Ready Or Not

So, today I had my appointment with my specialist. And he discovered my amniotic fluid is substantially lower than last visit and lower than what they consider acceptable. He said that he believes that my water did break yesterday. It may be a high break though meaning it is at or near the top of the uterus so only leaks out when I or baby are in certain positions. Which would explain one positive and one negative test yesterday.

Also, he measured wrong last week.. He was extremely apologetic for this and felt awful that he had told me baby was doing so good, when in fact he is not growing much at all. We thought he was 4 lbs 8 ozs last week but today after measuring A LOT, he seems to be only 4 lbs 5 ozs.

Due to the fact that baby is so small, not really growing and my water has been leaking he recommended me delivering in the next few days. By Sunday at the latest.

Shortly after I left his office, my doctor's office called to give me instructions. He has filled out all the admitting forms. I have to call the hospital tomorrow morning at 7 am, then go in to be induced.

The doctor from my group who I have been seeing mostly in regards to the complications will be the one on call tomorrow at the hospital so he will induce me and hopefully be there to deliver too.

So, I guess we are having a baby tomorrow. A teeny tiny baby boy.

Boy, do we have a lot to do tonight:
Pack our bags,
Pack Diaper bag
Pack Rawley's bags
Organize who and when and where Rawley will be staying
Buy a diaper bag
Buy some preemie sleepers

I, or someone, will keep you all posted.
