Waiting...

We just got back home from our morning appointment. The baby was not having a great day. Her body size percentiles went down from the 21st to the 10th percentile (she is in the 5lb range though!). All of her other numbers were on the very low end of average. With all of this info gathered, the doctor decided to go ahead with an amniocentesis to check for lung development (yes, the dreaded amnio I thought I had avoided). The amnio went fine, no complications, and was much less painful than I had anticipated.

Anyway, we are anxiously awaiting the results from the amnio. If the tests show that her little lungs are developed than we will be having a baby very shortly. If the tests show that her lungs are not developed then we continue with our appointments. The doctor is just making sure she will be able to breathe on her own once she makes her grand entrance into the outside world.

We will update soon with the results, but I wanted to put this info up to keep everyone posted.
