CHOP appointment made!

So we're on our way down this HLHS road now. Heading to the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia on Monday. Have a whole day of tests planned and meetings with specialists. We even will have a sit down meeting with Dr Jack Rychik - the guy who actually/literally wrote the book on HLHS.  We are so lucky to know about Macsen's defect before he's born. So many parents take their HLHS baby home only to have them go into distress and start shutting down days later with no idea what happened to their seemingly healthy baby. I am thankful to know - even though it makes this pregnancy sort of bitter sweet.
 I love being pregnant - I'm one of the weird ones that doesn't beg to be induced. One of my favorite times of the day is when I'm reading bedtime stories to my girls - Macsen kicks up a storm during the first story. He always falls asleep by the second :)
