Thursday March 11th - Monday March 15th

We went in for the ultrasound/turning consultation Thursday March 11th and found out they wouldn't do the procedure due to my fluid being low. I left the appointment knowing that we would now be booking a c-section for March 27th and in addition to our weekly check ups I now had weekly ultrasound and non stress tests scheduled. Dave and I spent the weekend getting ready feeling pretty rushed with the c-section only two weeks away. Friday we went to happy hour at Z-Tejas and did some shopping at Bell Square. Saturday was clean house and organize day followed by dinner at Andrea's with Joe, Lesli and Charlotte as well. Sunday we continued getting ready and then I went to Tutta Bella to celebrate Danielle being in town since she is applying to Pharm school at UW. The weekend was busy and helped take our minds off the low fluid and c-section.

Monday arrived and we both went to work. I headed to my 2:25pm appointment only to find out the fluid was even lower than before. It had been 7 at the previous appointment and was now 5.4, 5 being the cut off for bad. During the non stress test the women attending let me know we had a very happy baby. As we chatted I mentioned I was a little bummed about having to have a c-section and the fact that I already knew my sons b-day. The women just looked at me and let me know she bet we would have the baby by the end of the week. She also let me know she almost didn't give me any water as she thought the doctor would send me straight over to the hospital after the ultrasound results. They did let me leave and told me to expect a call from my doctors office. I made the call to Dave to let him know the baby was probably arriving well before the 27th. I went back to work thinking I better really get everything done asap! Not long after I arrived back at work my doctors office called and let me know they wanted me back in the next morning. She told me not to eat anything after midnight. I asked what kind of test they were doing and she let me know it would be another ultrasound. At this point I asked if I should have my bags packed and she said yes. I stayed late at work and then headed home where the evening was spent packing bags, trying to figure out names and being very nervous!
