Busy Day

April 23rd was a busy day with 2 doctors appointments. We saw Dr G., the perinatologist and Dr M., our regular OBGYN. Nothing new to report after the 2 appointments. Kinley is still doing well and growing as scheduled. Since we are mainly concerned with her lung development, we really do not expect to see many problems with her growth inside the womb since she doesn't need lungs to survive there. We just have to continue to hope that she is making enough lung tissue to sustain her after birth.

Speaking of Kinley's birth, we also had a tour of St Luke's on the Plaza today. Ashey, one of the nurses at St Luke's showed us where we should park when I am in labor and how to get to the labor and delivery area from the parking garage. She also showed us around the labor and delivery area as well as the NICU at St Luke's. We were able to see a few of the labor rooms and the recovery roms, but since I will be delivering in an operating room we were not able to see that. The labor and delivery area is not as new and nice as some of the newer hospitals near our house, but I was told by Ashley to remember that I am going to be at this hospital for the doctors and special equipment that they do have in order to provide the best care possible for Kinley, so that made me feel better.

On a brighter note, Kevin and I finally bought baby furniture for Kinley today. We placed the order for a crib, dresser, changing station, mirror, bookcase and glider with ottoman at Kids Rooms today. In order to take advantage of a sale that they had at Kids Rooms, the order will not actually be placed until May 1st, and from that date it could take anywhere between 6 to 12 weeks for the furniture to be delivered. I guess this is one good thing about Kinley having CDH, the furniture should still make it home before she does. We can't wait for Kinley to get to see her new furniture though. Hopefully she will like what we picked out for her.
