So turns out we never got a lung scan yesterday, there wasn't a doctor there qualified to do it, so don't know what happened as was suppose to get it yesterday, we got just a normal quick scan so we could see Sunshine etc after my bad night so least we seen he's ok, doing plenty of practice breathing movements etc and we got a wee picture. Had to get her to stop in the end as had been lying on my back too long and the weight was really bad pushing on me and made me feel extremely sick, she also had a look at his estimated weight which is now 5lb 3oz and said he's measuring ok etc, but she said it looks like theres quite a pocket of fluid gathered now, was sooo hoping this wouldn't happen now as it's fine till now which means Sunshine has been doing exactly what he needs to with it and has been managing it fine, i know the levels can go up and still be within normal range, but just worried this means he's starting to struggle with it now and with being so close to delivery now there's not much time to come back from any reversals.
The MRI went well, wasn't in as long as the last time but now he's bigger he can't move around so much so they get what they need quicker, she said they got some lovely pictures and i was sooo looking forward to seeing them but they brought a baby in an incubator in and i could hear them talkin about were they just going to lift him in the machine and hand bag him etc, i walked past him he was soooo tiny only had like 1 machine with him and that was hard enough seeing that, what am i going to be like seeing my own baby lying there with multiple machines n things attached to him, so i got to see 2 pictures of the top of Sunshines head n couldn't stand there anymore, don't know where the tears came from but they came a lot :( they did apologise saying they should have thought etc, but too late by then it was done so just had to get on with it.
So we now go back in 2 weeks for the results of the MRI and for the lung scan and sort out going in for delivery.

Don't worry, it is much different when you see your own baby. When I toured the NICU before Dakota was born, all I saw was wires and machines. But when I saw Dakota for the first time (and she was on ECMO even) all I saw was her beautiful face. Sunshine will look like a beautiful baby to you, no matter what he is hooked up to-you won't even see the machines.
Lots of love and prayers,

It is different when you see your own baby.....It was hard the first time for me because I was praying that when he was born He would come out just like any normal baby and not need all the machines and al. I was so sure that was going to happen, ya i know crazy! So when I saw that he did need it and he was sick I became really upset....but after that the machines didn't bother me at all, it was just my little Jackson laying there and i was loving on him always! you will be fine and your baby isn't going to be a wee one either...lots of love candice
