Ryan is still in the NICU....and I am getting VERY anxious to have him home. My mom and Mike keep telling me that it's the best thing for him, but I'm starting to lose my patience....
Right as things were looking perfect for him to get in the car with us and drive away, Ryan developed what is suspected to be a bit of reflux. The problem is that it's effecting the amount of oxygen he's absorbing into his bloodstream. He's had a few "de-sat" drops, so they've started him on some reflux medication and will watch him for another day or 2.
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you hear me screaming??? I want him HOME!!!
The good news is that he's growing (up to 5 lbs, 11 oz- his birth weight), and breastfeeding with no trouble whatsoever- other than the occasional drowning b/c my milk is seriously CRAZY flowing! I need to sell some of this stuff!
Mike and I have developed a pattern of going in for his 11 am feeding with Mimi and Catherine, then again for his 8 pm feeding. He gets to breastfeed for both of these feedings, and the nurses (who I'm becoming a little too chummy with!) are bottle feeding my breastmilk in between.
This morning, Catherine sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to him...it was so sweet! She is going to be the BEST big sister!
Thank you everyone for your endless thoughts, notes and prayers- we feel so special to have so many wonderful people in our lives! So many of you have been cheering us on, and we cannot express our gratitude.
Hugs- and kisses too! :)

No more Mr. Nice Guy!
Ryan has had it with all the "baby" stuff- he is off EVERYTHING now! He's our big boy now!
No more nasal cannula, no more oxygen, no more IV lines, no more anything! He's had a bath, has gained 3 ounces (up to 5 lbs, 10 oz now!), is breastfeeding like a CHAMP, and is pooping and peeing (like a geyser), maintaining his own temperature, etc, etc. We couldn't be prouder parents.
He still has some stickies attached to his chest to monitor his heart rate, his oxygen absorption, and his respiratory rate, but none of these things are helping him- they are there only to monitor.
Everyone has been in to hold him now- Daddy (with a mask), Catherine and Mimi too!
He seems to look so much like Catherine, it's pretty amazing...what do you think?

And what has Catherine been up to during all this ACTION?
Catherine has been a busy bee this week. She has been adjusting extremely well to the idea of having a baby brother, and is very VERY excited to have him home.
This past week, she attended Vacation Bible School at Crosspoint Community Church (where she attended school before we left for India)- and was a MANIAC for it! We could not believe how enthusiastic she was to go each evening and see her friends. They played great music and she is still singing some of them at the top of her lungs! One of the band members had blue hair, and she finally got to meet her "celebrity" the last night of VBS- she was speechless!
She also got to go on an early-morning bike ride with Daddy- something she's been waiting to do for over a month! She has been practicing her riding (and getting herself started so Daddy wouldn't have to get off his bike to help), and has declared herself to be "like the wind" fast!
And last but not least, she's been practicing some of her outdoor activities in the NUDE...classic! :)

Houston, we have eyeballs!
My mom and I went to the NICU tonight to see Ryan- and guess what? Not only did we get to see Ryan, but we got to see his eyeballs as well! Yay! I cannot say exactly what color they are- they look to be a dark blue, but maybe with a little gray tint....Catherine's were dark gray from the beginning and she ended up with dark brown eyes. We'll see!
Needless to say, we stared into each others' eyes for about 45 straight minutes. The LOVE is overflowing!
Needless to say, we stared into each others' eyes for about 45 straight minutes. The LOVE is overflowing!
PRAISE GOD!
Ryan is making leaps and bounds! He was taken off the C-Pap this morning and a nasal cannula was put in its place. His oxygen levels reached 24%, and his doctor felt he was strong enough to take this step. The cannula pipes air into his nose, as he no longer needs the pressure that the C-pap offered. In other words, he is opening his lungs completely on his own now and is able to absorb room air oxygen on his own...the cannula is there for support.
He looks wonderful! We can finally see his full face again, and while he is a little yellow, they intend to perform another jaundice test tomorrow.
The best news of all- I got to hold him for the first time today! I was over the moon! He feels and smells so good, and was so calm the entire time he was in my arms. He is so teeny tiny, I must say I was a bit nervous when I first took him, but he responded to me so well and I am OFFICIALLY in LOVE. I mean, I was before, of course, but now that I've held him and spent some time with him, it's SERIOUS, people! :)
Mike has a cold now and is unable to go into the NICU for fear of getting Ryan or the other babies sick...I'm so sad and frustrated for him! He wants to hold his son just as badly as I did...but I think he is just so run down from the flight back from India, going straight into the hospital with me for 3 nights- he is exhausted!
The second best news- Ryan is eating from a bottle! His first feeding was 5 ml of breastmilk through his feeding tube (he's been on protein and other nutrition since he was born), but I was able to give him 5 ml of breastmilk from a bottle today, and he SUCKED IT DOWN! I'm hoping to begin breastfeeding as soon as they tell me he is ready.
Here are a few pictures from our visit today:

