"My OB's Decision"

Well I saw my OB and we are in a waiting game right now. Basically in a nutshell my doctor told me that she thinks we will be delivering fairly early. We have another ultrasound on jan 13th, if baby girl has fallen in percentile again, then we will start steroid shots. The shots are to get her lungs prepped for delivery. I will only be 27 weeks at my next ultrasound, so they are wanting to try and keep her in there until 30-31 aleast. We are praying we can get that out of her if nothing else. My doctor has put me to bed rest at 90% down throughout the day. This is has been quite the task with a 9 1/2 month old, and doing work from home. I see my OB again this coming thursday, she has me seeing her every week right now. So I may have more info. from that if anything changes. Thanks all for the comments and prayers for baby girl. I appreciate having such kind friends and family. This has been a very emotionally draining situation. With Devin everything was so much more abrupt, and he was further along so it wasn't as stressful. There has just been so many doctors this time, and ups and downs. It just can get exhausting with time. I'm learing quickly how my pregnancies go, and it makes me sad that I will never experience a smooth full term pregnancy. I just look at this is as one of my own personal challenges in life. It's all in how you handle it right? Well until I have more info and next time, thank you all again for everything.
