4 months
So I just realized about an hour ago that Maxton will be here in 4 months... well his due date is 4 months from now, but they are planning to induce so he will probably be here in less than 4 months. That is CRAZY to me! It's scary to think about how different my life will be in such a short period of time. I am definately excited but also terrified. I am trying to be strong and think I am doing good with everything, but I still have days where I am so scared for Max, and for David and I. Anyways, just wanted to share that little Max will be here soon... well, it's soon to me. :-) I hope by then his little lungs are ready to fight (and maybe aren't so little. :-) )

Welcome to the CDH Family. I hate that you have to be a part of this family, but it's a wonderful and supportive one. I saw your post on BOH and wanted to wish you the best with your journey. We're right in the middle of ours with Carter and certainly filled with huge ups and huge downs, but you WILL get through it. Try to stay positive for Max and we can't wait to meet him. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. kzmyers@yahoo.com

Hi Ashley... I just read your message on BOH and came to read your blog. I am Tricia, and my daughter, Cadenne, is nearly a year old.
One thing I'd recommend is reading blogs that represent lots of different paths. I learned SO much from the families that went before us. I felt like I was really "pre-informed" when doctors would come tell us things. I knew terminology, treatments, etc. and I feel that knowing it ahead of time helped me to process things as they came in that post-partem emotional time.
As for Cadenne, she was an ECMO baby, in hospital for 12 weeks, and came home with a g-tube. (just to give you an idea of what kind of "path" she had! :) ) Today she is doing fabulously... g-tube is gone and we have very few issues that relate to CDH.
Our blog address is: http://kariabi.blogspot.com if you want to read more! I will add yours to my list! :)