Update on Ryan
Ryan is doing GREAT! He is a fighter through and through! On Monday, he was put on a C-Pap, a device that blows oxygen into his nose and allows his lungs to strengthen without so much work on his part. He started off at 52% oxygen, and will need to reach 21% (which is equivalent to room air) before he's taken off. Great news- he's down to 28%!
Once he reaches this goal, his next goal will be to maintain his own temperature without the warmer. Then- he will need to accomplish eating skills- he'll need to be able to orally consume milk via breast or bottle and prove that he can gain weight.
I was discharged from the hospital today:
We'll be going back a few times a day to visit him. I am so so so thankful for the NICU staff- they are WONDERFUL and such compassionate people. They answer our questions over and over and assure us that everything will be fine- he just needs time to get stronger and will be home before we know it.
Will post more current pictures soon- I'm exhausted and need to sleep now!

Ryan James is born!
We'd like to announce the arrival of our son, Ryan James Weatherwax!
He is beautiful- he was born on June 21st, 2009 at 10:23 am. He weighed in at 5 lbs, 11 oz and is 18.5" long. He has a full head of black hair, my nose and ears, Mike's lips, and Catherine's toes!
We are still in the hospital- Ryan has been checked into the Level 2 Nursery here at Memorial Hermann Katy hospital, as he is having difficulty breathing and maintaining good oxygen levels. He is being fed intravenously, but I am pumping with hopes of being able to nurse once he is ready.
I am feeling well- I'm up and about, and I think that it's true what they say about multiple C-sections- each one gets easier! This is my 3rd, so I might be running a 5K tomorrow- haha!
We are taking it day by day and we are praying that Ryan will continue to be strong and focus his energy on growing. Once he maintains his breathing goals, we'll be working on feeding goals and only then will he be released.
Thank you everyone for your notes, emails, calls and prayers...please continue to pray for Ryan so we can hold him in our arms and bring him home soon soon soon!

Happy Father's Day!
Mike is getting the BEST Father's Day gift EVER. Our little boy will be delivered tomorrow, June 21, 2009! We are very, very, very excited to meet him!
We went over to the hospital today, had the ultrasound done, and my fluid levels had actually stayed the same, measuring a 7, which is in the 5th percentile (average fluid level for a 36 weeker is 14). Our doctor gave us the choice to deliver tomorrow at 36 weeks, or wait as long as Wednesday.
I've been taken off my blood thinners in preparation for the c-section surgery, and Mike noted that the longer we wait, the greater the chance of a blood clot.
We agonized over our decision for almost 2 hours, and finally concluded that we had to choose between the lesser of 2 evils- immature lungs, or the chance of another stillbirth. We hope that immature lungs can be treated- even if he is in the NICU for a few days, the consequences of this are less extreme (and less devastating) than losing another child.
So we will report to the hospital at 6 am tomorrow, and we are scheduled for a 9 am c-section. I have pangs of anxiousness, but I have faith that everything will be all right- this baby boy has been fighting from the beginning, and has been strong and healthy from the start.
Tomorrow we will be a family of FOUR! Happy Father's Day, babe! :) I love you!

We're off!
My mom got here yesterday, and Mike just arrived this morning.
So this is it- the moment of truth! Mike and I are headed out the door to the hospital to have an ultrasound done. If my fluid levels have decreased, I may very well be checked into the hospital. I've packed a bag, selected his going-home outfit, and am now basically a ball of nerves. I'm anxious and excited all at once!
As soon as we have word, I'll post again. Just wanted to keep everyone updated!

Healthy, healthy, healthy!
That's my mantra today. All I want is a healthy baby.
Went to see my OB/Gyn today, where she performed the weekly ultrasound and non-stress test. Things seem to be good- he's up to 5 lbs, 6 oz; the blood flow through the umbilical cord is good; he's practicing his breathing and his lungs look to be mature; he's moving a lot and his heart rate increases every time he moves; my fundus is measuring right on....
But there was some alarming news: my amniotic fluid levels are down, and have been decreasing for several weeks now.
So- what this means: I'm due to have another ultrasound done on Saturday. If the fluid levels are even lower, she will either check me into the hospital to be monitored, or deliver the baby.
I'm a little worried- I'm not even 36 weeks! I'm nervous that he will be too small or not developed enough....but my doctor has pointed out that with my history, it's better for the baby to be OUT than IN. There is no sense in pushing him longer and causing him distress in any way.
What's the big deal about low fluid, you may ask? According to my Dr., there are several risks: 1) without sufficient cushioning, the baby may lay right on the umbilical cord and cut off his own nutrients/oxygen 2) the placenta may begin to detach from the uterine wall 3) it's oftentimes an indication that growth has slowed down and the baby would get better nutrients outside the womb.
So- everyone is springing into action. My mom will fly in tomorrow morning. Mike will fly in on Saturday morning. And hopefully by Saturday afternoon, we'll know what our next step is going to be.
Until then, please say some prayers for a HEALTHY baby. Thank you so much!

