I saw the OB on call today at the hospital as well and she wants us to be seen by a specialist in Surrey. I would tell you what kind of specialist if I knew what she had said, but it is someone who is a specialist in neonatal ultrasounds. He will be able to take a better more detailed look at Nudge and then make the call as to when they think he can make it till.
Until then I will continue to go for non-stress tests daily and count fetal movements at home. If I have anything that concerns me or scares me I am always welcome to go see them at the hospital and get put on the monitor.
I am off work for this week till I see the specialist and then whether I go back will be up to him.
So, I am still nervous and scared and worried of course. However, it is nice to know that they think he can make it a few days at least.
That will give me time to get a few things sorted out for his arrival.
Why I am Happy today:
All the pain I have been having in my lower abdomen and pelvic seems to have been a blessing in disguise. Had I not been having all those pains, I would not have raised concern with my doctor. Had I not raised concern with my doctor she would not have decided to send me for an ultrasound. The ultrasound was only to check the length of my cervix. However, once they have you there they take a quick peek of the baby anyway. It was at this time that the tech found this problem. If they did not find this problem things could be a whole lot worse. I could have not known anything was wrong and Nudge could have gone untreated.....well you get the picture.
I have to know that God has his hand in there somewhere.. giving us a chance to find a potential life threatening problem with Nudge.
Now we are aware and are receiving the best care possible to make sure he makes it out okay.
I have to say I feel blessed for that.
The nurse last night let me keep a little piece of Nudge's print out. This was before things went all crazy.

good to hear they're watching you both so carefully. You'll probably see Dr. Sill, a Neonatologist. I saw him when there was some concern with Max. Great Dr.!
Dearest Girl! I am in Korea, & Ila let me know about Nudge's precarious condition. I am so glad that you are getting excellent help & you are so right to be glad for the fact that you had a pain that concerned you. I wish I could give you both a "hug!" ...But...my heart is doing so!!! I love & care...deeply.....Auntie Shirley
Tammy, find peace and comfort that God has placed these doctors in your life to help you give Nudge the best care possible. I have been where you are and no matter how scarry it may seems right now God is in control.
Still. Dr. Still. :)
Rachel,
