Update
Ok here is an update about our baby arriving:
Yesterday was another roller coaster ride of emotions. I went to my normal Non-Stress Test to check the fluid and make sure she isn't under stress, and after that I had a routine Doctor appt. She was very active during the test and wouldn't settle down. Her heart rate was really pretty high and wouldn't come down to where they could say her resting rate was ok. So after 45 minutes of that test the Doctor wanted to monitor her for another hour down in Labor and Delivery. My eyes started to well-up with tears and the nurse could tell I was upset. I told her this pregnancy has been a roller coaster and I never know what to expect anymore! She explained to me that this was a good thing and everything will be fine. Luckily Steve was on his way so I could cry to him soon! So the lady that schedules all my Tests grabbed a wheel chair and took me down to Labor and Delivery. I felt so weird - I could walk, I was just an emotional pregnant woman!! I got everything filled out and as they were taking me back to the room to be monitored here came Steve - What a relief! So they monitored her for a few minutes and OF COURSE her heart rate came down and was fine. The nurse called my Dr. and she said the baby looks fine so send her up for her appt. Yay - that was nice to hear!
Once we got in to see the Doctor she said that if my fluid drops below 7 again she thinks its time to get her out since we are now at the 37 week "full term" mark. I have a Non-Stress Test Friday to see where the fluid is at and if it is below a 7 - here comes baby!!! I said to her "oh ok so what you are saying is.... I can start doing little things around the house, but still drink lots and maybe, just maybe the fluids will come down by Friday"?! And she said I am just going to turn my head and look the other way... Hahaha I love my Dr. She is great!! So if we have a baby this weekend I will post pics as soon as I can :) I'm really nervous now!
