Thats right folks, I'm in the hospital. I was admitted to the hospital yesterday in Albuquerque. I will be here until the baby comes. The doctor says it won't be longer than a week!!! Thats really hard to believe. The amniotic fluid is really realy low so that is one of the major reasons I'm here. So here I am... never been in a hospital before and now stuck here for a week! Thats all I have to say about that.

Just a short update. We are still hanging in there. I am 33 weeks now and the baby has put on a little bit of weight over the past few weeks. He is doing good. They will try to keep him in there until 37 weeks but if anything changes they can take him around 35-36 weeks. Which means he could be here in like 2 weeks! I'm so not ready for that, thats for sure. I had a wonderful baby shower at work and got some lovely things! I'm excited for the baby shower at the church as well. I'm trying to be good with bed rest but it gets difficult. I went to a movie yesterday and I went to church today. But I'll do better... or at least try. Well folks, thats all for now, back to my movies.

So we saw the specialist in Albuquerque. I am so glad we did, he was very informative and explained things so well. So as of Tuesday Aug 4 our baby is in the 17th percentile of the growth rate for this stage in the pregnancy. Which means he is very small. His head is in the normal range but his body and torso are about a month behind in size. There are no deformities or anything like that. They are not considering him technically IUGR until he is in the 10th percentile but the Dr. said with what he was seeing he will be there in just a few weeks. They are watching his measurements and the blood flow thru the umbilical cord very closely. Which means I get ultrasounds twice a week now. The Dr in Albuquerque said there is no way we will wait any further then 37 weeks which mean we will have a baby in 5 weeks if not sooner. If Greyson does not start putting on a little weight in the next couple of weeks they could take him sooner. The way they explained it is if he is not getting the nutrients in me then they should take him and try to get him better nutrients outside the womb. So all this is what we were told on Tuesday. So Wednesday I went for an ultrasound here in Farmington. They show his measurements at 11%. But the Dr wants to wait and see what the measurements are on Monday before deciding to do anything. So its official....... I'm on bedrest. I finished the week at work and am now sitting in bed. I am not allowed to go to my step sons football games. I am not allowed to go to church. So here I am sitting in bed....wish me luck.
