The Final Countdown!Since it's now after midnight, I'm officially 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Officially "full term" with only 15 days until my due date. Wow! I'm trying to get everything all ready for Rhett's arrival, and am slowly checking things off my list. (If you know me at all, you know I have an actual list with check marks on it... and it feels <em>soooo</em> good.) :) I had Knox at 39 weeks and 5 days, so I still probably have some time before Rhett gets here, but it's still fun to wonder when I wake up every morning, "is this the day??" <br />
<br />
My weekly doctor's appointments have been going well! Rhett hasn't had any more episodes of SVT since my last hospital stay in June! Praying he continues to be SVT free. We found out that he will definitely have to be admitted to the NICU after he's born for 48 hours of observation on the monitors and so they can start him on his oral med to keep the SVT in check. I'm disappointed about the NICU stay, but ultimately thankful that it's only for monitoring and not because they're concerned about his health. I've also been a busy little bee the last few weeks talking with all the different departments involved in his care (NICU doctors and NICU directors, OB, Fetal Cardiologist, and Labor and Delivery director) to make sure that Logan and I get to hold Rhett after he's born, and I get to do skin to skin time and nurse him. Typically NICU admits are whisked away immediately after they're born, and the parents have to wait a while before seeing them. This was not okay with me. So after a few weeks of coordinating with everyone, I got a phone call this week confirming that we are all on the same page, and as long as Rhett is stable when he's born, Logan and I can have our initial bonding time with him. Yay for answered prayers!! <br />
<br />
And now for the bump pictures!<br />

I'm still going for my weekly fetal cardiology and perinatologist appointments for sonograms to check on the little guy, and so far so good! We haven't heard any SVT since my last hospital admission mid-June, so that's been a huge blessing. At 29 weeks, he was already measuring 3 lbs 2 ounces, so he seems to be growing just fine! I think Logan and I are also getting very close to nailing down a name for this one, FINALLY!! But I'll save that for another post when we're 100% decided. :) Now for the pictures...<br />

I don't want him just propped in front of the TV all the time, and I didn't want to spend a fortune on <em>more</em> toys with lights and sounds (that annoy me) and do the "imagining" for him. So I did some research and kept finding articles about Sensory Play for toddlers. Basically, the reason toddlers are always getting into things is because everything is a new experience for them, and their "exploring" and getting into things is how they learn. So sensory play provides lots of colors and textures and activities that safely let them explore how things work. The problem I'd had with sensory play in the past was that all of the activities seemed messy - like having your child "clean" your cabinets with foam - and that just doesn't work for me. Doesn't sound like much fun for me to have to clean up a giant mess afterwards. So I found some sensory activities that are "Lorin Approved" (read: clean <em>and</em> fun!). <br />

Since I was discharged from the hospital, I've had weekly sonograms and fetal echoes with either Dr. Weiss or Amit, and so far so good! The baby looks perfect and appears to be staying out of SVT! (I haven't heard any SVT with my home doppler, either.) So it looks like this combo of meds is working for him. Hooray!! At my appointment yesterday, Dr. Weiss said the baby is weighing in at 2 pounds 5 ounces. Already a big boy!<br />
<br />
I still have to take my nausea medicine every morning with that first dose of Digoxin, otherwise I lose my breakfast. Still feeling tired and occasionally dizzy, but overall I can't complain. I'm so very happy to be able to be at home and not in the hospital! <br />
<br />

He loved it! He was having so much fun it was hard to get him to look at me for a picture!<br />

Since I just got out of the hospital, this year we kept things pretty low key for my birthday. It was a great day! My sweet husband woke up early and went on a super secret grocery store run to get ingredients for the best homemade breakfast tacos I've ever had. When he got back home, he snuck into the bedroom and took the baby monitor so that I could sleep in. It. Was. Wonderful. I think I slept "all the way" until 8:15 - which is the latest I've slept in since Knox was born! (This, coming from a girl who used to sleep till 1 pm! Those days are long gone. Ha!) Anyway, I came into the kitchen to find Logan cooking us all breakfast. So sweet! <br />

That evening, my mom watched Knox while Logan and I went to dinner and a movie. We saw This is the End, and it was actually pretty funny! I really ejoyed my low key birthday party this year. I'm so thankful I got to spend it at home with my family!

