But, will it? That is the real question. I slept little last night, not nervous about today, just had to use the restroom or awake to a nasty contraction several times. Needless to say, I am tired today. Got up on time for the amniocentesis appointment and extra long non-stress test that followed and headed out the door hopeful. They were quick to get started and he was nice and still while they drained a few CC's of my 30 cm of water via a long skinny needle in hopes that they will find he has developed lungs. It was uncomfortable, but fine otherwise.
The liquid came out easy enough, but the dr. isn't so sure of the results; it was pretty clear and a very light yellow - not a good sign for one hoping to be induced tomorrow. The best news is that his head has stayed down - thank you for your prayers. Now if it just stays there some more! And I get a positive result from the tests this morning! But I have to wait until 4:30 or so before I find out.
I had one dream last night: that he did't pass the amnio. I was devastated. I really don't like being pregnant - not like this anyway. I'm not afraid for his health or mine, I'm only afraid he won't come out soon enough. I'm not in pain most of the time, just tired and worn out. I was so disappointed in my dream and then of course I had to wake up and get up out of bed (a monumental task these days) and go to where else? The bathroom and then try to go back to sleep.
Faith...keep the faith and trust in the Lord's timing. Never been good at that and I don't think I'll be much better at it this month. But I'll try.
