2 more weeks to go...

Well, we have officially hit the panic button I think! We made a trip to Babies R Us this past weekend, just to feel like Caleb will have a few of the necessities once he is able to come home. Guess it will tie is over for now, we will have a much better idea of needs once we get Sara moved to her new room and can set up a nursery once again. Never thought we would be doing that!!

Today was another Perinatal specialist appt. at the hospital. Non-stress test went fine. My blood pressure, etc. continue to remain stable which is nice, even with the swelling in my feet and ankles. The sonogram showed that I had low amniotic fluid. They like it to be between 8-20 (I know, quite a spread, huh?!) and mine was 8.7, so the doctor was a little concerned, but did not make me come back any earlier then my next scheduled appt. (next Wed.) It has me on edge, that's for sure. It is certainly nerve racking that is really could be that low, but he said there are reasons it could have been low at that point in time that they checked it, so here's hoping it was just that particular moment they caught it low! I am now nervous that I will go next week and it will be even lower and they will immediately admit me. We will NOT be ready for that!! Oh, the sonogram also showed that his estimated weight at this point is 8 lbs!! Again, ESTIMATED! Here's hoping it truly is an estimate and they are a little on the high end of that estimate, esp. with 2 weeks to go!

Here's hoping next week's appt. will go smoothly and the fluid level will be back up into the normal range again!! I need that last week to finalize things around here!! :) Not to mention Ryan's 9th birthday on Saturday!! Happy Birthday Ryan!!

Thank you so much for your support and prayers on Caleb's behalf. We are almost there!!
