucky to have such good friends, and Claire is very lucky as she is going to start out her life as the owner of a pretty awesome collection of books. Here are some pics from the party:
Finally, congratulations to our neighbors and close friends, Megan and Richard, who welcomed Claire's future BFF into the world Monday morning!!

Other tidbits from today's appointment:
- Dr. H reviewed last week's ultrasound and, as he put it, "everything looks good."
- As I stated in an earlier post, my platelets had been low, so they wanted to retest them. Fortunately, they are much higher this time around, so we can strike that off the list of things that we need to keep track of.
- My next regular appointment will be in two weeks (April 23rd), and then every week after that ... not that there are all that many weeks left to go!
- Dr. H wants at least one more "full" ultrasound - as opposed to the mini ultrasounds I get at the non-stress tests - so we scheduled one for April 30th.
