3 Years Ago Today

Three years ago today I was going into the hospital to have an amnio to see if "Junior's" lungs were ready.  For those that might not know we did not find out if we were having a girl or boy so I gave the baby the nickname "Junior".  My doctor called me the morning of the 2nd as she was writing up my hospital orders and ask me if the baby's lungs were ready did I want to do a c-section that night at 8:00. Originally we were thinking if the lungs were ready we would deliver the next day but since one of the test would be back that evening she gave us the option of delivering that night if the lungs were ready.  I remember her telling me I did not have to give her an answer right then...for me and hubby to think about it and just not to eat anything after 12:00 that day if that is what we wanted to do.  I talked to hubby and we decided that if the lungs were ready we would go ahead and deliver.  We called our families and told them that we might have the baby that night and if they wanted to be here for the delivery they should probably get on the road in the next few hours to make it here in time...that is IF the lungs were ready to deliver....that we would not know until around 6:00 pm that evening.  We then started contacting our friends and letting them know that "Junior" may be arriving sometime after 8:00 that evening.

We were excited, nervous, excited, nervous, excited, nervous......Hubby had an errand or something to run so he said he would pick lunch up for me (remember, I had to eat before 12:00 just in case).  I remember him getting back right before 12:00 and me eating my lunch quickly!!

My amnio was scheduled for 4:00 and we had to be at the hospital earlier than that to check in.  What and exciting day for us.

I had my amnio and then went and checked in on the high risk pregnancy floor. The nurse was checking me in and I kept asking if my results had been posted to my chart.  While we were talking the phone rang and as hubby was talking to the doctor the nurse told me it was probably my doctor because she could now see my results.

The first set of results came back borderline....so no baby to deliver tonight....we would get the big test back by noon the next day (or so that is what we all thought).....stay tune tomorrow for more of the story.
