37 and 38 Weeks and Rilee's Doctors Appointment

Hello everyone. So Rilee and I both had doctors appointments yesterday, mine was much better than hers. Rilee had to get a total of 9 different vaccinations they were:

Hepatitis B
DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis)
HIB (Haemophilus Influenzae Type B
Pneumococcal
Polio
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella
Varicella (Chicken Pox)
Hepatitis A
H1N1 Vaccination

Luckily they only had to give her six shots. But today she has a slight fever which the doctor said that is normal. Doctor Burnett said her fever could get as high as 102 but I checked her this morning and she only has a 99.9 which is a slight fever. My mom is getting her some Tylenol today when she goes for her doctors appointment. So she is not a happy camper today, she got up at 7 AM and then she was so fussy that I put her down for her nap at 8:30 AM and she is still sleeping she will probably sleep a lot today.

Also at the appointment, we discussed Rilee's hearing loss and she reassured me that they will keep an eye on Reagan's hearing every 4-6 months. Also she referred Rilee to a Child's Intervention Program for her speech which I thought since she doesn't have the cochlear we would wait, but Dr. Burnett said she wants her to get started on it so when she gets the cochlear it won't be anything new. I am excited to see how quick it takes Rilee to start really talking. I just wonder how long it will take her to get caught up?

As for me and my appointment, it went well they had to combine my 37 and 38 week appointment which means that I will not be going to the doctors anymore for this pregnancy which I am so happy about. They also gave me the run down on what my c-section will be like and how early I have to be at the hospital the day of the 26th 5 AM. Dr. Cohen said it will take 1 minute to get Reagan out and then 45 minutes to stitch me back up. So what will happen is she will take Reagan out, let Larry take her to the nursery, stitch me up, take me to recovery for an hour and then back up to my room.

Rilee and my mom will come later on in the day but not until the afternoon just so I will have time to bond with Larry and Reagan and also trying to breastfeed. I will keep all of you posted on the progress if I go into labor before the 26th or when I have the c-section.

I am going to keep a positive attitude and no matter what happens if I have her earlier or if I have her right on schedule, I will not care as long as she is a happy, healthy, little girl. We are getting more and more excited to meet her and I think the excitement is turning into anxiety haha. Well please continue to pray for us and pray that my pain subsides. We love you all and when Rilee starts her child's intervention program I will keep you all posted.
