34 weeks and beyond

I have not done well with taking my weekly pics, but I do have a valid excuse. At 34 weeks, I went to my monthly perinatologist appointment--totally thinking this would be my last appointment. My doc had said that if everything looked at 34 weeks I would be released to my regular OB until delivery. Well to my surprise, things did not look good at the appt. My amniotic fluid was very low (5). I was hospitalized and put on IV fluids. If my amniotic fluid didn't improve, we would be having a baby the next day! Talk about being unprepared and totally freaked out. I was hospitalalized in Shreveport, and literally had nothing except for my purse. After a complete emotional roller coaster, my fluid doubled the next day to (10). I was released but was put on bed rest until delivery. Luckily each week when my fluid was checked it was still good. It went from 10 to 9 to 13 where it stayed for 2 weeks. So after 4 weeks if bed rest, we are just 2 days away from meeting our baby girl! I'm so thankful she stayed inside longer, and now can't wait to meet her!  Next post will include pics of our little one! :)
