Just a little update

I had a Dr. appt today where they did an ultrasound to check on my amniotic fluid levels and make sure our little boy was doing well. Everything at the appt went fine. Heart rate...fine, Contractions....none. The Dr. told me that he would probably try to induce me around the 18th or 19th which was a little bit earlier that anticipated; unless he found out something new when he got the results of the ultrasound back. I have been struggling with keeping my amniotic fluid levels down due to complications with my diabetes, and have been on bed rest for the past week accompanied with a low sodium diet. I am extremely uncomfortable. It makes it hard to breathe, move, sleep, or do anything. Last week I was in the hospital after my ultrasound revealed that my amniotic levels were around 28 (regular is between 10 and 23.) I went down to a 20 and got to go home the next day. Around 5:00 today I got a phone call from the Dr., my levels are now up to 30! I am in so much pain all the time. I have NEVER been this uncomfortable with any of my other pregnancies. At 35 weeks and being diabetic my Dr. is very concerned about taking the baby too early because of lung development delays, so he said to come in on Thursday and he would set me up for an amnio next week in Spokane with my diabetic specialist. When we get those results back he said we will be better able to take action from there. It is kind of scary. We could sure use the prayers. Sorry I have no pics of the huge belly...My camera broke last month and we have been using the camera on our phones for the last couple of posts. What a crummy time for it to break!! Hopefully I will get a new one soon. Until then, pray, pray, pray, that little Jace will get here healthy and safe.
