- The weekend that Karen's water broke (days before Harper's birth), we had made plans to go to a blues festival in Windsor with my parents for a final weekend away before baby came. The Friday that we were supposed to leave, Karen was feeling a lot of pain/pressure and told me that she did not really feel up for the trip. So, my parents went up on Friday without us and took their friends instead... Karen's water broke that night and we were admitted to the hospital later that Saturday.
- During the pregnancy, Karen was measuring larger than normal her last couple of visits. Her doctor ordered an ultrasound to take a look at the babe and get a more accurate measurement of the size. The ultrasound was scheduled for Tuesday the 17th, but due to our early admittance we got one on Monday the 16th. Having the doctors find the complication one day earlier and inducing could have made the difference in our situation now.
- The natologist who was on call actually teaches recertification classes to other doctors about neonatal resuscitation...
- The neonatal cardiologist had happened to be in the office for some random reason instead of being at her downtown location...
- Karen's OB/GYN was on vacation for the previous week and made it back just in time...
- Harper was 6 weeks early and measured in at 6.5lbs with a height of almost 20in. If she had 6 more weeks to brew... Karen would not have been a happy camper. :)
I truly believe that everything does happen for a reason...
Today is Harper's 1 week Birthday! Pictures and updates will be posted later!!
