A Good Day in Dallas!

We met with Rylynn's cardiologist on Wednesday morning and the echo showed no signs of the hole closing anymore than it had. This is the best that we could have hoped for. This means that we got the go ahead to let little Rylynn stay in my tummy for as long as possible! We were thrilled that we would not have to head back up there next week for the birth. The bigger and stronger that we can let her grow, the better.
However, it sounds like she will be coming into the world with quite a splash. Because of the size of the little hole, she will be whisked away by a rather large team of doctors and taken directly to the cath lab for her first procedure. Picture this... security guards actually clearing corridors, a dozen doctors wheeling her through and Gilly following behind to be as close to her as possible! Sounds like we've got a little diva on our hands already!
After meeting with our MFM, we have scheduled the C-Section for Cinco de Mayo!! We have teased all along that we had hoped to have her on May 5th and now it looks like we may actually! Gilly's already planning her first Bday party filled with pinatas, sombreros and many more extreme ideas!! I will travel back to Dallas for two more appointments in the next four weeks, but if there are no changes we are hoping to meet our little girl on the 5th of May (39 weeks)! She is already 6lbs and the sonogram shows her to be growing perfectly!
We are looking forward to spending Easter with our families together this weekend to celebrate our bit of good news! Thank you all for the prayers that you have sent up. God has blessed us with a small victory and we feel a sense of happiness. Please continue to pray for us.
With love...
