11th NST/ultrasound and updates

Today we had our 11th non stress test at 9:00 a.m.
My mother, Janelle, went with me today.

He was doing GREAT during the first half of the NST and I thought we were going to get done in less than an hour, but than during the second half, about every two minutes his heart beat would jump really high than stoop really low. The nurse who was doing my NST came in right away and took the paper to show it to the doctor in the clinic (mine was out of the office today because she is working all weekend). The doctor wanted to set up an "emergency" ultrasound to check the pockets of fluids surrounding him.

Our ultrasound was at 1:00 p.m.
The ultrasound went great. There is plenty of water around him. He is still small and he is extremely low!

My nurse called, we are going to be induced Saturday, October 10, 2009 at 7:00 a.m. The reason why we are going to be induced is because he is small and not growing like he should be and my doctor is very concerned that he will loose weight during the last week instead of gaining it.

Please, keep us in prayer over the next two days, my desire is to go "naturally" with him WITHOUT having to be induced, so please pray that we go into labor before the induction--we have two days.!

Thank you for your continued prayers!!

I shall pray, but remember, induced or not, doesn't make a huge difference. If you are induced, it will have the same results: a BABY!!! Yay! I will pray the Lord will give you grace in this time. Hey, if anything, at least you won't have to "guess" if it is actually time to go in to the hospital! Lol! Love ya girl!

I am praying, too! I was induced with two of mine and actually prefer that (weird, I know!). Isn't it wonderful to have a great doctor who stays on top of all of this?

We hope all of you are doing okay. We are awaiting our new great grandson. Our prayers are with you. Have someone let us know when he has arrived. Love you lots.
