It's getting close...Wait is it time?

What a day?!? We had our regular maternal fetal appointment this morning to look at the amniotic fluid level. This morning it was on the low side again, so Dr. Jaekle decided to give Ashley IV fluid over night to see if that could bring the levels up. So tonight we'll be staying at Women's and tomorrow we'll get another look at Trace. If the fluid levels have gone down, then they may deliver this weekend. This is both an exciting and nervous time because while we are "ready" for the baby, we still have a lot of stuff to do. But no matter what we think, we're ready.

Dr. Jaekle had another concern with the baby's growth. He is currently 6 lbs 4 ozs and we are at 35 weeks. They figure that in a couple weeks, he'll be at 8.5 lbs and then at term he could be up to 9.5 lbs. Basically, he's growing really well, actually too well. So this is another thing for us to watch out for.

Stay tuned....