I've been a Pediatric Cardiology nurse for nine and a half years now. Throughout this time, I've gotten to work with some really great doctors who have become great friends. One of those friends is Dr. Amit Verma, who I've known since he was a resident back at Children's. Amit was so kind and offered to do a fetal echo on the baby for me. I jumped at the chance!<br />
<br />
For those who don't know what a fetal echo is, it's a sonogram that looks specifically and very closely at the anatomy of the heart of an unborn baby. So many of the heart babies I work with are born with undiagnosed heart defects even though their regular 20 week anatomy ultrasound showed no problems. Because of this, and the fact that 1 out of every 100 babies are born with a congenital heart defect (making it the number 1 birth defect in the world), having a baby with a heart problem has been a very real fear of mine. My friend Dr. Tim Thomas offered to do a fetal echo for me when I was pregnant with Knox, and it was such a relief to hear him say that his heart looked perfect. <br />
<br />
Anyway, when Amit was doing my fetal echo, we immediately noticed that the baby's heart rate was way too fast. A normal heart rate for a baby is 120's to 160's, and my baby's heart was beating 255 to 276 times per minute. WAY too fast. It stayed this fast through almost the entire fetal echo. Because of this, he officially diagnosed the baby with SVT, or Supraventricular Tachycardia (a fancy way of saying the heart rate is much too fast). The problem with SVT is that if the heart rate stays that high, the heart is beating too quickly to really fill up with blood, so there's not enough blood being pumped to the rest of the baby's body. This causes them to not grow well because their body isn't perfusing, and their organs can start to shut down. <br />
<br />
After Amit finished looking at the rest of the heart, he called his Perinatologist friend whose office is around the corner. (Funny enough, I already knew Dr. Weiss and love him. He is the doctor I use for my first trimester screens.) Amit explained that I was a friend, and we were doing a fetal echo "under the radar", and asked if Dr. Weiss could fit me in to check on the rest of the baby and make sure everything else looked okay. Dr. Weiss literally had me come in immediately. (It's kind of nice having friends in high places!)<br />
<br />
Dr. Weiss checked on the size of the baby (which was perfect), and for any fluid collecting around his other organs and brain (everything looked normal). The baby had a normal heart rate when we started this sonogram, but did go in and out of SVT throughout the rest of the sonogram. Because of this, they decided to admit me to the hospital to start me on a medication that would hopefully keep the baby's heart rate in the normal range. The reason they had to admit me was because in order for the medicine to cross the placenta and get to the baby, I'd have to take HUGE doses of this medicine which would make me feel awful, and could affect my own heart rate and blood pressure. To give you an example of just how high the dose of Digoxin that I started out on was, I once had a 400 pound patient who took 250 mcg twice a day. They started me out on 500 mcg three times a day! (My maintenance dose is now 250 mcg three times a day. Still more than the big boy!)<br />
<br />
After Dr. Weiss told me I'd need to be admitted, reality hit me and I was devastated. I was so, so thankful that Amit had offered to do the fetal echo. All of our other sonograms and doctor's visits with the OB had been normal. We had no idea that anything was wrong. And that's why I was so shocked. I'd always been afraid of the "what if there's something wrong with my baby"... but I never really expected it to happen to me. I was thankful that we caught this so early. I was only 19 weeks along, and they tell me the earlier they catch SVT the better the outcome. I was very thankful that structurally the heart is perfect - but still so sad that there was anything wrong at all. I know that if I had to choose a heart problem, SVT would be on the list. It doesn't affect life expectancy, and 80% outgrow it by the time they're a year old. But I'd rather just have a perfectly healthy baby that had nothing they needed to overcome. Who wouldn't? I also couldn't get over the irony of a pediatric cardiac nurse having a baby with a heart problem. I've always wondered why God gave me such a love and passion for these heart babies. Deep down I've always secretly hoped it wouldn't be because I'd "need" the knowledge for my own family. But truthfully, I'm thankful. God knows me and knows that I'm a knowledge and research junkie, and if I had a baby with anything other than a heart problem, I'd freak out and be even more scared because I don't know the other organ systems like I do the heart. I'm trusting that God knows what I can handle. <br />
<br />
So I was admitted to the antepartum unit on Wednesday, June 5, 2013. I started taking the Digoxin and the nurses would come in every 4 hours and listen to the baby's heart beat. I had EKG's done and more fetal echoes. By Friday, June 7th, we hadn't heard any sustained SVT, so they discharged me! I was so, so happy to go home. This was the longest I'd ever gone with being away from Knox, and I missed him so much. They set me up with weekly appointments with Amit and Dr. Weiss to do fetal echoes and sonograms, and in the meantime I'd bought a fetal doppler so I could check the heart rate myself at home. (Type A, I know.) <br />
<br />
After a couple of days of checking the baby's heart rate at home, I started to notice some breakthrough SVT. At first it would only last 5 or 10 seconds, and then go back to a normal rate. But every day the SVT seemed to last a little longer. On June 12, 2013, I actually heard the baby be in SVT for a little over 2 hours - and that was only while I was listening. My appointment was the next morning, and I just had a feeling that I'd be re-admitted to the hospital to start the next line of treatment. I was right. <br />
<br />
This time I was admitted to labor and delivery to do 24 hours of continuous fetal heart rate monitoring to see how much the baby was actually in SVT. If it was more than half of the time, we would need to start Flecainide. Well, the baby was in SVT a little over 55% of the time, so we started the Flecainide. And this time I had to stay in the hospital from June 13th through June 18th. Flecainide is a little more dangerous than Digoxin. It could actually affect my own heart rhythm and send me into some lethal rhythms, so you have to be hospitalized for a few days to make sure that doesn't happen! I had more daily EKG's, and more fetal echoes. (And lots more of the hospital chicken fried steak, which I found out I love!) My friend Laura gave me her Netflix password, and I watched all of the seasons of The Walking Dead. I was so embarrassed to admit to anyone who came into my room that I was watching a show about zombies... but it's really good! Hey, whatever helps pass the time, right?? <br />
<br />
So by June 18th, we hadn't heard any more SVT at all and everything looked good on my end, so they sent me home! This time I was even more excited to be going home. Logan or my mom brought Knox up to visit me at the hospital every day, but it wasn't the same as being home with him. And he was having a hard time at home with me being gone for so long. Lots of tears and meltdowns. So, now I'm taking the Digoxin three times a day and the Flecainide twice a day. I can't take them at the same time, so I have 5 different alarms set on my phone to remind me to take my medicine throughout the day. The medicine makes me feel so sluggish and tired all the time. I guess because my own heart rate and blood pressure are lower? I also have dizzy spells sometimes. Those aren't fun. Oh, and the nausea and vomiting are back! At least I got 1 week of freedom from morning sickness, right? For some reason, I feel so sick with that first Digoxin dose of the day. I've tried waking up and eating something with it, and that hasn't made much of a difference, so I'm back to taking Zofran with that first dose every day. I'm happy to have something that helps though.<br />
<br />
So that's the very long version of what's been going on! We are hopeful that the new combination of meds will keep the baby's heart rate in the normal range, and even more hopeful that he will outgrow the SVT by the time he's born. That would be the best scenario. He will have to stay in the NICU after he's born for at least 48 hours to monitor for SVT, but if he has no episodes, we get to take him home and I can monitor him there. If he ends up going in to SVT, we will start him on oral medicines and pray that he still outgrows the SVT within his first year. I was really sad to learn that he'll have to spend time in the NICU. I keep reminding myself that things could be much worse, so I'm still thankful that it should be a short stay... but I'm sad that I'll miss out on all that early bonding and cuddling in the hospital. I'm hoping they'll let me mostly stay in his NICU room so that I can nurse him on demand, rather than having to pump and give him a bottle. <br />
<br />
Thank you so, so much for your thoughts and prayers during all of this. They are much appreciated. I will do my best to keep everyone posted on how things are going!

