34 Week Visit to McMaster
We had our appointment at McMaster this morning. We were informed that the baby now weighs almost 5 pounds which we are very happy about. He has also moved into the head down position so as long as he just stays in that position I can be happy about that. The doctor felt that the measurements and the ultrasound overall looked good. So we finally got some good news today anyway.
We go back to Mt. Sinai on June 1st. I wanted to schedule a tour of the delivery area of the hospital on that same day but it appears they are all booked up pretty much until after I will deliver. I am hoping they will make an exception because it would be nice to have some idea of where we will go and what will happen before the actual delivery. As if the situation itself won't be stressful enough!
I am officially starting Maternity Leave at the end of next week. This will give me some time to rest (wishful thinking probably) and get the baby's room ready and also spend some time with Maddison and the rest of our family.
I also wanted to let the other CHD moms/families know that I am thinking of them and hoping that their babies are doing well and for those that are about to deliver soon, that their deliveries go well and their babies are born big and strong! I know for us, the closer it is getting to the due date the more stressful and "real" this all seems so try to stay positive and hang in there.

Hi Cheryl,
Glad to hear that you and baby are holding up well.
I have a Mt. Sinai appt. on June 1st as well, so we may bump into each other. I've been scheduled for a 2pm appt. with Dr. Seaward. To this day, i have not met Dr. Ryan who is supposed to be my OB at Sinai, but i think i've met with just about all the other doctors that work with him. Lately, I've been meeting with Dr. Seaward.
Cheryl, it's now down to 5 days till delivery and my God is it nerve racking, but like you said, staying postitive and hanging in there is what we're both trying to do very hard. My parents are retired, so they've been around me alot and that's helped.
If I don't hear from you before delivery, i'm pretty sure we'll get a chance to meet each other at Sick Kids. Good Luck and keep those positive thoughts going! You and baby are in our thoughts and prayers always!
Nel
