Quick Pregnancy Update....

This morning was a bust.

We had the ultrasound done. She is about 7 pounds 2 ounces (YEAH!)....

My favorite doctor in the whole wide office came in (thanking the Lord for that small favor) and asked when I had my last shot. I told him this morning at 8 AM. He got a bit concerned because I could bleed and it could be bad and then end up with an emergency section. Not what either of us wanted so this is the NEW plan...

We are moving onto Plan B...

Plan A was all the stuff this morning and then the induction tomorrow - Plan B is into Labor and Delivery tomorrow morning around 8 AM. Have my PTT levels drawn STAT. If it comes back and I am not fully anti-coagulated they are then going to do the amnio. Dr. Shake is going to put a STAT order on that as well. We will hang out for a couple of hours and then if all is good - they are just going to start the induction then.

If her lungs are not developed - we are moving onto Plan C....

Plan C is to be made up as we go along!

I love this doctor! He (and the doctor he ended up replacing) are the only ones who show any respect for the other doctors in this office. He said to me, "Well we are two specialists who just don't see eye to eye on how to do an amnio and there is nothing wrong with that but I do not feel safe with what she ordered because I am doing the procedure."

Now had it been anyone else and it would have been cutting down the decision, saying that isn't how we do things, etc. I have heard it all before from them. They just don't agree with each other and when that happens; 3 out of the 4 cut down the others decisions...

Wow - it looks like things are coming along... not to much longer now!

Praying for God's presence to be a palpable presence in the delivery room and the entire stay...
