EEK!!!

Cheyenne & I went in for our appointment today and once again the fluid levels have gone down to a 5 and the AFI test was between a 4-6 of 10. The doctors all agree that since baby looks totally healthy (heartbeat of 142/minute, approximately 6 pounds in weight, taking plenty of "practice breaths, etc) and that tomorrow is my 37 week mark that it would just be best to go ahead and have the c-section tomorrow at 3:00pm.
Cheyenne & I were able to keep our cool when talking to the doctor but ya know...we weren't exactly thinking we were going to go in there and be told that we were having this baby tomorrow. On the way out Chey had to stop by the bathroom and dry heave and I wasn't too much better.
Since we're going in tomorrow anyway i have made the executive decision to take myself off of bed rest because quite frankly, i have things to do! We spent the morning picking up last minute things (nursing bra, robe, toiletries, a coming home outfit - the one we wanted was ordered yesterday and takes 3 to 5 business days to arrive of course - etc). This afternoon/evening we need to do laundry, clean, pack, work a bit on the nursery, and try try try to get some rest before the storm hits! Of course that last part is easier said than done....
