Sorry I'm just now getting this posted yesterday after we found out we were very swarmed with family and friends. So the Dr came in and said that the Maternal Fetal specialist from Dallas had recommended doing one of two things: either redo the amnio at 37 weeks and see what the results are and go from there, or give two more doses of steroids and delivery at 37 weeks exactly!!! Well DH the Dr and I all had a talk and agree that we don't want to take the risk of having another amnio in fear that it will put me in labor or make me bleed. Also we are getting so close to my due date that my risk of another hemorrhage is increasing dramatically daily. So we are set and scheduled for a c-section at 9 am Tuesday morning!!!!
We are really excited...then this morning I woke up at 4 and started having crampy contractions again. The on-call Dr came and saw me and told me that if I even have a spec of blood, or my contractions increase she is going to take Kennedi ASAP. So I've been resting today in hopes that it will stop but so far no such luck. I really want for DH to be in the OR while we are having her and if I have to go back in a hurry they will not let him back there, because I will be under general anesthesia. Not to mention that he's an hour away right now at drill weekend with the army.
Jodi will update yall after she is born!! We can't wait!!
UPDATE: 5/23:
Well last night the contractions increased in frequency and became even more crampy in nature. I started having all this pain and achiness in my stomach, back, and thighs. I have started into labor. She's moved into position in my pelvic. Still no bleeding though. My contractions are not close enough to deliver though according to the on-call Dr. So we are having contractions every 5-8 minutes that are lasting atleast 2 min. She said if they become more painful like last night and come more often than 5 minutes or we have a bleed we are having her. I'm getting frustrated because if they don't then I'm stuck in labor for the next two days till we have the scheduled section. Kennedi did not handle things well last she didn't look her usual great self on the monitors. it freaked me out. I'm just ready to have her out and see her healthy!!Thank you all for the prayers please keep them coming!!!
