1 more week

The count down begins, only 1 more week until Savannah is here for sure. I am so excited but scared because I know she is safe inside my belly. If I could keep her in there I would but I got to be honest it hurts so bad. Not a day goes by that atleast 2-3 people ask me "how many babies are you having" when I answer they are shocked and must think I eat like a pig. My fluid levels are going up but for me this is nothing compared to what my little girlis going to have to face.

My sister flew in today with my niece Kaylynn from Mississippi and they are staying until after Savannah's birth. I am overjoyed to see them, it's great to have family by my side. I have to admit that this situation has brought some great people closer in my life. Words can't explain how thankful I am for all the help and prayers we have recieved.

THANK YOU

Update

Yesterday I went for my follow-up with Dr.Richards. I have been praying for some good news but the Doctor said her condition is still pretty scary, not much lung development and everything seems to be taking up Savannah's chest space. My fluid levels have increased to 44 compared to 27 before and the normal is 5-25.That must explain all the pain in my ribs. Although I am scared of being on this roller coaster it seems that the time is almost here and the real battle is about to begin. I am scheduled for a c-section on Aug. 30th but everyone seems to think I will go before that, I have my doubts as well. I thought I could handle Trey being here with me until Savannah was born but it's definitely been challenging. I am confused on how to prepare myself for whats about to happen simply because I don't know whats going to happen. Another challenging situation I have been experiencing walking around the baby section at the store and looking at little headbands, socks, or blankets. I hate to be selfish and ask God to let Savannah survive when so many other parents have dealt with the loss of their baby to CDH, angels who have grown their wings. I guess I should just be grateful that there are so many who are here for me and praying for Savannah.
