11/1/2016 38th week Doctor's appointment

Angelica is still breech and does not appear to be going anywhere. We have scheduled a C section for next Wednesday November 9. Dr. Ivey wanted to do the surgery on Monday however there are no surgical rooms available until Wednesday. So she will be here in one week! We are very excited. We have been told due to her heart condition we will not get skin on skin time and she will be taken directly to the NICU. This was difficult to hear however I know she is in the best hands and getting the best care she can get. An echo cardiogram will be done in the first 2 hours to determine the extent of her heart condition and if anything will be needed urgently. Chris will follow her to the NICU.  We are looking into staying at the Ronald McDonald house so that we can be close to her once I get released from the hospital. We have friends and family who have offered their homes and we are so grateful to them. Not sure at this time where we will stay but I have faith it will all work out. We are eagerly awaiting her arrival. I will keep updating this blog as we know more.
