Fluid Update


Well today is the start of our second week. I had an ultrasound today. My fluid has dropped from a 13 to a 4. This is not good news. That means we need to watch Baby Brooklyn more closely. When the fluid gets low the baby has less room to move and breath. This can delay her development. 4 is still a safe number. They are not ready to rush in and get her. We could actually see the tear in the sack on the ultrasound. I have to say I was not expecting the number to be that low. I am doing all I can to keep her safe. I did get a wheel chair today! This is big news. Who would have thought the highlight of my day would be a 15 minute wheel chair ride. I am now allowed to leave the room 2 times a day for about 15 minutes. Still no walking allowed. If this little girl only knew how hard we are fighting for her. She just needs to stay put. The doctor that did the ultrasound seems to think I will be lucky if I make it to 30 weeks. It is crazy that 30 weeks is still over 2 months early. Such a scary thought.  Everything else is good. We appreciate the prayers and encouragement everyone is giving us. It makes it so much easier. I am still trusting in God. I have been telling myself all day that Gods plan is not my plan so I need to stop making plans.

  1. God is definately in charge. Stef has a close friend that gave birth to twin girls at 26 weeks and they are both completely healthy. Just keep doing what you are doing.
