...and the countdown begins!

Thursday we has another appointment. It consisted of a NST, OB check and ultrasound. The NST went well, as always. Little Anabelle is strong! It was actually a fun NST! Kyle was with me, and made me laugh. There is one monitor that tracks the pressure on my uterus and tracks contractions. Laughing made it look like I was having serious contractions. But I couldn't help but laugh. It was the most fun I've had at any of these appointments :) Thanks honey! 

Then we went to the ultrasound. The doctor came in and said that the amniotic fluid looked a little low. And started talking about how we might have to deliver earlier. My heart sank. Kyle tried to tell him no, we have a scheduled C-section for March 1st. I knew going in that we had a chance of delivering earlier, but when he started saying how we might actually do it, I panicked. Then he took his time, and found that it looked fine, and just to be sure I do my fetal movement counts and that she moves around. YAY! She gets to grow for one more week! 

Now I am officially done working! The girls are very very happy!! We are down to only 5 more days. I think we are ready. Of course I'm not sure because I don't know what to expect, but am ready to dive in feet first! I think the waiting has been the worse part, and we are just ready to figure out what is next to come. I can wait these next 5 days, but am anxious. I know that in 5 days our lives will change forever, and I can't change anything about it, and I can't prepare for what happens. It's a scary thought, but I am ready. And we have so much love and support around us, it's unbelievable. 

With love,