We got a new car!
....in India, that is.
We've been driving (or, I should say, Sachin's been driving us) a leased Honda Camry, but Mustang Engineering decided to go for it, and buy a vehicle for us (and future expat families) for more long-term use.
After testing 3-4 different types of vehicles, we decided on a Toyota Innova. These are not made in the U.S., so most of you have never seen one. But, it's basically a minivan....and it's by far the most popular expat vehicle in Mumbai, as far as I can tell. For good reason- with Little Bump on the way, we knew it'd be too tight in the Camry- I've seen as many as 4 carseats in one of these babies!
Because these vehicles are so popular, I decided I wanted one that was just a little bit "different" and went for the blue color, instead of the standard silver or gold. This way, I can see Sachin coming from down the street!
We are sure to enjoy this new vehicle- Catherine can get herself in/out of it by herself (she'll be in the 3rd row), and I'll be comfortable with the baby in the 2nd row. I'm excited to see how it works out- who knows, maybe we'll like minivans so much, we'll switch over when we move back- NOT! :)

Prom- oh, the memories!
My crazy friend Sarah threw her annual costume party this past weekend (last year was Toga!) and as usual, she went ALL OUT!
This year's theme was Monte Carlo Casino Prom Night- and what a freakin' riot it was! Due to my current....well, shape- I was not able to find a cheesy early-90's dress to represent my "time", but Heather was generous enough to lend me a really cute dress that actually fit.
Some of the get-ups were too much, and had me in stitches! A great time was had by all!

So THIS is what happens during nap time!
Catherine swore she would sleep today during her "quiet time"....didn't happen. Instead, she apparently played doctor with her Lucy Ladybug...taking the bandaids off her own heels and applying them to Lucy's antenna and nose. Gross? Sweet? Both, I suppose... :)
Cousin Keira turns 4!
Yesterday was Keira's 4th Birthday party. For those of you who don't already know, Keira is totally Catherine's BFF. They are only 4 months apart and literally scream and run to each other every time they get together- even if they saw each other the day before. It's too cute!
Catherine was drooling with envy over the Princess party...and a particular gift bag that was FILLED with Little Mermaid things. Looks like we're in for it in late October!
Time has flown by and it's hard to believe that the oldest of the Weatherwax cousins is already 4...before we know it, we'll be attending High School graduations and sending them off to college (West Point, of course!).
Keira's new bike- a 16-incher! She's very tall!
Keira's younger brother, JJ!
Catherine was so happy to have CHOCOLATE cake (Daddy's favorite, and thus hers too!)
The birthday girl waiting for her cake!
Craft time!

Surprise Baby Shower!
My Bunco group threw me a surprise baby shower this week. I was so touched that I literally cried.
I have been in this Bunco group since 2002...that's a long time! These ladies have known me since before Mike and I were even engaged! Needless to say, they've followed my life journey through many, many experiences, both good and bad.
It has been so fun to get together with them every month, and stay in each other's lives.
Thank you, ladies, for your prayers and well wishes, and for welcoming our new son into the world with open arms. It means more than I can say.

Summer Fun!
Catherine is totally in her element this summer! She is really coming out of her shell and exploring more and more on her own. Her timing could not be better, as I'll have my hands soon enough!
Her favorite activities include sidewalk chalk, riding her new bike, swinging, painting on her easel, running in the sprinkler, swimming at the pool and lots of playdates with friends!
Her most recent accomplishment is spelling her FULL name! I'm so proud of her, considering it's 9 letters long! Here's a pic of some recent practicing:
And here she is enjoying some other activities:
We even went down to the beach in Galveston last week with friends!
Oh, to be a kid again and just ENJOY the summer and all that it brings! Brings back good memories!

35 years YOUNG!
Today is my birthday- my 35th birthday. WOW. I'm gettin' up there.
I had a great day spending time with Catherine at the pool, came home to 50+ Facebook Bday wishes, then had Bunco tonight where the girls threw me a surprise baby shower- so so sweet.
I am so grateful and humbled by how much people go out of their way for our little family. It means so much and just proves to me time and time again how blessed we are!
So, I guess being 35 isn't so bad- life is only getting better and better!
Although, I DID find my first gray hair a few days ago...ugh.
Thanks everyone for a GREAT day!

And the winner is....
well, we still don't know. We have exactly 3 weeks (that's 21 days, folks) until Little Bump arrives, and Mike and I STILL cannot decide on a name for this child. How pathetic! Maybe we'll just have to see him to decide.
Anyway, I promised to give the results of the poll, so here goes:
-Alexavier 1
-Andrew 4
-Benjamin 2
-Ethan 2
-Evan 3
-Luke 0
-Matthew 2
-Ryan 1
Looks like Andrew was the most popular! I do love it! You'll have to wait till June 29th to know for sure though! Oh, I'm such a tease!
Oh- here's a recent ultrasound pic. CUTE!
