34 Weeks and Babies?

The doctor visited this morning with the most concrete "wishy washy" news so far. Tomorrow marks 34 weeks, a big milestone. Angela's blood pressure has not increased substantially over the past 48 hours. Her labs this morning were OK. However, the ultrasound from a few days ago revealed the amniotic fluid was lower than they would like.

The plan is for delivery tomorrow. The doctor has put in an order for no food or water after midnight. They will perform a maternal fetal ultrasound in the morning to check on everyone. Assuming no positive changes we will move forward and bring our boys into the world. On the other hand, if they see something positive she may remain pregnant longer (hence the very medical term used by the doctor...wishy washy).

Thank you all for the prayers, I truly believe this is the reason she stabilized and will make it to 34 weeks.