I still feel like it's already much bigger much faster this time around, but it's fun to have a baby bump again. I felt the baby move for the first time on May 6, 2013, at 15 weeks and 3 days - a little sooner than I did with Knox. I may have felt Knox moving earlier but didn't realize that's what it was. Also, I'm finally not feeling nauseated anymore!!! Hooray!! 18 weeks of that was enough for me! :) <br />

Even though the water was cold, Knox <em>loved</em> having his feet in the pool. This turned into standing in the pool, which got his shorts wet. So we took those off. Then he squatted down in the water, which soaked his diaper, so we took that off too. Next thing you know, we've got a naked baby dancing around in the water! If I'd known at the time how cold the water actually was (66 degrees) there's no way I would have let him splash around for as long as we did! But he was having a blast! You'd have thought he was in bath water. <br />

Getting big fast! Still feeling pretty nauseated every day around 4 pm, so I've been taking my zofran religiously. There have only been about 2 days that I haven't needed to take it at all, but without fail, the following morning I feel awful. I keep hoping this nausea will pass now that I'm getting further into my second trimester. Other than that, things have been great! I'm hoping to start feeling the baby move soon. (I love that part.)<br />

Our 17 month milestones:<br />
<ul>
<li>On March 14, 2013 he started saying "at", which is "hat". If he doesn't have a hat handy, he just pats his head while he says it. :) </li>
<li>On March 23, 2013 he started doing a "flip" when you ask him to. He bends over and touches his head to the floor, but then falls over and rolls sideways onto his back. He <em>always</em> gives himself a round of applause afterwards. It's pretty cute. </li>
<li>On March 31, 2013 his top left canine tooth started poking through, and on April 3, 2013 the top right canine poked through. </li>
<li>On April 6, 2013 he apparently discovered how much fun walking on your tip-toes is, because he wants to do it all the time. It's funny to see him tip-toeing through the house as if he's sneaking around. </li>
</ul>

