Free at last!

So after 2.5 days in the hospital on bed rest I am FINALLY home! Yay! This morning we had another ultrasound, AFI test, & monitoring and per usual, they all came back perfectly except for the lowish fluid (which was at a 6.5 today). Our doctor came in and told us the new game plan: since the baby is stable, happy, & healthy there is no reason right now to go ahead with a c-section just yet. So I got to go home but with strict bed rest and hydration demanded of me )Cheyenne is loving his new role as bed and water Nazi). We will be going in every Monday and Tuesday to check on fluid levels and baby's health if all continues on it's current path our doctor would like to perform a c-section when i am at 38 weeks (which would make it around February 3-5th) since the closer to 40 weeks the better. However, I am far enough along and the baby is healthy enough that should we go in between now and week 38 and the fluid levels have dropped back down below 5 again or the baby doesn't seem to be doing as well we can have the c-section done that day and still be ok.
Cheyenne and I really want to thank everyone for your sweet thoughts, love, and concern through all of this. We have been flooded with calls from our amazing family and friends with genuine concern, support, and love and we appreciate it so much!
