Today I went in for my non stress test and Barbara Joy was a stinker, once again! This time it was more becasue her heartrate was dropping pretty low. Her normal range is not very high anyway, but this was lower. She usually runs between 125ish-150ish....mostly in the 120's and 130's. Today it was dropping into the 100-110 range, so the dr sent me over to labor and delivery. I was so thankful my mom was here, because Matt was in a different hospital a few miles away becasue he had knee surgery yesterday.
After 6 hours of monitoring, the dr decided she will do an amnio on Monday morning to check baby's lung development and if she is ready, I will be induced on Tuesday as long as they can fit me in. I do not want to be induced, but if that is what needs to happen, I am ready.
I am a little worried about the whole thing more because as of right now, Matt cannot walk and he will not be able to help at all. I was thinking about the little things like carrying the carseat when I am not supposed to be lifting, etc. This is a rough time for everything to pile on at once, but I am thankful the Lord has a plan, and someday, we will look back on this time and remember how the Lord brought us through this time and it will bring us joy.
So, either way I will have a baby 2 weeks or less from today. I am praying that I will just go into labor on my own, but I guess my ultimate prayer is for God's will ( I just want that to be it ;)
So, I will keep you posted! Pray for us....we need it!! =)
W O W . . . so thankful you have the Lord to lean on; I just can't imagine making it though a time like this without Him!!! You remain in our prayers and we KNOW GOD will help you in every day and trial you are experiencing @ this time. Love you & would help if I lived closer!!
