Things have moved along quickly with baby Cole. My C-section is now scheduled for Tuesday, December 14 at 3 pm. Thats less than 48 hours from now - CRAZY! After having lots of contractions and blood sugar issues we talked with Dr. W and all came to the agreement on Tuesday's delivery date.
Dr. W did prep us for Cole's need to probably be taken to the NICU for observation due to my gestational diabetes. We were prepared for Hailey and Mason to have a short stay in the NICU but Hailey managed to regulate her blood sugar after birth and avoided having to go. Dr. W said things were a little different with Cole since my medication doses are higher, I've been eating correctly and my numbers are still elevated. Hearing the word NICU mentioned isn't comforting - but blood sugar issues are on the "easy" end of reasons to have to go. Hopefully all of our prayers will have the same effect as they did on Hailey and Cole will stay with his Mommy and Daddy. We are looking forward to being home well before the holidays and getting to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the twins.
Hailey and Mason are doing great. We did Santa pics that are hysterical. I may load those tomorrow night since I doubt I'll be sleeping due to nerves and excitement. This was our last weekend as our little family of four...can't wait to meet Cole in person Tuesday afternoon.
