"When WIll Baby Addison Be Here"

Well you read it right "Addison" that is what Chris and I have decided to name baby girl. We have been so busy with doctor appts 4-5 days a week right now! It is really getting down to the wire. Things are really starting to diminish, it is just a matter of time now. We think we have Addison weighing in around 2lbs even. That also is basing off of a somewhat inaccurate growth scan last Friday. So really she could be even slightly less too. Anyhow I saw my OB today and my belly has now quit growing all together. We are getting very stressed with each appt, it is just basically waiting until which one goes wrong. She is so borderline with everything, that if even one little thing is off, they will deliver her. So as much as we want to keep little Addi in there as long as possible, we are getting exhausted with the waiting game. I have another slue of tests tomorrow they will run on Addi, I will let you all know what is said. The main concern right now is her low amniotic fluid. Normal good fluid should measure around 10-22cm, but hers is coming in at roughly 6. It is dropping slowly but surely, so one little wrong move and bam she is here. Now you can see why these appts are so stressful I'm sure. Well until I have the latest update tomorrow, I will talk to you all soon. I really thank you all again for your kindness and prayers, it is so amazing how everybody pulls together in these situations. It is more than appreciated by Chris and I. Please continue to pray for Addison, we have got this far now (29 weeks). To be continued............
