Thankful

We have been to the hospital three or four times in the past week. It all started with an ultrasound two weeks ago that suggested that Heather's amniotic fluid was a little low (11 cm). Last week, a second scan indicated that the level had dropped even lower (8 cm). We were referred to a doctor and have since had checkups, heartbeat monitors and even a steroid treatment for Heather to help with the baby's lung development in the case of a delivery this week. The good news is that we had another scan earlier today that showed the fluid levels up a bit (10 cm). Thirteen cm is normal at this stage so we and the midwives are surprised and breathing a collective sigh of relief that the membrane is likely still fine. All signs indicate that the baby is very healthy and today's scan revealed a face looking back at us!
