ZOE UPDATE

Today's visit at Children's Hospital revealed the following truths:
1. Zoe is no longer breach
2. A heart arrhythmia was no longer observed
3. Zoe is low and ready
4. Zoe's mom - physically - is not as ready
5. Jen will go in at 6 PM on March 20th to begin - BNS is not making this up - "ripening."
6. Early March 21 she will begin "sauteeing." Ok, that was made up. Early March 21, induction will begin.
6.5 Once Zoe is born, she''ll be whisked to the Natal Intensive Care Unit on a separate floor of Children's Hospital/Froederdt Hospital. That's where she'll stay for a number of days.
7. Zoe will likely be in the hospital after her mom is released
8. Zoe's mom and dad have asked Grandpa Du to baptize her at the hospital
9. *To dispel any misinterpretations* Zoe will be going back to the hospital between her 6th and 9th month to have heart surgery. She'll likely be in the hospital a number of weeks. (This link is for a hospital in Texas, but it does a nice job of explaining what's to come, and it has a link to the expected impact of open heart surgery on an infant).
