Hello everyone in blog land. I wanted to give you a quick update. Well, no baby yet. Caroline and Eliza are still doing well. We had a little more eventful day yesterday. Caroline had her morning monitoring session and she had a few contractions and the baby's heart rate was up a little. So she got an IV and everything calmed down. They were not too concerned with the elevated heart rate. Eliza's just more active.
We also had another ultrasound yesterday. Happy to report that Eliza looked good and Caroline's amniotic fluid actually was up around a 7. It was a 3 earlier in the week. Anything less than 3 and they'll go ahead and do the C-section. So 7 was awesome! She also got an 8 out of 8 on a test they do as far as movements in utero.
Tomorrow we are at 34 weeks! Yahoooooooo! That's the big milestone. Of course our favorite doctor (Dr. Lydia Wright who's the high-risk OB-GYN, Perinatologist) told us now we are going to shoot for 35 weeks. At that point we'll re-evaluate but more than likely they'll do a C-section unless her fluid is up to a 10 or so. Oh yea, I posted a picture of Caroline and Dr. Wright. Caroline had just gotten out of the shower.
We decided Eliza's baby clothes (0-3 months) would be too big since she'll be around 4 pounds. So we got online and ordered preemie clothes. We got them yesterday and they are sooooo small. A onesie literally is the size of my hand. They are really sweet.
Our next thing is another ultrasound on Monday. We will also get a growth scan on Monday to determine size. Let's hope that all of the bacon and eggs Caroline has eaten has fattened Eliza up!
Last, we cannot access our blogsite or hotmail from the hospital. So, I'll try to update as often as possible when I'm in the office. Caroline does have access to her work email: caroline.lytle@nmfn.com.
Take care to you all and thanks again for your calls, gifts, and most importantly, prayers!
