Today we met with our doctor, Doctor Austin. He did an exam and just offhand said, "We'll see if your membranes have broke because if so we'll probably just send you up to the delivery room." We were both shocked because neither one of us had even considered that Melissa would have to deliver right away. Then he had us to another ultrasound and measured the amniotic fluid just to make sure. Luckily everything came back ok and we're to continue with the bed rest for 2 1/2 more weeks. Basically until Super Bowl XL. He said Melissa can go to every 6 hours on the tributiline (sp?) which stops contractions. He also said we're at -1 station. The range is -5 to +5 which basically means the kid is out. We both thought he said +2 last week but he said he actually meant -2.
I stayed home the rest of the day and tried to do a little work at home. Tomorrow we have Tonya taking Sydney after library story time in the morning. A group lunch with Katie and Aiden and then Bray and Parrish coming over after nap. Thursday is music class, preschool, lunch, nap, and then Kristin, Jaden, and Jacob may come over. Friday Sydney may go to Jill, Meredith, and Maggie's house if they are all well or I'll probably stay home in the morning again. Melissa's mom may be coming next week so that would really help out.
Anyway, thanks for all the meals, company, and prayers. We've got 4 days down and about 18 to go until we're 37 weeks. That's when Doctor Austin says we can go off the tributiline and have the baby whenever its ready. We'll keep you posted.