Since it's become somewhat of a tradition now, I ordered a miniature version of our wedding cake from our wedding baker again. The past 2 years I got Logan's groom's cake flavor (apple butter cake with apple butter filling and milk chocolate icing - yum!) but this year I decided to switch it up and order my flavor. It was chocolate kahlua cake with chocolate mousse filling and white chocolate icing. When I ordered it, I wasn't even thinking about the fact that I'm pregnant and consuming a kahlua cake might be frowned upon. When I picked up the cake, I asked her if the alcohol bakes out. She said that some of it might, but that she uses an entire cup of kahlua in this small cake! I had to exercise extreme will power to only eat one tiny piece. :) Anyway, Logan and I also had our tradition of steak dinner at Capital Grill, which was amazing as always.

Happy Anniversary, Hubs!Lorinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12941960343665183164noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966144999528944484.post-63502898027232879252013-04-14T14:53:00.000-05:002013-05-15T15:06:31.488-05:00Hello, Libby! Goodbye, Libby...Everyone knows I'm a dog person. I love dogs, and I've really missed having a dog over the last year and a half. So Logan and I talked about it, and after seeing how much Knox loves dogs (and how gentle he is with them) we decided to start looking for a puppy. I know - it sounds crazy to be pregnant and looking into puppies, but it was either now or never. (And by never, I mean we'd have to wait at least 3 more years until baby #2 was old enough to be around a dog - and we didn't want to wait that long.) So we just decided to go for it!<br />
Logan and I are both "big dog" people, but with little kids around, we knew we'd have to start out with a smaller dog. I promised myself I would never rescue another dog again after having so many issues with Lucy, but we found an adorable litter of puppies on Pet Finder that were available, and were only 10 weeks old. (Read: too young to be screwed up yet.) ;) They were part cattle dog, part Boxer (they think). We went to meet a few of the puppies that the foster mom thought would match our needs, and we fell in love with Libby. One short week later, she came to live with us!<br /><br />Libby was SO sweet. All she wanted to do was snuggle up in your lap and let you love on her. And her puppy breath was intoxicating. She was so, so gentle with Knox. Even let him steal her toys and lay all over her. The problem wasn't Libby. The problem was me. I knew potty training would require a lot of attention - but I thought since I'm home all day she wouldn't have the chance to have accidents. Wrong. I was literally taking her out every 30 to 45 minutes, yet she'd still come inside and pee and poop in the carpet. I told myself to be patient with her, and try not to think about the fact that my son was rolling in the floor where I'd just cleaned up dog poop. Then there was the water bowl issue. I finally got Knox to stop dumping her water bowl out all over the kitchen floor, but apparently she thought this was a great new trick and didn't want to stop doing that. Once again, I told myself to be patient with her. All new puppies need time and training. (Never mind the fact that she would go around the corner to pee in the carpet while I was distracted with cleaning up the water bowl mess.) Then there was the howling and whining at night. She'd always stop after 20 or 30 minutes, but it was a rough half hour listening to her sound so pitiful... and loud. Patience, Lorin. She's in a new place. All of these things had me second guessing my decision. How was I going to add a newborn into the mix in just a few months?? How would I keep the baby from crawling through the pee and poop in the carpet?? How mad would I be when the howling dog woke up both my kids when I'd spent hours trying to get them to sleep?? The final straw was when I caught her gnawing on a dead bunny she'd found stuck between some rocks in the back yard. That was it. I couldn't take it. I know dogs will be dogs. But they can be dogs somewhere else and kiss someone else's kids in the face with rabbit guts hanging out of their mouth. So, back to the foster family Libby went. <br />
<br />
While she was here though, we still had lots of fun! <br />

She really was a very sweet puppy. The timing was just bad. It will be a loooonng time before we have another dog at our house. And I'm totally okay with that. Because as much as I love dogs, it turns out I love my kid more. <br />

That's right! Baby #2 will be here this fall!! We are so very excited to be having another Little Lowry! :) <br /><br />I technically had a very, very faintly positive pregnancy test February 12th, but it was so faint I thought I might have been imagining it. So I tested again the next morning with a digital test, and there's no mistaking those results! </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">My first belly shot this time around. I was right at 9 weeks here. (Definitely showing a lot sooner this time!) I've been feeling pretty nauseated, really every day. It typically starts in the late afternoon and really peaks when I'm supposed to be cooking dinner. (That hasn't gone well.) When I was pregnant with Knox, I couldn't be around chicken. This time, I don't want to be around any meat. Maybe Knox and I can be vegetarians together. :) </span></td></tr>
