36 weeks

This week I will be 36 weeks pregnant! Where has the time gone? In one week we will be considered full term! wow!!

Well on March 2 Luke and I trekked to Fort Worth on a really quick trip to meet with the Craniofacial team at Cooks Childrens who will work on Easton. We got a lot of information from the surgeon on what he does, ant a time frame.
We expect, as long as he is eating good and gaining weight normally to have his lip/nose repaird between months 3-5 and then the palate repair will take place between months 8-12, again this all depends on his weight gain, how well he is eating, and his overall health.
We will call the surgeon when Easton is born and set up an appointment for him to see him within 3 weeks, and he'll evaluate the severity of Eastons cleft and we can meet with feeding specialists if we're having any trouble.
We really really liked the surgeon, he was ver very knowledgable and very nice and understanding. He was extremely personable and it helps to know that this is what he specializes in and does them all the time. He will also be our hub for any other specialists we might need down the line, speech therapists,  orthodontists whatever we night need he will be the connection and the way we get into those specialists. He told us that it is important we have good communication because we will be a "family" Until Easton becomes an adult, seeing as how we do not know the complications that might arise. Plus he warned us that other surgeries could be necessary down the line too as his face grows etc....
Anyway I think Luke and I both rested a little easier after meeting with him and getting all the info we did from him.

This week I go to my 36 week appt and will go ever wednesday until he is here!! Crossing our fingers its soon! THis mama is getting pretty miserable!!
