I think I might hyperventilate!

Well....where do I begin...

Friday I had a sono and Dr. appt. There were a few things to cause slight concern at the sono. Remember how I told you I thought there might be something wrong at the last sono because of the way they were acting. Well when we walked in this time the ultrasound tech said she was just going to check his size and check a few other measurements that were off last time. Well when she got to the head I knew that's where the concern was because that's where the sono tech hung out forever at the last sono. So as she started to measure the ventricles I said "this is what they are concerned with, right?" and she said yes that they were measuring on the larger side but they looked fine for her. Everytime I have gone they have a terrible time getting to the top of the head because he is SO LOW and she said you have to be directly on the top to get a good measurement. She had me twisting and turning until she got it so I am hoping this is not something we have to worry about. The head and tummy were measuring 39-40 weeks but the extremities were measuring about 35 weeks. This is the territory that goes with the infection. I also have a very large amount of amniotic fluid which could mean I am borderline gestational diabetic. So they told me to "be aware" of what I was eating. Good thing we are on the home stretch! Wednesday and Thursday I was having pretty bad heartburn but just assumed it was from pregnancy. I mentioned it to the PA I saw and again was just warned if the pain came back to call. Well we headed to the ER at 10:30 that night because the pain was back! I figured it was better to go get started on the antibiotic again than to be miserable all weekend until I could call Dr. Shepherd. So needless to say, I am back on Clindamycin. I called Dr. Shepherd yesterday morning to let him know and....the csection was rescheduled from April 23rd to April 11th...THAT'S THIS WEDNESDAY! WOW! That was a small gut check...are we really ready for this?! I guess it doesn't matter cause he will be here tomorrow! Dr. Shepherd wanted to see me this morning so I went in and he just said that there is a slight risk of his lungs not being mature, but at this point it is better to get him out than to leave him in and risk me getting a fever and him getting sick because of it. Yesterday I cleaned ALL DAY because apparently Brynlee thinks that mommy cleaning means she can get out everything in sight and mommy will clean it up OVER AND OVER again. This is why cleaning doesn't get done when she is here. I could clean the house multiple times in the time it takes me to clean up her messes! But most of it got done. There was loads of laundry and dishes so I THINK the house is in a decent condition to leave for a few days and bring a baby home without feeling extremely overwhelmed with a mess here too. I have been telling Brynlee the plan for tomorow....Meme and Papa will come over in the morning while mommy and daddy go to the hospital then when mommy is ready she will get to come too and meet her brother.  Her eyes get HUGE as she says "meet my brudder, hospital, morrow." Then I told her she gets to go home with grandma and pepaw. She started flipping around telling me she was going to pepaws night (tonight). We are so lucky to have such amazing family that she loves spending time with so Andrew can be with me in the hospital. I am going to miss her so much though! I don't know if I can go without seeing her! I might be begging people to bring her for a while! Please say a prayer for us, Brynlee and our little man. We don't know what is to come and have complete faith in God's plan! Now I am going to go try to relax and enjoy these last few hours as a mother to 1!
